Is Ka-Bar knife legal in CA? If it's legal, then must it be stored or transported? What are the laws on them? Thanks.

Short answer: YES, LEGAL.
Longer answer: legal for what?
Why might you think KABAR would be treated differently from Cold Steel or ESEE?

I have 2 Ka Bar knives. 1 USMC with leather sheath, the other is a more modern US Navy Ka Bar knife.
Legal to possess? No different than possesing kitchen knives.
Carrying them in public can be a problem in some citys/towns in Ca.Comment

I believe in CA you have to deal with State, County and City rules for carry so if any of them say no go, you can?t carry. I believe a Ka-Bar would be legal to own and carry in your home for now.
In Los Angeles city, I believe the would be illegal for carry though not illegal per CA state law, or at least the last time I bothered to care."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

K bars are fine . It's the file on nail clippers that will get you thrown under the jail. Same thing goes for sporks.Comment

I own one that was gifted to me. I see them from time to time on the belts of motorcycle enthusiasts. One guy I know got into trouble because his flannel shirt covered up part of the exposed knife from view by a police officer.Comment

LA city has laws against carrying fixed blades. Thats what will get you in trouble for it. Best I can tell you just cant carry fixed blades at all in the city regardless of it being open or concealed.Comment

LA bans blades longer than 3", so a 7" KA-BAR is going to be a no-go there.
