Every day carry knife location

Not trying to be inflammatory, but the Texas state penal code clearly states that you can only carry a concealed handgun with a license and makes no concessions for illegal knives for CHL holders. In all of the instances concerning chl holders and illegal knives, that person lost their CHL and faced fairly steep fines.

There is a federal mandate stating public safety officers can cary auto knives, but that still does not apply in Texas. Being a public safety officer myself, I do carry an auto knife, but there is nothing legal about it.

I'm not trying to be combative, just informative. Personally it was hard trying to find time to get my CHL, and I would hate to loose it due to a misunderstanding.

Does anyone know if it is legal to carry in FL??? I have my concealed permit.
I thought there was a blade size issue?????? Also, fixed or non-fixed...

With the concealed permit is it is legal to carry a knife. There is no limit on blade length.

I carry on an everyday basis 3 knives on my body at all times. I also carry several in a Maxpedition and other pouches.

The three knives I carry include a small blade that I use to open packages, etc. I also carry a medium all round knife, that I would use for utility purposes. And finally, I carry a defensive blade that stays super sharp. I never use the defensive blade to cut anything. it stays in top condition.

Where I carry the blades depends on the pants that I am wearing. In cargo pants I will carry them in the pocket using the clip (it is legal for a clip to show in florida). Some knives I will clip to a belt and have the shirt cover them. When wearing jeans, I use the little watch pocket to carry my defensive blade.

The most important thing is to keep track of your defensive knife - know where it is at all time and be sure it is easy to access. I also recommend as stated, to carry a package opener to keep the defense knife sharp at all times.

I EDC at least 2 knives and a leatherman. 2 is one, 1 is none blah blah blah...

My "work" knife, for cutting banding, cardboard, etc. is right front pocket clipped. The knife is an Emmerson mini CQC-7 Tanto serrated.

MY fighting knife is carried in off side rear pocket clipped. Its either an Emmerson CQC-16 or Microtech UDT depend on my mood/fancy.

My leatherman is carried on my belt in a Pock-Itz pouch at the 4 to 5 oclock position. the pouch carries the leatherman "wave" or my Gerber M-16 tool. depending on my activity. It also carries a Surfire L1 LumaMax light a box cutter and various size "allen" wernch's. a pen and spare key to my vehicle.
The several knife approach is for different functions but also for my get home or bug out. Im on the road all day so if something happens, baloon goes up while im on the road at work, im covered. If I lose a knife, break a knife etc. im covered. Or if I am attacked I have several options depending on the scenerio on what to grab in a scuffle. Or pinneddown and cant reach a primary I have a secondary.
Guess Im parinoid:cool:
