Camillus prefers tip down because they feel it is safer.
Ohio has no restriction as to length, but the ORC as pointed out, keeps a very nice shade of gray. This permits a LEO a lot of room to maneuver. I have had a few friends stopped and questioned about their 5" and 6" CS folders. Only one was charged with CCW. That was due to his attitude toward the deputy. I have shown my large folders to some of my LEO friends. Not one of them had an issue with the size. They all stated, if they had reason to search me, there was a very good chance that ANY knife they found on me would be reason for a CCW charge. They also said the odds would be good that CCW charge would be dismissed by the judge, but it would get the person being charged off the street for a night.
Bob Kasper has an excellent method for deploying a tip down folder. He basically rolls it out of the pocket. As with most things, the better you know and understand it, the easier it is to use. This equates to training.
