i just check my pocket knife and the blade is 5 inches long
i guess i would be in 2 and 1/2 times the trouble.
i do get some funny looks when i whip it out to cut my steaks
if i have it in a holster they do not like it at the casinos so i have to go back to my car remove the holster and put the knife in my pocket then every one is happy
it is a fish fillet folding knife.
i have been thinking about not using them anymore because when i was hunting i had another folding knife similar just explode while i was gutting a deer and had to take a close look to see if i still had all my fingers.
some times i carry 3 just so i have one for each hand and an extra in case one gets dull or breaks before i am finished.
