Check your local laws.

Checking the laws won't usually help. They are usually purposely vague and non-specific when it comes to objective criteria like blade lengths and the meaning of "concealed." Mostly it comes down to an attitude check on the part of the cop as to your intent in carrying the knife--in the case of a complete Highland outfit on Burns Nicht, this probably would work to your advantage and you'd be ok. The same sgean dubh stuck in the top of a combat boot worn in a rowdy bar with a black workman UK might be looked at differently. If the cop felt like it, based on the totality of the circumstances, you'll be having your defense counsel check on the case law for similar situations in your state.

The Marines always say "It all depends on the terrain and the situation."
