i see these around alot and was just curious as to the legalities of someone actually carrying one? i couldnt find anything saying you cant carry a Folding ice pick.
does anyone know?
 
OK, you're right, it has no blade. Go ahead and carry it. :D

(It's a stiletto. They will lock .. you .. up for it.)
 
i thought stilletos where allways smiliar to the classic "Italian stiletto" kinda thing. seen some variants like the cold steel ti-lite.
what is the definition of a "stiletto" ?
 
Whatever the local court wants it to be. A long thin stabbing weapon.

The word comes from stylus, a pointy writing implement in Graeco-Roman times.
 
thanks a bunch =]
i was just curious if it would be a loop hole because it retracts. since a dirk or dagger is "readily available" for use as a stabbing weapon.

Very true. Another thing to watch out for is the "name" of the knife. I would go for a utilitarian name such as the CS "Voyager", which implies its intended use as an everyday tool. I would steer clear of any knife named "Gut-splitter" or "Death-master". "Guardfather" conjures up images of mob violence.

Traditionally, stilettos are a thin bladed implement intended for stabbing. Military supply verbiage considered the fairbairn-sykes type daggers to be "stilettos". During WWI, there was military issue stilettos that spike-type , 4-sided blades (kind of like Washington monument shaped).

If they did not treat it like a stiletto, it could be treated under a catch-all type clause, that my state and many others have.
