Thanks for that - it appears to be settled in Nevada in a way that benefits the carrier. I've been doing some research and most other (non-legal) opinions I've found seem to go the other way, most notably the American Knife & Tool Institute (often referenced by other sources) http://www.akti.org/resources/akti-protocol-for-measuring-knife-blade-length which says
Where a statute, regulation or ordinance refers to knife blade length, the measurement shall be the straight line extending from the tip of the blade to the forward-most aspect of the hilt or handle.
