Don,
You'd be suprised at how much stuff is legal here. But you must remember it's a big city and the police worry about things like sword canes and sword umbrellas more than most. They worry about the concealed weapons. I think a lot of the laws are stupid, but I know a lot of LEO's down this way and you can't believe some of the stuff I've heard and seen. and yes they'll tell you most times a knife is involved in a fight it's a kitchen knife and it's usually a domestic dispute which is probably the most dangerous thing a cop can get involved in.
