Anyone know the California knife law on carrying a knife?

Ahhhhh the 916 which some of the locals really like to tat, because it's also Mexican independence day.

I had my CCW there so having a knife for protection wasn't really a concern, I just carried a spring-assist SOG which let's be honest is as fast as any auto or butterfly if you practice at all with it. Yeah it's crazy out here in Tennessee we can buy anything over the counter or through the mail, zero knife laws and very few gun laws yet I don't see any difference whatsoever in the reported stabbings and shootings. It's a pretty small segment of society that stab or shoot humans, and we carry to protect ourselves from that segment. Another discussion for another day.

Good luck sir, I would consult a lawyer if you're really concerned about it but if it's something some place like Blade HQ will ship to you, you're probably okay. Stick around, tell us about yourself and visit the marketplace. It's a great forum and there are fantastic people to deal with here.

415 San Francisco's area code is also California Penal Code 415 Disturbing the Peace!

When I travelled to CA last year, I very specifically did not carry anything other than a 58 mm Victorinox Rambler, to avoid falling afoul of CA law. This is the same size as the Classic SD, with an actual blade length of 1.5" free of the knife body when open, non-locking. A Rambler will do 99% of what I ever need a knife to do. I did not, however, take my Rambler through the airport, I bought a new one from Amazon, and had it shipped to my destination, then left it with a family member, so it will be there for my next trip.
