Look at penal codes 653k & 12020 for most of the knife related laws. Basically as long as nothing you're selling falls under the category of switchblade, butterfly, gravity knife, throwing star, disguised knife, or brass knuckles you should be ok. Just to be safe you probably shouldn't sell to anyone under 18, even though there's no state law against doing so. For fixed blades and manual folders there are no length restrictions, & single/double edge doesn't matter, per state law. The city or county you're in might have more restrictive laws.
