As a general rule, this knife will be legal to carry. Most states have laws against carrying concealed weapons, think handguns and brass knuckles, but have exceptions for "ordinary pocket knives." Often fixed knives are not legal to carry concealed but can be open carried. Foldings knives that do not spring open are almost always legal. You should check with your local authorities to see if this is legal in your city (I won't pretend to know every asinine local ordinance out there). The knife does have a clip so if it is sticking out of your pocket a little because it is attached by the clip, then it is should not be considered concealed.

Mary, I would recommend checking with your local authorities(Police ,etc.) in your state as it varies. Im from the great state of Texas where it is practically mandatory (just kidding) to carry a knife as soon as you can walk - we won't go into handguns...but I believe generally if the blade is under 4 inches it's okay - please check in your state.

Get a Browning hunting knife for better performance. I leave this one in my car as a backup.

I'd bet if you don't carry it on.. and it's definitely less than the liquid max you're aloud to carry... but since it's a fire starting device you'd have to call the airlines probably. They're changing the laws a bit, like allowing non-locking pocket knives now. and such

No, I don't see any way you could do that. I think it is a great knife especially for the money, I bought 3 one on me, one in my truck and one in the safe for when I inevitably lose one.

I think it depends on each state laws, it is a very small knife, still i don´t know if it is illegal to carry a knife this small in public. I suppose that carrying a knife in public could get some people nervous, but this knife in the poket is very discrete. The blade is smaller than four fingers. You can google for state laws about knife carrying. Hope it helps to decide, it is a fantastic EDC knife, is worth every penny.

It's a fairly small knife, so blade is relatively sturdy, just because it's short. It is a knife, though, so you wouldn't want to pry with it.

This blade is legal in Texas. There were also some more knife laws passed that even allow some switchblades.

I am not too sure but I believe it is. This might help, http://gizmodo.com/5989305/9-knives-you-will-legally-be-able-to-take-on-a-plane

I'm not an attorney but my understanding is that the size of the the knife is what makes a knife illegal. I was told that a 5 inch blade or longer is illegal and volt knife is ok to carry because it's under 5 inches. I guess the best way to tell is to ask at a police station.

legal enough to carry around to be honest but check your carry laws if you plan on it

The blade steel is AUS-8, Japanese stainless steel. Whether or not it's legal to carry depends on your locality. This knife would not be the best for self defense, but it would also not be the worst.

In play (as in not stabbing anything) yes. I don't think the blade would hold up of you had to stab anything though.

I am sorry; I just keep the knife in my car for emergencies, and have not tried to sharpen it yet. I cannot answer your question.

It is a blade encased in a large key. You can see the blade when it is closed. This is a handy tool, and I now use it as a gift. However, I do not think it would pass a security check at an airport or a court house.

Sorry. I am not where the knife is. It is not on the thick side. I do not believe it ever gets as thick as the top thick side of my Spyderco police model. Hope this helps!
