i'm willing to take that risk in the detroit area. the problem cities are centerline and taylor?
There are many problem cities when it comes to knives. The bulk of Wayne Co. cities are anti-knife carry.

i was going by this: http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/USKnife.pdf
got a cite for any others not on the list?
according to my list, dearborn allows up to 3".
his list seems to be a goodlist..Seriously - if you want a feel for just how nutty local knife laws can be check out Dearborns.

there are obviously a lot of cities not on that list. most of the cities around here are included, though. centerline, though tiny, would be the biggest issue for me.
and the most interesting part of the michigan knife laws... people with one arm can have an automatic knife.
i would not even carry an assisted open type knife.
also were can i find info on carrying in a casino
After thought: even if a knife is of a legal size??? It gives an officer the chance to conjure up RAS if so desired. Because most men carry folders a officer simply has to say well I know I'm not supposed to stop "them" just because they are carrying properly holstered side arms but how did I know if the knife was legal or not without a search?

With that way of thinking he could come up take you're ID make sure you're not a felon and have a check run on the serial numbers on your gun to make sure it is leagl.
This actually happened to a group of us in Warren..... It is amazing what some folks with little knowledge of the law and way too much time on their hands can do. Not bashing just stating facts.
You better wear it openly too. It could be a concealed weapon:
MCL 750.227 Concealed weapons; carrying; penalty.Sec. 227.
(1) A person shall not carry a dagger, dirk, stiletto, a double-edged nonfolding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, concealed on or about his or her person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business or on other land possessed by the person.
(2) A person shall not carry a pistol concealed on or about his or her person, or, whether concealed or otherwise, in a vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person, without a license to carry the pistol as provided by law and if licensed, shall not carry the pistol in a place or manner inconsistent with any restrictions upon such license.
(3) A person who violates this section is guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $2,500.00.
According to my copy of Michigan Criminal Law and Procedure, page 125,
1. A "Dirk" is a straight knife with a pointed blade
2. A "Dagger" is a knife with a short-pointed blade
3. A "Stiletto" is a small dagger with a slender, tapering blade.
All of these are dangerous weapons "per se", which means by definition, they are a dangerous weapon and no intent to cause physical harm or injury is needed. Other instruments are dangerous if a jury decides they are, based upon the intent it was carried. If they are in a vehicle, they must be carried in a container inaccessible to the driver or any passengers.
So, make sure that you carry these items openly and remember too, that if you are in a vehicle, they must be carried in a container inaccessible to the driver or any passengers.
