I 'm pretty sure fixed blade carry in NC is a no no, but what about SC? I work in SC and cannot find anything specifically outlawing it.
I have been looking at one of those small ka bar tdi's and kinda want one. Are there any leo's on here who can chime in on this? Also wondering what the penalty would be if caught carrying one in NC? Thanks guys |

I am pretty sure that concealing a fixed blade of any length in NC is against the law. You can open carry one. The NC laws state that you can conceal an ordinary folding pocket knife.
I am not sure about SC. ETA - I'm not a LEO, just a guy that read the General Statutes. link to NC GC's From the top of page 10 A. Carrying Concealed Weapons North Carolina law strictly controls the ability of individuals to carry weapons concealed. Except under the limited concealed handgun permit provisions of state law, described in Sections III. B and III. C of this publication, it is unlawful for any person in North Carolina, except when on his or her own premises, to willfully and intentionally carry concealed, either on or about his or her person, any "Bowie Knife, dirk, dagger, slingshot, loaded cane, metallic knuckles, razor, shurikin, stungun, or other deadly weapon of like kind.” Specifically exempted from the requirements of this law are ordinary pocket knives carried in a closed position. An ordinary pocket knife is defined as being "a small knife, that is designed to be carried in a pocket or purse, which has its cutting edge and point entirely enclosed by its handle. The knife must not be capable of being opened by a throwing, explosive, or spring action." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-269 |
