Josh, I just purchased a CRK Professional Soldier from Northwest Blades. It just came in and I cant figure out the best
way to carry it as my EDC. I live in Boston and our knife laws are very vague. I was wondering how you carry yours? Also anyone familiar with Boston knife laws in terms of fixed blades? I am interested.

I tied the cord around the end so about 4" hangs off. Then I tuck that end of cord under my belt. Keeps the knife almost entirely in-pocket but very easy to fish out.

I spent awhile last night trying to retie my paracord to make it look nice and have the handle partially wrapped for comfort. I have been wearing as a neck knife underneath my button downs and in my front left pocket.

I have a small sebenza I carry everywhere. I probably will just carry my Professional Soldier on the job site or at home and put in my toolbox when Im going home. I just wanted to see what more people had to say about carrying a CRK Professional Soldier as an EDC.

Doesn't Boston have a city statute that prohibits knives longer than 2 or 3 inches? I think it might only be a civil penalty.

Sebenza would be considered illegal for a citizen to carry in NYC under their not terribly bright reading of the law.
It is arrest and a $300 fine, plus a permanent CORI criminal record for a weapons conviction. No chance of jail time, though. If you have a Massachusetts pistol permit (License to Carry; LTC Class A or B) such a conviction could be cause for your licensing authority (local police chief) to declare you "not a suitable person" and either revoke the LTC on the spot or refuse to renew it. If you are not a LTC holder, there isn't much to worry about. I EDC a very-well-concealed 4" lock-blade folder; Boston included!

I dont know to much about the law but my interpretation of this matter from what I read in the link provided above (by tom19176) is that a court is going to look at two things: the actual physical characteristics of the knife (whether or not it looks menacing and if it is modified to be used in a combative senario) and also the behavior of the individual in whose possession the knife was found. If you state that the use of your knife is purely utilitarian in nature and your manners reflect those of an upstanding and respectable citizen whose intent is to use the knife as a tool then I dont really think the police are going to be difficult with you. But unfortunately you can never really be to sure. I guess the long and short of it is that if your carrying your blade just make sure that its unoffensive in its apperance and be low key so you dont give them a reason to search you.
