Under Oregon law, it is legal to carry concealed an "Ordinary Pocketknife" However, is my new pocketknife too big to be considered "Ordinary" in the eyes of Oregon's law?
It is a handsome knife, with a nice heft and feels great in the hand. Not my sharpest knife in my small collection, but it is pretty sharp. But maybe some folks would find it to be scary. It does manage to fit inside a pants pocket just fine. I think it conceals pretty well, despite having a blade 5 1/2 inches long.
But if a Police Officer ever found me carrying it, would I be in trouble?
My current everyday carry knife is a small little pretty knife with just a 3 3/8 inch blade. It is very cute and fancy looking, and thus looks rather innocent. But it would be nice to be able to carry something a little larger in size in my pocket.
However, I think that I have gone way overboard in buying this knife. It may be both impractical and illegal to carry. It is just so cool and awesome, though. I guess that this knife will simply have to end up being a collectable.
The knife is a full foot long when extended. I just partially opened it up for this picture, so that it could fit on top of this surface.
What do you think of this little pocketknife?
