These are Portland specific.
20.12.050 Possession of Weapons. ------Specific to parks (though Im pretty sure as far as knives go this one wouldn't hold up in court)
14A.110.280 Weapons. --------the stupid street car one
Those are the only ones I could find that limit knives... So basically, Parks not okay --- Public transit, not okay, but is okay, but not really. Pretty much we're gonna paint a grey area so that we can say that we don't ban it, but can still charge you if you do it.
Just follow the state law and you should be good to go. (Don't conceal, autos, assisted, double edged, or blade longer than 4 3/4 inches, or any combination of those)
166.240 Carrying of concealed weapons. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who carries concealed upon the person any knife having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force, any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor.
(2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section applies to any peace officer as defined in ORS 133.005, whose duty it is to serve process or make arrests. Justice courts have concurrent jurisdiction to try any person charged with violating any of the provisions of subsection (1) of this section. [Amended by 1977 c.454 §1; 1985 c.543 §2; 1989 c.839 §21; 1999 c.1040 §15]
