Knife carry laws in MA? Law enforcement welcome!? ?
Hi,
I own a small collection of lockblades and want to know if it is legal to carry a small (non-automatic) 3 inch Benchmade Vex or any other manual opening folder on the streets and not for recreation such as hunting/fishing. If you are a police officer or security guard could you please help me out. I want to know the laws and regulations on locking (non-automatic) folders in Massachusetts. Just the truth, no copy/pasting!
Thanks!
The best and surest way to find out is just call or visit the P.D. or S.O. where you want to carry it and they will tell you. I will not even pretend to know since I live in Texas and my state is not as strict, but I do know this if a citizen has any questions concerning matters such as this our local P.D. and S.O. is more than happy to answer questions. they prefer answering these questions in advance rather than arrest someone for guessing.

Bowie knives are renowned for their versatility and their durability. However, if you're in the market to purchase a new blade, you'll likely want to know what bowie knives can and can't cut. What limitations are there to these knives? Actually, the limitations are created by the knife itself - its size, construction material and even the keenness of the edge will play a role in what you can and can't cut (or what you want to cut and don't want to cut). What does all that mean? Let's take a look at the question of size. Bowie knives are available in a bewildering range of sizes, from six inches to more than a foot long. Obviously, you won't want to take a six or seven inch knife out for the task of chopping firewood. That's better left to a hatchet or an axe. However, if you have one of the longer bowie knives, they can be quite heavy enough to use as a hatchet (if needs be). You'll find that larger blades are excellent for any task requiring chopping and that bone, wood and even light metal can be cut with consummate ease. As you might surmise, very large knives aren't the ideal item to use when cutting something delicate - it's a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack an eggshell. Conversely, using a small bowie knife to cut heavy, thick things is equally unwise, something like using a razorblade to chop firewood comes to mind.
So, what can you cut with a bowie knife? It all depends on your particular knife. While you most certainly can use that gigantic blade to gut a fish, chances are quite good that the blade will be so large that you'll muck up the job. It's quite difficult to make a precision cut when the blade is twice as long as the fish! Now, you can take that in the opposite direction as well. You might not have much luck using a six-inch bowie knife to cut through thick brush or cut kindling for your fire. Before purchasing any bowie knives, you should make sure that you are buying a design that will fit your intended purposes. Otherwise, you might find that you are doing little more than throwing your money down the drain and that your knife does not stand the test of time.
