With the cost of ammo, those gang bangers must really hate each other. Do food stamps work on ammo?That's cool, you can use the tweezers to get your bullets back!
There is no preemption in regards to knives. The RCW, on it's own, sucks.I thought Washington knife laws varied by city.
Just saying.
I thought they were only good for a roach clip.That's cool, you can use the tweezers to get your bullets back!
Neck knives???
Nope. 1 is a folder (spyderco) which goes in my right pocket and the fixed blade I carry IWB.Neck knives???
That's kind of the main answer I was looking for. So a standard fixed blade that wouldn't be classified as a dirk or dagger is not covered under this law it seemsOP: "I know Washington says no "dirks or daggers" concealed."
Dirks and daggers are a specific classification of blades. They by design and shape are different from common 'hunting" knives.
Dirks and daggers are sharpened on both the top and bottom of the blade vs. only one edge as a hunting style knife.
The advantage of a fixed blade over a folder is for serious combat use the fixed blade by design should have a much thicker blade and hilt/spine into the handle to provide strength against breakage. folders by design are weakest at the hinge.
Smiles,
Don't trust the internet for legal issues. Please see handgunlaw.us and go to the knife section. A fixed blade in Seattle (city) is not legal (a few exceptions). Each city makes its own laws. Generally if it's a folder, and the blade is less than 3.5 inches, and certainly under 3 inches, you are legal.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?
