Eh... I will carry it once in awhile... throw the dice and see what happens. Likely if I go hunting, camping or any time there is a valid reason to wear full kit civilian battle rattle. LOL
I think next year I'll be good either way. In 2015, Senate Bill 1130 was introduced to repeal 18-2-311 and it had overwhelming support to the very last vote. On the last vote, they realize that existing carry laws for knifes don't have an age restriction, so the squashed the bill to avoid people under 18 carrying switchblades, etc. I hear that several new SB's will be released for consideration next session, which will address the concerns brought up this session. With any luck, next July, I'll be fine. In the mean time, its a nice piece for my collection.

Good! Damn the man.
I knew you'd have fun with it regardless....hell, I would too! Damned if I buy a fun tool that I'm not going to use. Just be careful! Haha

That's great news...hopefully something positive comes out of it like you anticipate. Knife laws have been archaic for quite some time, in my eyes anyway.
Have fun!

Since I brought up the knife store in the Hopi Travel Plaza the other day, (I pronounce it "Hoe-Pie"... it irritates TBH, lol) I've passed it once because I didn't have the time to stop. Now I'm sitting in the parking lot. Plaza is open; knife shop is closed. They have stuff that I want.
Oh well. Maybe next time.

Love me some Hoe-pie. Bummer bout the shop being closed. I'm surprised they don't mirror the plaza's hours.

My advice is Go Chinese.
I just bought a Chinese counterfeit copy of a Buck Vanguard at 1/5 the price. Quality is just as good if not better.
The knife companies are all moving to China anyway but keeping their elevated prices.
I have a family to feed while American companies line their pockets.
Hear that gurgling sound? It is the drain that we are swirling around.
You may need a few good knives.
I am not a curmudgeon, I am THE Curmudgeon!

Finally got by the Hopi while the knife shop was open. I upgraded my lock picking tools.
That got me wandering about the interwebs in places that discuss related subjects, and I came across a cool, custom, EDC knife.

I may have to make one of these.
