FAQ · Utility Knives
Is it legal to carry a pocket knife?
Knife laws are set locally and vary widely by country, state, and even city, covering blade length, locking mechanisms, and how a knife is carried. Automatic, OTF, and ballistic knives face the tightest restrictions in many places. This is general information, not legal advice — check the current statutes for your specific jurisdiction before carrying, and when traveling.
