Knife Carry Questions

[RoyGBiv]

Really tho with folder having come so far and the current legality of auto knives I have to wonder if there is much of an advantage to a concealed fixed knife.

Fair point.

Fixed blade is fewer points of potential failure. Trade that against greater difficulty concealing.

Still pondering. Thanks for all the feedback.

My friend Joe calls folders "pre-broken" knives.

Couple random comments:

I'm told locking blade knives of any size are illegal in San Antonio.

A trip to Salado is worth it. Take your wife, give her your credit card, and you're free to do whatever you want.

Other than the secure area of an airport, I can't think of any other places that are strictly off limits for legal pocket knives. There are places that prohibit them, like courthouses as mentioned in another thread, but that will be their own rules.

I usually wear a concealed fixed blade neck knife, no matter what else I'm carrying. Even when I workout. I can't think of any place that's off limits by law that doesn't usually have metal detectors.

You can add Six Flags over Texas to list of no knives. I found out first hand. I will not be going back ever. No CHL carry and no knives= no TXGLOCK21.

True, but that is their own rules and not by statute.

Just be careful to not get a double-edged blade as those are still considered illegal.

Thanks Keith!

Anything else to watch out for?

Yeah....other cool knives. They're like guns, only worse. Once you start collecting, it's hard to stop; and since they tend to cost less than a gun, you can buy more of them..........more often. It's a curse.

Thanks! I'm looking at this for fixed blade EDC.

I picked this one up yesterday (traded for it) and it came with paracord for neck carry.
I wore it home around my neck. I'm afraid I'm addicted now
Never considered neck carry. Thankfully it came with a trainer so I can practice not stabbing myself in the stomach.

Picked up this clip point, Cold Steel Code 4 blade this week (good eBay deal). It's a bit big at 5" folded. Only weighs 4.3 oz and I appreciate how thin it is - no thicker than my little Beretta pocketknife.

Love the look of those tanto blades as was posted earlier. Maybe next time
