Would it be illegal to openly carry a single edged karambit? having trouble finding any such information on this from local sources... I'm from Bend Oregon
 
It would be legal to carry it openly, but not concealed.

166.240 Carrying of concealed weapons. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who carries concealed upon the person any knife having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force, any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor.

The words "dirk" and "dagger" can be applied to any fixed blade knife.

Deschutes County only has regs on discharge of firearms, and Bend has no weapon-related laws.
