My LTC-A is restricted. I carry a cheap knife in my pocket now, but are there other options? It need to be concealed, but easy to get to. I am not looking to spend a lot of cash either.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Concealed Knife Carry Help?

I bought a knife from GOAL not too long ago. It's bigger than usual, but still clips into my pocket just fine.

you can find these on ebay for cheaper than MSRP...looks a little goofy but the hook up top catches your pants pocket as you draw the knife with your normal motion and opens the knife up...very fast very smooth transition with a little bit of practice

I like that! Found one online for $45, good price?
That is a weird look! I am looking at some of their stuff now.
You could also look into Emerson Knives, which originally designed the "wave" feature. http://www.emersonknives.com/
Those look great but DAMN! Big $$$$

I carry a Kershaw Storm II (half-serrated), clipped on the inside of the waistband of my jeans. All that can be seen is the belt clip, which is under the belt. To conceal it even better, I have my MiniMag flashlight sheath positioned right over the clip.
IMHO it's a great knife. It's thin but not tough to grip.

When LEOs tell you stuff like this, ask politely for a citation to MGLs. That way you can verify whether it's true or BS (BS in this case).
Thanks everyone, trying to make a choice right now. Some great suggestions.
While strider makes a strong knife. The owners are tools. There a better people to give your money to
Having dealt with Mick and Dwayne quite a bit; I'll agree to disagree.

Yeah LenS exactly on point, Please read MGL 269-10(b). This statute is commonly throughout Mass. It can be either a Felony (hence LTC status) or misdemeanor. Pay attention to the wording on "daggers." Also, almost cities and towns have a municipal ordinance prohibiting the carrying of knife in excess of 2.5 inches.

MGL related to knives>>>
(b) Whoever, except as provided by law, carries on his person, or carries on his person or under his control in a vehicle, any stiletto, dagger or a device or case which enables a knife with a locking blade to be drawn at a locked position, any ballistic knife, or any knife with a detachable blade capable of being propelled by any mechanism, dirk knife, any knife having a double-edged blade, or a switch knife, or any knife having an automatic spring release device by which the blade is released from the handle, having a blade of over one and one-half inches...
So if I have a 3.25" folding/locking knife, I am ok to state law yes? Non-dagger.
I have a kershaw tanto blur, really nice knife for the money. I won't carry it if it is going to get me in trouble.

The only length limit, on a state level, is 1.5" for daggers and autos.
Worcester and Boston, and maybe some more cities/towns, have their own ordinances (with civil penalties) regarding blade length.
