I'm looking for NH Laws regarding Bowie/Survival style knives.?
A knife such as a Cold Steel Trailmaster or an Ontario RTAK II.Will be used in camping ,backpacking,hiking etc..Transported in my vehicle at times.The closest example to an illegal knife in the laws were a dagger or dirk,though no specifics on these type of knives and they do run big with a 9-10" blade.I really want to know the legality of owning using one in NH before I purchase one and have it confiscated.
You posted the laws that I have already read.I'm wondering is the bowie/survival knife under the dagger /dirk category,or is it ok to have because it's not specifically mentioned?
