You can go to packing.org and they have the knife carry rules listed. Basically anywhere except Denver City you can conceal carry up to 3.5" and in Denver I believe it is 3.0". Open carry I believe is okay if it is a hunting/fishing knife is used in hunting event. I ask a Lt in the Northglenn PD and he kinda laughed and said he could care less is I had a sword in my truck. What ya going to do? Try to weild it from a truck? I had a boynet that I kept next to my seat in my truck so I could cut my seat belt if I needed to in an emergency. But now I just carry a kershaw knife which is for sure legal in Colorado. Kershaws are great, faster than a switchblade and cheaper!!
