Prompted by the “Bushcraft and Kitchen Duty” thread, I’ve been looking closer at Mora knives lately. It crossed my mind that my Mora Basic 546 (stainless) would make a good EDC. But then California knife laws crossed my mind and I did a bit of reading.

As innocent as a Mora Basic looks, under CA law it qualifies as a Dirk or Dagger and must therefore be carried openly. Since one of Doug’s major issues is knife laws and trying to get them to be more reasonable (my words), it would probably be good for members here to be familiar with the laws of your state/city.

Just a thought, nothing gained by becoming a felon.
