I, myself was ticketed in Orange, CA. for a concealed da
gger. It was in my back pocket with my wallet, the clip broke off that day and it fell to the ground , had to put it in the pocket as I was carrying things in my hands. The officer wanted to pat me down for weapons had me step out of the car where I informed him of the knife in my pocket. It was a cold steel push dagger with a Krydex sheath . the officer then informed me that being double edged it was a felony and he could be taking me in. He asked to search the vehicle , I told him no, where-as he said he was going to go ahead and search anyway… Because I couldn’t find my Regis or ins. info. Not finding anything, he said he wasn’t going to take me in on a felony, but was going to rite me up on misdemeanor concealed dagger.
At any time during court or befor it could be bumped up to a felony if the prosecution takes a look at the evidence. I only hope and pray that I get a lenient judge that will rule on the ticket with out seeing the evidence.
I had no idea that double edged knives were illegal! I fig uhh red that if I order a knife from a vender it’s ok to own. If you try to get a switchblade, they would not let you get it being from California.
What can you tell me that will help me other than get an attorney? Please, I may need all the help I can get. Than you…

I asked a LEO friend about this and he looked me straight in the eye and said “you’re not the guy we’re looking to put away with this…”

To which I replied “but (a) you force me to down grade my ability to carry a self defense folder (stiff slip joints only) unless I want to risk a felony bust for simply carrying a Buck knife, and (b) it appears you guys have arrested a lot (1000’s) of people who weren’t criminals till they were caught with a flickable 4″ lock-back.”

To which he responded “but we also arrested and later got for other charges thousands of serious criminals….”

All I know is the laws suck as they are currently written and implemented.
