3.5" actually. Just past the legal limit to carry in RI.
I forgot that I do have some other knives. One Victorinox, a Wenger that I can't find any info on, and one more that my parents got for me in Alaska.
I hope someone says they have this.
Good call, I was just going from memory there. Yeah, I've heard the legal limit here in MN is 3" or 3.5", but haven't found any specifics other than bans on switchblades.
sounds messyDon't try putting this one in your pocket! It was just what I needed for .... um.... well, I'll figure SOMETHING out!
i've had my eye on this one
but people around me might figure out who i really am if i actually buy it!
I have a Leatherman Surge (I used to work as a set dresser), a Leatherman Juice S2 (in orange) (it's my girlfriend's, but it's so nice I take it with me more than the surge), a couple of diving knives (I dive), two throwing knives (just for kicks, one day I thought it would be fun to learn how to throw knives), and a machete I got in French Polynesia (to open coconuts, mostly. I'd have died without it). I think that's about it.
Edit: added why I have them.

in the part of the country i live in,
almost all the men, and quite a few women carry knives
if they leave home and have left it, it's like a cell phone, turn around and get it
they work hard and use their knives
they also carry several different types of guns
it has nothing to do with weaponry
now me, i get into the cool stuff, but don't own any

I will have to go into my basement and pull out collection of swords, daggers and knives.
right now on me I have a Gerber 3.5" folder, and a custom 4" folders.
have one of these
in living room to practice with
and these:
these are the makers images not mine - but mine look almost identical
will take photos later
for occasional practice.
much more in storage.

what do you practice?
Western Martial Arts aka Swordfighting. not the SCA dweebs.
with the cutting sword I cut things, like bottles, rolled mats, foam stick, sides of pigs to demostrate effects.
the balance is different on practice swords versus live steel so I practice with the real thing to be able to use effectively.
I also have a couple wall hanger sword in the Conan styel to demo how the physics of a hunk of metal like that will get one hurt and killed.
be careful, those things can really hurt!I am clumsy enough without sharp objects, so this is as close as I get....
Two daggers and three swords from the old tv series: Hercules The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. I bought them when the studio closed down and had an auction to sell everything off.
(note: that last picture is of a model and not me)

Yes they can, but it is less likely that I might die using them.
I've always had a thing for knives and weapons in general. Most of them are cheapos.
The Buck above the axe is what I carry, and up until cutting insulation and carpet at work had stayed pretty sharp. The Ka Bar is my latest, and probably most expensive.
Maybe it's part of growing up in a rural area, but we've always had guns and we always carry a knife. Now that I'm in college it goes with me everywhere, second nature, just like my wallet or phone or keys.
No pics of my wallhangers and I'm feeling lazy.
I'll have to get some pics of them and some of my shields and stuff that I've made. I have a couple board bows that I've started and haven't finished. I was going to a while back but couldn't find my Dacron for the string.
