Current CA Knife Laws?

[Ironman8]

Hey gents,

I have a trip coming up to CA and since I can't carry my handgun, I was thinking about bringing a knife (for concealed use) of some kind. From what I've read, fixed blades are out, so it's down to a folder. Ive tried finding the info myself, but I'm not the best at reading legal jargon and I'm not sure what is current law regarding folders and concealment thereof. I've got a Benchmade mini-Presidio with a 2.97" blade. It's non-spring loaded but does lock back. Am I in the clear?

CA knife laws are even more screwy than their gun laws, as each municipality (City/County) has their own laws in regards to knives. With that said, a traditional sized folder in your pocket shouldn't give you any problems, while I don't know the P.C. for where I am 100%, I'm not concerned about daily carrying my SOG Trident. With that knife, I'd say you should be GTG in about 99% of areas of the state. (minus gov't buildings and other traditionally restricted AOs)

Wait and buy a cheap knife there,should be legal just go to a local wallworld,the shouldnt be selling illegal knives there,just toss it in the trash before your flight home.

You should be fine, except for the usual restricted places like schools, Post Office, Airport, etc.
