Nope you can not, you need to send it to me tomorrow and save yourself an arrest.
Of course this is all in jest, but not the part about sending me your knife in your avitar.

Here is the pertinent text from the OK Criminal Code:
§21-1272. Unlawful carry.
UNLAWFUL CARRY
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to carry upon or about his or her person, or in a purse or other container belonging to the person, any pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle whether loaded or unloaded or any dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife, switchblade knife, spring-type knife, sword cane, knife having a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife, blackjack, loaded cane, billy, hand chain, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon, whether such weapon be concealed or unconcealed, except this section shall not prohibit:
1. The proper use of guns and knives for hunting, fishing, educational or recreational purposes;
2. The carrying or use of weapons in a manner otherwise permitted by statute or authorized by the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act;
3. The carrying, possession and use of any weapon by a peace officer or other person authorized by law to carry a weapon in the performance of official duties and in compliance with the rules of the employing agency; or
4. The carrying and use of firearms and other weapons provided in this subsection when used for the purpose of living history reenactment. For purposes of this paragraph, living history reenactment means depiction of historical characters, scenes, historical life or events for entertainment, education, or historical documentation through the wearing or use of period, historical, antique or vintage clothing, accessories, firearms, weapons, and other implements of the historical period.
B. Any person convicted of violating the foregoing provision shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable as provided in Section 1276 of this title.
R.L.1910, § 2546. Amended by Laws 1957, p. 163, § 1; Laws 1969, c. 311, § 1, emerg. eff. April 28, 1969; Laws 1993, c. 309, § 1, emerg. eff. June 7, 1993; Laws 1995, c. 272, § 26, eff. Sept. 1, 1995; Laws 1996, c. 191, § 2, emerg. eff. May 16, 1996; Laws 2003, c. 465, § 1, eff. July 1, 2003.
Looks like fixed blades would be OK (pun intended!)--no length limit...as long as it's not a "dagger," "bowie knife," or "dirk." Having that false edge on the spine that could be sharpened makes it "bowie" style, so be careful....
Make sure you look up the OK statutes yourself to make sure you have the most accurate info, but this is a good starting place. :thumbup:

Thanks for your input. That's what I thought but I have never even been one to carry a fixed blade, until I got this little beauty. I am getting ready to purchase the same knife in damascus and really want to carry it. I already carry the one I have around the house, in the yard, etc, but have ordered a slick sheath for belt carry (hopefully..
) and am anxious about carrying it elsewhere.Thanks again and take care,
Brett
