I know Washington says no "dirks or daggers" concealed. I'm wondering #1 if anyone follows this and #2 if there's a "loophole" (I hate using that word) on this. I know a lot of guys that conceal a fixed blade either in their edc pack or their Fanny pack. Those guys breaking the law? Not that you'd ever get caught anyways, shoot I carried a concealed handgun for years before I ever got a permit the day I turned 21.
But I was hoping to add a little sheathe-mounted fixed blade to the Molle section in my edc backpack and another smaller version in my Fanny pack (both inside the pack and not "open" to view so concealed)
Is there a type of knife that is a fixed style blade but does not fall under a "dirk" or "dagger" in Washington laws? I also see the part of the law that says "furtively carry with intent to conceal a dirk dagger pistol or other dangerous weapon". Furtively translates to "in a way that attempts to avoid notice or attention; secretively." So I assume that's black and white… can't conceal a dagger or dirk.. but I don't see anything stating "fixed blade" in general.
Can anyone give me some answers on this one?
