21310. Except as provided in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section
17700) of Division 2 of Title 2, any person in this state who carries concealed upon the person any dirk or dagger is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state prison.

a fxed blade neck knife is considered a "dirk or dagger" and it is illegal to carry it concealed.
16470. As used in this part, "dirk" or "dagger" means a knife or other instrument with or without a handguard that is capable of ready use as a stabbing weapon that may inflict great bodily injury or death. A nonlocking folding knife, a folding knife that is not prohibited by Section 21510, or a pocketknife is capable of ready use as a stabbing weapon that may inflict great bodily injury or death only if the blade of the knife is exposed and locked into position.

If the neck knife is worn outside your shirt at all times it is not concealed and therefore legal. If it ever ends up out of site, covered by your shirt, jacket etc. it is a crime.

Nice Ok thats what I needed. No more neck knive for me. I must find one less then two inches.... Bummer I liked that knive It was actually very functionable. I really thought it would help protect me and my family in a bad situation.
That sucks Laws make it so we can not defend ourselfs.. BAD GUYS DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAWS. |

It is a crime to carry a concealed fixed blade knife even of the blade is less than 2" long.

i know its not a fixed blade, and i know it is kinda big but this is the one i carry. It is the Cold Steel AK47. I am sorry to say but it is an expensive knife HOWEVER it is my second Cold Steel knife(only because my wife stold my first). The first one i have had for going on 5 years and i have not had any problems with it other then having to sharpen it. it locks very very well and the thing i like most about it is when you pull it outfast(like you needed it) there is a kinda hoook that catches your pocket and opens the knife.

So its even worse NO neck knife... Big 5 sells little crummy ones under 2inches but oh well no wasted money will be spent at big 5.
The knife I have is nice (was nice) It has a great handle full tang and a tanto blade, very slim never noticeable with a strong blastic type sheath. I am so bummed !! Yes I carry a pocket knife with quick thumb opener. But I still think I (know from practice)My neck knife was fast accessible and the bad guy wouldn't even know I had it until he felt the blade cutting that mother bleeb. |

CA thinks a dirk and a dagger are the same thing. Legal definition from Penal Code posted in #6, above.

Just to clarify ANY knife in the ready position is considered a fixed blade. If you open a folding knife then put it into your pocket it is now a concealed fixed blade, because it is in the ready position.

Just get a folding knife and be done with it. Fixed blades are too much hassle in this state. Folders, on the other hand, can be carried concealed, openly, or however else amuses you. And barring a local ordenance, there is no size limit.

Yup. Folders are pretty awesome these days and there's a huge variety to pick from. You'll end up using a folder a lot more than a neck knife anyways.

Not necessarily. I frequently OC a Cold Steel Safe Keeper II and have never been hassled for it either by police or other regular citizens. The only time it would really be a hassle is going onto a school campus, which I never do.
