California has specific regulations on knife carry, with common misconceptions about double-edged knives and folding knife length limits. Fixed blades over 2 inches are considered dirks/daggers and must be open-carried. Disguised, non-detectable, and certain butterfly knives are illegal. Assisted opening knives are legal if they require manual pressure to overcome a detent, distinguishing them from illegal switchblades. Large fixed blades can be open-carried without state-level size restrictions.
