    Default Carrying a Knife in California

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    Hi all,

    I am new to this forum and I must say that there is a lot of helpful information on this site.

    I'm wondering if the Swiss army one hand trekker pocket knife is legal to carry in my pocket. I've read a couple posts regarding switchblades and I don't think this qualifies as a switchblade. I measured the blade at 3.5 inches and there is resistance when opening it if this helps (cannot be flicked open). The blade also locks open. Here's a link of the knife: http://www.swissarmy.com/MultiTools/...product=54874&

    Thanks for your help.

    It appears perfectly legal. The only way this might be illegal would be if you carried it concealed on your person with the blade open.
