You won't run into any trouble with typical pocket knives. Regrettably switchblades are muddy... they fall under the concealed weapons statue so assuming they're legal to possess they would have to be carried openly. There's another law ( http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-311 ) which seems like it might prohibit the possession of switchblades, but from the language it looks like it's only illegal to possess with the intent to sell. Unfortunately, the last sentence says possession is inherently intent to sell. :banghead:
I've had a very nice switchblade for ~8 years I would love to carry. It's pretty expensive and I don't really want to have it seized.
