As long as you don't do something stupid with your CRKT in the state you are moving to......why can't carry the knife you have. Do you really think people are going to be able
to tell it's 1/2 " too long. In pubic just don't use the flipper in public and you shouldn't attract attention.
You could buy a small back knife like a small Spyderco Dragonfly to use in public. I got one here for $37 on the fs forums. I always carry a big folder and a small backup &
to use the small knife in public.
I'm not going to carry it because it's illegal. it may be a dumb, unjust law but it's the law.
anyway I went on a knife bender and bought a bunch of stuff last month so I'm covered.
