    I think we are way over thinking this issue. If you want one, get one. Just don't intentionally conceal it with an intent to do something against the law. If you are worried about carrying one just don't do it. Plain and simple.

    Now we're back to defining what is concealed. Worrying about whether something is legal or not should be ion everyone's mind.

    After further review I wouldn't want a switchblade anyways due to the possibilities of accidental push button opening in the pocket rendering the necessity of a safety therefore making it a two button operation whereas my spring assist while pushing on the blade flipper is quite safe without additional mechanism.

    I'll just keep my legal Kershaw with it's assisted opening feature , it's one handed , will open with a finger and the blade snaps out...it may not be a "switchblade" but it opens fast enough and can be legally carried. The new Fatback model sells for $22.00 on amazon,
    I love that bad boy....

    Love my autos! And my spring assist, flippers, friction folders and slipjoints. I just love knives, and a choice of what I want to carry for the day.

    I'm with you. I usually carry a traditional style cause pocket clips scratch cars. And they have more warmth and emotion to them. Moderns are cold. But depending on what I'm doing I usually have two knives. One traditional and one either nice solid modern (sebenza, hindered) or a fixed blade. Usually my rod braud D2. Best damn heat treat and behaving knife I've ever owned. I like all knives and enjoy the process of choosing what to carry each day.

    Question. I have several nice Italian Stiletto's I would like to carry from time to time. My question is how would one carry these without them being considered "intentionally concealed"? They have no pocket clip so it would have to go in the pocket.

    That could be considered intentionally concealed. Either carry it with the end sticking out, or get a belt sheath.

    If you where to carry it in your pocket (and I'm not saying you should), you probably wouldn't have any trouble unless you got caught doing something stupid and they tacked that on.

    I EDC a fixed blade! Kind of sort of resembles this one. Under my shirt, in a horizontal Kydex sheath, on my Aegis Ares. Weapon of last resort! I can get to it instantly and discreetly! And it can wreak a lot of havoc and carnage with a deliberate good backhanded swipe!

    Just like my pistol; never leave home without it. ;)

    This:

    A good fixed blade is faster opening, easier to get blade out under duress, and much stronger than any auto, if that’s your best option for self defense, for whatever reason.

    And a small guard can help keep your hand from sliding up the blade unintentionally if you hit something hard.
