Georgia's law is lamentably vaguely written. "16-11-126 (Ga Code) states: A person commits the act of carrying a concealed weapon when such person knowingly has or carries about his or her person, *unless in an open manner and fully exposed to view*, any bludgeon, metal knuckles, firearm, knife designed for the purposes of offense or defense, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument of like character outside of his or her home or place of business."
That said, I have friends who are police officers in Cobb County who tell me that a knife clipped to the pocket will be considered concealed; however realistically hundreds of people carry knives in that manner and it's really more about what you're doing rather than what you have. I always have an Endura or BM710 clipped to my pocket, admittedly folders on the larger size. Having been pulled over and searched a few times, I've never had a cop here bat an eye at either one. Still worth keeping in mind though that since the law is so vague it's left more or less to the discretion of the police what is and isn't an "offensive or defensive" knife. To be totally safe, I've been told by same LEO friends that a folding knife carried in a belt pouch satisfies the "openly visible" requirement. Hope this helps.
