in general that is. Lets just say a civilian who is not an emergency personel. I am using that photo as an reference, so assume there is no EMS emblem on there.
Is that knife legal to carry around if clipped onto the belt or in a pocket?
The knife blade is measured 3.5 inches. Not automatic opening, manual opening.
This knife is legal in the State of California to carry on your person. There is no length limit in California for folding knives unless that knife is automatic or a butterfly knife (in which case they are limited to 2").
The partial exception is Los Angeles. In LA, they have an unsual law that makes openly carrying a knife with a blade more than 3" illegal, but carrying concealed is fine no matter how large. Interesting, isn't it?
People get CA's law mixed up a lot, like confusing the switchblade law as applying to regular folding knives, but it's not how it works. This knife is fine and indeed is a good knife for person to have in an emergency if they are in a car accident. Nobody would consider this knife a weapon.
