Hi Chris,
I've owned a Trident for many years and I also live in WA state, across the sound from you guys in fact. But I have concerns as to whether or not its even legal for me to even carry it outside my home. My question for you/SOG is about S.A.T and WA state law in regards to the definition of a dangerous weapon. For clarification, my assumption is that since you guys manufacture knifes in the state in question as a company you have an understanding of the law so forgive me if that is not the case.
According to the way i read the bottom of section(a), it sure sounds like S.A.T. As the manufacturer, i'm hoping you can spread some light on this.
