Is it legal to carry a kitchen knife as long as it is no longer than 5.5 inches? Given all the illegal Mexicans in Texas, I can understand the stricter knife rules the state enforces. Can we get an update for this page, the illegal knife is not even in the current law, and there is certainly no size limit anymore, there is literally a section called “Butterfly Knives” that explicitly states that they are legal now. Presumably, only the length restriction applies. In 2005, the Texas Court of Appeals ruled in an unpublished decision in Cook v. Declaring that a butterfly knife falls under the legal definition of a switch blade and therefore it is illegal to possess or transport. However, since the law that made switched blade knives illegal was repealed in 2013, butterfly knives are now legal in Texas. Unless I miss something else. Is 7 inches more than 5.5 inches? You can carry a knife of 5.5 inches or LESS “anywhere”. You may NOT carry a knife MORE than 5.5.. that is, 5.5 inches or more at the listed locations. It`s easy for me for Texas to claim pride in the right to bear arms, but do most of the civil rights restrictions I`ve seen have a blade length of 5 1/2″? Real? I mean, I don`t want to carry a machete unless I`m in the bush hitting through the forest. But do you know how difficult it is to find a good shorter knife with a 5 1/2 blade”? I do a lot of survival stuff and such a short knife is pretty useless. I found a set of knives I had just received that was fine but still not what I want to wear.

This is a Shrade set of a Full Tang and a set of folding knives: COM5CP High Carbon IS THE SET, which contains a Schrade folding knife – SCH002 – with a 3 1/2″ blade and the Schrade – SCHF29 – 5″ fixed blade, which comes with the bracket that carries both. These are very good knives. It`s kind of a heavy knife to use, but still, I wouldn`t want to try to hit too much with it here here. Self-defence? Mmm maybe? Wearing a machete is illegal. The defense against prosecution could be if you are also in possession of other brush cleaning/landscaping equipment and it is a work tool. So simple, then why does the article at the top say that throwing stars is LEGAL, then in the Albert vs. Texas states they are illegal. It also explains why it is illegal to throw stars when worn or concealed.

Easy is not here. The law was created by racists who wanted a good reason to arrest Mexicans whom Texas lawmakers thought were knife-wielding lunatics. (Some emergency room staff in some areas of Texas may not be able to object on certain Saturday nights of full moon.) I asked an old Texas lawyer when I was younger what I`m not, how the hell this law came about in Texas. He said, “My son, this law is not for you, the law was passed for the Mexicans.” The law now likes to use it whenever it`s appropriate to charge more fees to anyone they don`t like. Just like all the other unnecessary and politically motivated laws in the books. Welcome to tyranny (the arbitrary application of laws to promote the wishes of the ruling class regarding the weak, which you are when you read this). I`ve read the whole article, and it`s still not clear to me. In the section on the butterfly knife, it says that it is legal to possess the knife, but I just want to clarify. I want to know if it`s legal to carry a butterfly knife openly in Texas. I have also read the restrictions on open wearing and no butterfly knife is mentioned. I also want the sources in the topic to support the answer if it doesn`t take too much trouble. Grey area.

Legal use, of course, but if you wear a kitchen knife on your belt and don`t wear kitchen attire, it looks very suspicious. Keep it in your measurement kit and it`s probably fine. In any case, I suggest you consult your local sheriff`s office if you plan to carry one. Dude, read the article: However, any adult can carry any knife larger than 5.5 inches in a place other than certain restricted places (see below). There are some location restrictions (hence the term “restricted knives”). You cannot carry a “restricted” knife (blade more than 5.5 inches long) to the following locations: This means that you can carry it to most places. Most places that don`t allow them will tell you.
