Ti-Lite in California?

I just ordered the 4" last night. I decided that since my pockets are only 8" deep, that's not leaving much room height-wise. I don't want the thing to jab into my waist when I bend my leg. I might get the 6" some time later, somewhere along the road, though.

Thanks guys :)
 
Lawyer here. 3" blade knives are only illegal if carried OPENLY. LA County Municipal Code:

13.62.010 Knives and daggers defined.
As used in this chapter, the terms “knives and daggers” shall include any knife having a blade of three inches or more in length; any spring-blade, switch-blade or snap-blade knife; any knife any blade of which is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device; any ice pick or similar sharp stabbing tool; any straight-edge razor or any razor blade fitted to a handle. (Ord. 11915 § 1, 1979.)

13.62.020 Carrying knives and daggers in plain view prohibited.
It is unlawful for any person to carry on his person, in plain view, any knife or dagger. (Ord. 11915 § 2, 1979.)

13.62.030 Exemptions to chapter applicability.
The foregoing restrictions shall not be deemed to prohibit the carrying of ordinary tools or equipment for use in a lawful occupation or for the purpose of lawful recreation, or where the carrying of a knife or dagger is a recognized religious practice. (Ord. 11915 § 3, 1979.)

13.62.040 Violation--Penalty.

I carry the 6" Zytel Ti-Lite regularly. It is not too big for everyday carry and makes an effective tool when you need it.

Good choice; you won't be sorry. The best compromise between cutting power and concealability is the 4" folder, hands down. You will barely notice the few ounces in your pocket after a week or so of EDC, but the knife will be there if you need it.
