Are Push Daggers illegal to carry because they are daggers or because of their shape ? I'm trying to figure out if someone made a single edge push knife would it be illegal to carry ?
In Canada at least, it would be because it's a dagger... many an ulu has a similar shape, but because it's a traditional utility blade, we let it sliiiiiide. Then again, I don't see a lot of folk carrying ulus this far south.
I like this idea. "Officer, it's not a push dagger; it's a modernized modification of the traditional ulu."
I asked some local LEOs and their response was "Uggghhhhhh, I dunno." The laws I can find only talk about length and concealed carry, I'll take another look though ...

Tyr- That's what I'm trying to figure out, if someone carried or made a smaller push dagger that could fit in the pocket, would it be legal to carry, back to the interwebs I guess.
Depends on the State. They are not illegal in Arizona or Idaho to carry or possess. Other States, like Connecticut for example, they are illegal to carry, but not illegal to possess in your dwelling. You would need to delve into your local laws concerning daggers etc. Remember there are local ordinances particular to a county, town or city concerning weapons as well.Are Push Daggers illegal to carry because they are daggers or because of their shape ?
