Doesn't make any sense. So you can buy a knife but you can't drive it home? How about the switchblades you can buy at V.I.P. in Orange CT. This doesn't make any sense.Right from the State's websiteLink Removed .
To clarify, it isn't illegal to purchase a knife with a blade over 4", just illegal to transport it on your person or in a vehicle. There is no exemption for transporting a knife with a blade over 4" from a store to your home. The only way to do so legally is to have a hunting or fishing license. Welcome to braindead CT.

Good thing I haven't done service calls there. With my existing career/job my car is my office and lunchroom. I even know to pre-download shows/movies onto my iPhone and watch them as I am eating something for lunch in my car. My car by design is very cozy and as such I prefer it there plus getting away from those annoying people I have to work with.To be fair, it’s also illegal to eat while sitting in your car in Bloomfield. There’s a lot of laws on the books that are not kept up
That's one good thing about Arizona...there literally are no knife restrictions here. Any length of blade, any spring-assisted opening, concealed or open...they're all good.
And as far as I know, we can eat in our vehicles too! While using our knives to cut up our burgers and burritos!

Yes - unless Barney takes a dislike to the color of your shoes you're probably OK as long as it's not visibleTo be fair, it’s also illegal to eat while sitting in your car in Bloomfield. There’s a lot of laws on the books that are not kept up

Plus you can use your car as an oven merely by leaving the windows up LOL.That's one good thing about Arizona [...] And as far as I know, we can eat in our vehicles too! While using our knives to cut up our burgers and burritos!
Ah, so you've been here!
All kidding aside, that's not too far from the truth. Every year it seems one of the local news stations (on slow news days) will do a segment on baking cookies on the dashboard or frying eggs on the sidewalk. Never gets old.
In August - Scottsdale (Intel) with a trip out to Yuma (AKA Hell on Earth
) to visit a friend. Had a roadrunner cross the road in front of me too .
I carry a folder designed by Wes Crawford, (Custom Handmade Knives by Wes Crawford) who lives not far from me. It is a folder, which I prefer for EDC. The knife is currently made by CRKT . It is an Aquisition folder model, I believe.
I am short and round, so no sheath knives for EDC for me. I will carry them out hiking or fishing, however.

Yeppers, back when i traveled every time i went to AZ i looked for a left handed automatic knife. I found one, and also a stiletto but i was not willing to pay that kind of money for something i might have to throw down a sewer drain or (unwillingly) gift to a cop.That's one good thing about Arizona...there literally are no knife restrictions here.

I can buy chea-pass blades of those types but i am reluctant to bet my life on a twenty dollar blade soft enough it can be sharpened with a giveaway emery board.
Been there done that. A few years back I was sent to GA for a company trip. What I didn't realize is out of habit I grabbed my SAK and put it in my coat pocket. Well I found out after my fiance already left and when they pulled my jacket out of the X-RAY and said "Who's coat is this?" Well it was mine and as soon as she pulled out the knife I was surrounded by 6 cops/guards basically some sort of security team; not surprising since this is NY. There was some questioning and etc. but in the end they believed me it was totally by accident but what sucked was since my fiance left I had no other choice but to leave it with them. I am sure someone left with my razor sharp SAK.
When i was stationed in Okinawa i would carry a Buck 110 on my belt when i went to town. One night a couple of JP’s waylayed me and said my knife was illegal, took it, and ticketed me. I went court and was told i could walk with no fine if i gave up the knife or i could pay a fine and get it back. I paid and was told to go by the local police station and pick up my knife.
I went a few days later and presented my receipt. The desk guy ducked into a room behind the desk and returned woth a largish envelope and had me sign a book, then handed me the envelope. When i opened it there was my Buck 110, cut into a bunch of tiny pieces.
I have a 110 in my office for cutting up food and stuff but I am done with any knife that I can't open with one-hand. Hence why I am a fan of Spyderco but recently switched to fixed blades.
Years ago tried to open a 110 one-handed and stabbed the fat part of my hand. That sucked!
Yeppers, watched a friend slice the pad off his thumb trying to one hand a 110.
These days i’ve got a Kizer flip knife with a UHMW bushing and a horn on the back of the pivot that opens as quick or quicker than any automatic knife i’ve ever tried. I like it a lot.
Folder for me.
I carry a Spyderco Merlin.
Some folks get antsy about the inward curved serrated blade but there's nothing better for cutting rope, fabric, or rubber.
The curved blade takes some getting used to for cutting apples and such but I've had it about 15 years so I hardly notice anymore.

I like my newest Spyderco Native. I have an older Native with the rubber grip and serrated blade which I take along anyplace one could lose a knife, such as the woods. But just for my daily, everyday knife, I like the clean edge. They're easier to sharpen, and this one is all-around pretty tough. It seems like it might be slippery, but the machined grooves make a really good grip.

Just buy an open assist Benchmade. Under the length limit. Bullet proof (or cheap service). And if you dont trust the stability of a locked (and safety on, so to speak), you can't trust a fixed blade. Depends how fast you need to deploy, but I'd bet a good Benchmade would do the job without a massive holster. Just my experience. And I dont live in AZ.
Also, while it depends on the state, some knives just look more menacing and require more LEO attention. A 14in all black tanto with serrations just look like you wanna do damage or just slice veggies whilst camping. Kinda wide range. But that's why a folder is better for me. But I only buy Benchmade these days. 3
