Junior Bravo-

Here is part of a post I made on this topic. You might search this forum for more information. And review the appropriate statutes as well as local and county ordinances for applicable regulations for your city/town/county. Note that institutions such as universities have their own regulations as well.

Arizona Revised Statutes Title 13: 13-3102. Misconduct involving weapons; defenses; classification; definitions

A. A person commits misconduct involving weapons by knowingly:

1. Carrying a deadly weapon without a permit pursuant to section 13-3112 except a pocket knife concealed on his person; or

2. Carrying a deadly weapon without a permit pursuant to section 13-3112 concealed within immediate control of any person in or on a means of transportation; or...

There is no reference that I could find that describes the lawful blade length of a pocket knife. I do not know how they determined it was 4". Interesting note, the University of Arizona has a regulation adopted by the Board of Regents which limits blade length to less than 5" in length for knives on campus: A weapon for this purpose is defined as “any object or substance designed to inflict a wound, cause injury or incapacitate including without limitation, all firearms, pellet guns, switchblade knives, knives with blades five (5) or more inches in length and chemicals, such as mace or tear gas but excluding normally available over-the-counter self defense chemical repellents.”

The laws typically state what is unlawful and not what is lawful.
