This is what I found as far as current local ordinances. I agree that preemption is needed as well as cleanup of existing law. I don't know why anyone would care whether I carried a dirk or dagger vs another hunting knife. They are all sharp.
I have a few fixed blade knives I would like to CC but can't because they fall into those categories.
