I bought an otf switchblade not too long ago for nostalgic purposes but it's too big and heavy so the kershaw flip is usually in the pocket instead.Correct! Also from everything I've read having a pocket clip showing is enough to avoid "concealed". But everyone should do their own research -and I don't want to look it up again.
Around here we have goofballs open carrying machetes (usually homeless type people), Samarai swords, and fantasy type swords. Before they encrypted police dispatch I heard probably around 10 such police calls and police don't hassle them unless they are threatening poeple. Scares peopel enough to call the police though when they see them.
I always thought some of the bayonets would be a good thing to carry on belt if someone were doing that sort of thing (not me). Watching some of the medieval and older historians they always say if you hold it in your hand and reverse it back to your elbow it should reach your elbow or farther as far as length. Fe this k31 bayonet would be easy to open carry on belt but I never would. Used to carry switchblades of various types until I found my favorite knife (Civivi D2) and like many other non-spring assisted flippers/other mechanism they open just as fast one handed as a switchblade.
Elbow length bayonet next to 3.8" blade Civivi for reference:

Like you said it opens just as fast with one hand and is small/light enough to pack it and forget it.
