I plan to EDC a Spyderco Endura, which has a blade length more than 3 3/4 inches. Wanted to check if this length is a "legal" carry. Mostly it will be in my jeans pocket, day in and out. Some other thread here indicated that 9" is, but not sure if it differs for folders.

9" is a limit for import
as some one said here 3 1/5 limit for carry in city limits, but I assume it is for fixed blades.

There is no such limit/All India restriction.Please stop misinforming people.Subal das wrote:as some one said here 3 1/5 limit for carry in city limits, but I assume it is for fixed blades.
I would be more than happy if you can prove me wrong.
I would also like to point out that different states have issued their own notifications on the blade length of a knife that would require a license to carry.Please check what the local law says.The 9" limit is not uniform through out the country.In some states,it is even less.This does not apply to knives/sharp edged weapons meant for domestic or agricultural use, a sikh's sword or a Gurkha's Khukhri.

Re: Folding knife blade length?
Okay, thanks. That helps. I can then indicate that my folder is used for peeling/cutting oranges, and onion and tomatoes - this way it will be "domestic" use.
