I have an OTF dagger made by Cobratec, which is a clone of a UTX made with crappier steel. Ain't worth aI like the daggers because no matter how you grab them there's a cutting edge. I don't doubt daggers are illegal in a lot of states, not so in Texas.
Yes, they are illegal to conceal carry in my state even for those who can legally conceal carry a handgun or even an AK or AR pistol. Makes absolutely no sense. One would think the 2nd Amendment applies to more than just firearms; otherwise, they would have explicitly state "right to bare firearms."I like the daggers because no matter how you grab them there's a cutting edge.

Yeah I don't get it. In Missouri switchblades and the like were illegal until 2012 when democrat governor Jay Nixon signed a bill repealing the law against automatic knives. Even so, when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s we routinely bought switchblades from flea markets and carried them and I can't recall ever hearing about anyone getting in trouble for it.

I carry a folder of some type; a Chris Reeves Sebenza if I’m feeling fancy, or a Benchmade HK…a cheap Kershaw assisted at work…
Weapon use is the furthest thing on my mind with them; I’m going to use them for cutting open boxes, or peeling an orange, or any other mundane use…not use it as a weapon.
