If it's slip joint and has no locking mechanism and has a blade under three inches, it is legal to carry under s19. It's not illegal, even lockers and large bowies are legal, you just have to have a good reason for carrying them.

the cutting edge is less than 3 inch,....but the blade has a choil,...and from tip to the handle is over 3 inches,..

i dont want to open a discussion on the old legal thing on here,,,but if you search Boker XS over on BB you'll see all the chin rubbing and head scatching you need,....

Grendel, what's the 3rd down from the top pic?

I remember a glut of those being brought over from Spain when I was a youngster.

Ah I see, my svords blade length is over but I removed enough edge to make that under 3" but I'd still be unsure about the coppers knowing every detail of the law..

I like that knife though, it's one of the most popular on hiennie.

In that case, I'd say it would not come under the EDC carry unless you have reasonable excuse. Best to play it safe when knives look 'tactical' like that. Shame.

your house!
AS far as I am concerned, it states the cutting edge is the measurable factor with regards to the law.

"This section applies to a folding pocketknife if the cutting edge of its blade exceeds 3 inches"

has there been any cases where a knife like that (blade length over 3" but edge under) has gotten someone lawfully prosecuted?
