Just read Virginia's knife statute and it says a knife with a blade three inches, or over is considered a weapon, unless carried while hunting, fishing, etc. So a Delica would be your best bet, as its blade is just a hair under three inches (2 7/8"), so it would be legal to carry in Virginia.
Thanks! Do you have a link? I Googled and read what looked to be relevant law. I saw mention of switchblades, razors, butterflies (I think), etc., but couldn't find any reference to blade length. There may be more than one statute. I appreciate the help.
Update: I think I may have found the reason for my (and others') confusion. In further searching I did find something in VA law that refers to blade length, but it looks specific to "school property".
Here is the relevant language:
§ 18.2-308.1.
Possession of firearm, stun weapon, or other weapon on school property prohibited.
A. If any person possesses any (i) stun weapon as defined in this section; (ii)
knife, except a pocket knife having a folding metal blade of less than three inches; or (iii) weapon, including a weapon of like kind, designated in subsection A of § 18.2-308, other than a firearm; upon (a) the property of any public, private or religious elementary, middle or high school, including buildings and grounds; (b) that portion of any property open to the public and then exclusively used for school-sponsored functions or extracurricular activities while such functions or activities are taking place; or (c) any school bus owned or operated by any such school, he shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
This isn't meant to dispute anything else written. It is just my interpretation of what I could find re VA law and my guess as to why there may be some confusion and contradictory info out there. Please link any info that contradicts or adds to this information. Thanks again.
