In CA a pocket fixed blade knife can get you in trouble. A fixed blade knife is considered a "ready weapon" and as I said can get you in trouble in a hurry. Some do carry them and the "ready weapon" rule is used mostly for those that have committed some other infraction to add more weight to that charge.

I've always been satisfied with just carrying a folding knife in my pocket. When I do carry a fixed blade knife (rarely these days), I carry it on my belt in plain view.

Surprising to me Gary that NY lets you guys there get away with carrying a fixed blade concealed in your pocket. Nice knives you've pictured above by-the-way.

I believe such a knife can be carried in Kali as long as its not concealed. Throw on a jacket and you might be committing a felony.
 
I know it is not the most traditional style knife but the esee izula is an awesome little pocket fixed blade. The stock sheath is great but you can also use a leather one like the ones at (vendor reference deleted). I have also seen lots of people put handles made from wood, bone almost anything. A few simple mods and the Izula could fit the bill.

Well, my little pocket puuko passes it's first law officer test.

I stopped at a 7-11 for a cup of coffee and they had the little half and half creamers sitting in water from the melted ice. All the tops were soggy and when I tried to pull open the tops, the pull tab just tore off. Being impatient, I pulled out my little pocket puuko with the rosewood handle, and slice open a couple. Of course there was a cop standing just the other side of the coffee island getting his own coffee and he watched my pulling of the little pocket fixe blade. I made my coffee and then took a napkin and was wiping off the blade when he asked to see the knife. I handed it over to him and he looked it over carefully while I asked him if there was a problem. He said "No, I just thought it was a nice looking little knife, and I've never seen anything like it before."

I then brought up the question of the legality of the knife, and he said the next statement with a laugh. " Mister, if I bring a white bearded older gentlemen like you, on a cane, into the station for a inch and a half or two inch knife, I'll be laughed out of the place! You'll get no problem from me over this itty bitty cutter."

He admired the little knife for a bit more and then handed it back to me. I slipped it b ack into the sheath dangling just outside my pocket then slipped the whole package back in my pocket. We went our separate ways, and that was that.

It seems that, although the People Republic Of Maryland does not permit the concealed carry of sheath knives, if they are small and innocent looking enough, they let it go. Staying to something about the size of an open peanut, and staying away from any kind of tactical look, is number one on the list.

I think it has to do with how you handle yourself, taking a knife out do your business and put it away, not waving it around, also the officers sensibility.
I once cut myself pretty decently when I was working as a Chef and took a cab to the E.R, had two uniformed officers approach me, and tell me I needed to go with them and fill out a police report? When I asked why they said, " you have a knife wound and we need to know who stabbed you" mind you I was wearing a Chef coat, and black pants, when I told them I cut my own hand, I'm a Chef and I accidently cut myself, they then asked me why would I do something like that? I had to explain to them I had been working a month without any days off 16-18 hours a day and was pulling a wedding together, they seemed so puzzled like I cut my hand on purpose. I then had to show them my knife roll I was carrying, I found the whole situation extremely strange and uncomfortably.
Sorry a little off topic.

Common sense is not lost in this world, yet.
 
Hey big fatttyt, can we see that "semirazel" ? I like that sheath as well. it is hard for us guys who live in states that ban concealed fixed carry. I am looking at horizantal carry to attract less attention but worry that this might compromize the "open" carry as it is less common than a "belt sheath (traditional-vertical)". Anyone have any experiences with that?

It is the first knife I made (only one completed so far). It was made with files, and sandpaper, and a mini hack saw. The pin holes were drilled by hand with a hand crank drill!!!!!! (only used power tools to sharpen it, and finish the handle shape).

Here is a custom I askd a friend of mine to make for me. 15N20, walnut and 6.25" LOA. No sheath yet, but I will make one soon.

It is paired up with a bigger drop point using the same walnut from the same block

That's a handy looking little knife. That smooth bone with the mosaic pins looks really nice.

It really is. I made a small lanyard for it and it has become one of my dress knives. And he is a wonderful knife maker, his sheaths are great too. I have him working on a custom order for me now and I can't wait to see how it turns out. You should see what he does with san mai...

I have been eyeing the Bark River Pro Scalpel II. Bark River has a good selection of what would be considered pocket fixed blade knives and the Micro Tusk was another one I was looking at. Good looking knife.

I love the looks of the Micro-Tusk myself, but it appears they are no longer in production. :(
 
I've been kind of wanting a little pocket fixed blade for a while, but I don't have much to spend on one. Especially since I just don't know if it's something that I would really carry and use or not. So I just ordered a couple Morakniv carving knives. It looks like a puukko. (I'm just learning about puukkos, and I don't know if that's what you would call this little Mora) Anyway, it looks like one could do a little handle modification in it, like on Opinels- customize the grip, put a pretty wood stain on it. etc.
Do any of you carry Moraknivs like that? Do you have pictures to show? I ordered a Morakniv Wood Carving 120 Knife with Laminated Steel Blade, 1.9-Inch, and a Morakniv Wood Carving 122 Knife with Laminated Steel Blade, 2.4-Inch.

If they aren't pocketable, it's OK, since I'll be carving with them anyway.

The top one is the smallest, I can barely fit three fingers on the handle. Others are around 150 mm overall lenght.
 
The mighty Bluegill from JK Knives. I carry this little booger every day. A great pocket fixed blade.
