Chicago Knife

i think the "dirk" or "commando" thing is what will get people in trouble. and the concealed part. that is where the officer discretion comes in. if they call it a dirk, its a dirk.... its just my opinion though.... on another couple of boards i am on, its been discussed at length, by alot (by ALOT) of LEOs.... PROKNIFE leos.... majority agreed the risk was pretty high of any fixed blade being called illegal if contacted.

gotta love the "wiggle" room........

Hey guys, Cubby's rigth on this one I think. I got a legal opinion about the definition of "dagger" in California and the legal definition was "any knife ready to inflict a thrusting wound" - basically anything fixed could be defined as a dagger. There's concern that locking blades could get this definition too once the blade is locked.
