This section is dedicated to international laws that regulate the detention and carry of knives.
While every effort has been taken to ensure the accuracy of this section, and given the sensitivity of the issue , it is offered to you here as "lay-opinion" and should be considered as such.

Knife laws vary from state to state, as discussed above. Laws are also changed or amended from time to time. This often occurs in a “knee-jerk” reaction to some problem or event. Also, courts, in the form of opinions addressing a given case or dispute, interpret these laws.
