Welcome to Bladeforums!
You'll have to tell us what part of the world you live in. Laws vary from one place to another, believe it or not....

I would say 'No'. I have even had a bit of trouble with a Texas DPS officer who had stopped me for a slight speeding violation (5mph over limit mid afternoon, clear roads, perfect weather) who kept eyeing my walking stick (5 feet long, semi-smoothed cedar, OBVIOUSLY dirty on one end)....(I like parentheses)....
Kept claiming it was a club. I kept explaining it was a walking stick and I was on my way to join some buddies hiking.
Just glad he didn't want to pick up my jacket....with my Highlander Bowie under it.
Got a ticket and a lecture about 'dangerous weapons', I didn't feel it was prudent to ask him if he harassed any of the numerous older gentlemen who walked the neighborhoods carrying a golf CLUB *hello!* with INTENT to use it as a weapon....
I think any stick with a piece of metal/spike/blade of any kind affixed would constitute a weapon and be subject to LEO question. Religion or not.

Sometimes laws are strange.
Heard about that case in Canada? The Sikh kid can now have his Kirpan at school. Kirpan that MUST be pointy AND sharpened, but using it would be against his religion.
I am very respectful of other cultures/religions/etc, but they could have cooperate a little. If it's against their religion to use it, why does it have to be pointy and sharpened???
I'm not saying they would use it, I say those guys are surrounded by people who could.

Hi, we had a discussion about the Sikh in class one day. It's also allowed in the US, buy many school require it to be conealed on their person, or even ziptied in.
