Hi,

I live in Brazil and I'm going on holidays to California.
I'd like to know about laws and limits for knife or folder carry, so I can choose what to bring with me.
I've heard something about 4" blade limit and "inercial opening". Can a Spyderco Caly 3 be illegal ?
And I always carry a Swisstool in a holster, in my belt. Is it a problem ?

Thanx in advance for your help.

Here's a link that sums it up:

Basically, there's no length limit, provided it's a proper folding knife and not a fixed blade (what they call a "dagger" or "dirk"). The Spyderco is ok, provided you carry it closed. If you lock it open, then it's a "dirk," and so you can't conceal it. But, who would want to do that anyway?

It looks like California is actually pretty cool about folders.
