If it`s a multi-tool, that`s probably fine. If it`s in your home, it`s probably fine. If you keep it hidden in your pocket, that`s probably fine. Do not attach it to your pants. If the blade is greater than 3″, it`s technically illegal, but Stop and Frisk has been banned by DeBlasio, so keep it in your pocket, out of sight. Don`t put it in a pocket, these are subject to research (and I see research all the time) What about owning swords? I think in Long Island Ny I have like 6 they are for training and maybe for the zombie apocalypse. They are kept locked up, and I don`t take them outside. Is it legal to possess? I don`t intend to wear them, so it doesn`t matter?? This information is presented as a brief summary of the law and not as legal advice. AKTI is not and cannot be a legal service provider. The use of the website does not create a relationship between the lawyer and the client. Laws are interpreted differently by law enforcement officers, prosecutors and judges. AKTI suggests that you consult a lawyer for advice. So a Stilleto is legal to possess in New York and since there are «no secret laws on carrying, is it legal to open or hide a legal knife» so that I can carry it properly? No sharp sword can ever be carried in public.

Even blunt (untreated) blades are not advised to wear. If you decide to wear it, make sure you find a way to secure it so that it can`t be pulled. If you come into conflict with the law, you will probably end up with an unpleasant fine, a new pair of bracelets, a good story, but no more swords. IMO`s knife laws are outdated and ridiculous, especially in New York. Gravitational meters are legal, otherwise they wouldn`t sell them in stores, such as Kershaws. I have a few automatic knives. They deploy as quickly as a gravimeter, if not in a split second. Policymakers need to redefine the statutes of the law and apply common sense to books. I was supported in the New York subway to carry a legal knife under a blade length of 3″, not open, just a normal folding pocket knife that requires 2 hands to open.

The pocket clip was in sight as the knife was in my pocket. Assuming that it does not completely eject and detach from the object from which it is triggered, it is not a ballistic knife. Even if it`s not sharp or sharp, I guess it`s not illegal to use it for cosplay It wasn`t an urban anomaly — the bloody incident is one of 24 machete incidents in the past five years, The Post found. Is it legal to own a 5 1/4-inch blade dagger? I saw it on Amazon and I`m just wondering if it`s okay to transport it to New York? I lived on a farm, hunted and fished. I moved to North Tonawanda, a suburb of Buffalo, NY. One day, I was arrested and harassed by a police officer, literally because I was «new to the neighborhood.» I forgot I still had my Switchblade in my back pocket and my Alaskan hunting knives in the trunk. The officer charged me with criminal possession of a fourth-degree weapon and a criminal complaint for each hunting knife. They didn`t give up the offense because my hunting license had expired, but they dropped it (felon knife charge) in order to stay in the city court and not go to the county. All I have to say is that NYS is the worst state I`ve ever been to. With other restrictions added to put innocent people in jail or charge them money.

I don`t understand why my knives were more illegal than other knives, or why I`m portrayed as a criminal when I love to hunt. If there were more mass murders with hammers, would they make them illegal? I`m a carpenter, will they bother me because I`m wearing tools? I say goodbye to NYS, I won`t miss you. In New York, there are no specific laws on the carrying of knives. Any legal knife can be hidden or carried openly without being offended. But you can not carry here knives whose possession is illegal. What is really legal to wear in New York to defend yourself??? If you can`t prove self-defense, it seems just as easy to be convicted of a crime if you cut off your abuser.

While there is no size limit in the state, AC 10-133 makes it illegal to carry a knife with a blade of four inches or more.

In addition to the obvious problems, possession of such an object is punishable by a fine or imprisonment of up to 15 days, regardless of any illegal intent. Needless to say, police discretion comes into play strongly in these circumstances and the law is enforced by a «pink» subpoena.

The police illegally confiscated the knife by sneaking over me from behind and taking it out of my pocket without my permission while asking, «What is it?» I calmly replied that it was a pocket knife and asked if it was illegal. She first told me that it was illegal to have a blade of more than 3″ and I pointed out that this was not the case. She then said that carrying a knife in front of everyone`s eyes was against the law and asked me why I had it. I told her I was using it for work, and she asked me if I was in the «union.» Confused, I said no, without understanding what a trade unionist would have if I had a knife for work. She wrote me a post, and when I asked her about the knife, she wouldn`t give it back. No, it`s not for 2 reasons. The first is that it is longer than 4 inches. You have to be careful, because unlike any other state. NY measures the curve of the blade, not its height. The second is that it is made for combat and even if you use it to say open boxes, you can still be stopped.

NYC carries very small, hard-to-open knives that are obviously made as a tool rather than a weapon. Upstate I`ve heard of people wearing machetes without any problems. It is the police officer you are dealing with, not the law. Some of them will bend and distort the law to wear something that is half illegal. Hey! I am a young girl who wants to carry a knife to protect me on the way home. The knife I want to buy is nine inches long and is classified as a «godfather`s knife» (I have no idea what that means). So that raises a few questions. First, is it legal for me, as a minor, to have a knife in public without intending to harm others? Second, I live in the northern suburbs of New York City, so do the rules change where I am? And third, does the type of knife I buy (godfather`s knife) violate these laws? Are there any length restrictions I should be aware of? An answer to any (or all) of these questions would be welcome. Thank you! I went to court, and the judge told me that even though it was technically illegal, it seemed mysterious and pointless to have indicted me.

But instead of throwing it away, he forced me to plead. Not guilty would have required a trial, and Guilty was fined $100. I pleaded guilty. It`s illegal to carry a sword or katana as an oart in your Holloween suit, according to New York state law: Would it be illegal to wear a wooden training sword like a pookuto in New York So is it illegal to own shuriken throughout New York State or just in New York City? Carrying a sword in any big city is illegal. If the sword blade has an edge and that edge is sharp, it doesn`t matter if it`s a suit or a threat, it`s seen as if you`re wearing an AR-15. You may not intend to do harm, but you have no idea of the intentions of other people around you. Better to keep it plastic carambats are legal in New York. They can be used for hunting or farming purposes and must not have a blade length of more than three inches. In addition, you must know how to confirm YOUR authority and not expose yourself to the police under the radar of tactics. Just say, «Don`t do and don`t do.

I have an outdoor knife «Ka-Bar Jarosz Turok». I bought it for camping and hiking to do all the tasks I might need it for. Cutting wood, etc. I live in Queens NY. After reading this forum, I am happy to say that I am better informed about the laws of knife possession. However, I have a question. Even though it is legal to own a knife like mine, do I still need to have legal documents like a permit, etc.? I see outdoor knives sold at sports stores all over New York, and I even once bought fishing knives as gifts.

I`m a little afraid of being intimidated by the police because of this knife when I go on a camping trip.
