depends,
if you don't have a reason to carry it I think it could be considered illegal, as it's more than 3 inches and locking. (i'm no expert)

But there are many reasons why you could carry it legally, i think there's a sticky related to that here on the board.#

taking it to the moot, no problem! just leave it in your rucksack on the way and you should be fine...

Providing it's in your bag where you can't get at it easily until you are on the site then it shouldn't be a problem.

I can't see the length of the main blade in the text but it looks to be the same as the serrated blade which you write as being 2 1/2". The problem is the 'locking' feature. You should not therefore carry it habitually without good cause. It is a locknife.

Nice though, and where you have good cause very handy I am sure. I always find the handles awkward for prolonged use mind, but many of the other tools are quite handy and how often is it used for a prolonged period of time anyway ?
