    I got pulled over in California with a 3.5" benchmade folding knife in my pocket. The cop asked me to exit vehicle and asked if I had any weapons. I told him I have a folding pocket knife which was in my right pocket and he asked me to remove it and place it on the hood of the vehicle. I did so slowly and telegraphed my movements and then stepped away from the vehicle so he could Pat me down. He then inspected the knife and gave me a sobriety test. I passed and he let me go. If you gave a fixed blade machete in your car you just put it in the trunk and declare it. If you’re hiking with it you just need it in a holster.

    You cant have a cane sword or an assasins creed style contraption or shit like that. A knife in a knife block in a cardboard box that says kitchen isnt going to violate the law
