Y’know, I’m not sure what the NYC law is on carrying a knife with a four inch blade. I think it’s legal (thefactor will know), as long as it’s not a switch blade or gravity knife. Since there was no mention of this in the article, I guess it’s legal. That knife saved this kid’s life...aqnd killed two thugs.
Carrying a knife with a 4 inch or longer blade in any form is illegal. You can get a criminal court summonse for it. A gravity knife or a switchblade counts as a deadly weapon and that is an arrestable offense.
It looks like 4” is legal in NYC.

Here in California, any concealed knife is illegal. That is why we all have knives that clip outside your pocket (knife in your pocket, clip outside your pocket). The clip is not concealed and therefore it is “open carry”.
