Looking for a EDC knife, wanting one that will be legal, but on the large side. Knife laws are pretty hard to narrow down, but I think if I stick to under a 6 inch blade, not double edged, and not a bowie I should be ok in most places. It will be concealed, just like my sidearm, and I figure even if I have contact with a LEO (like a traffic stop) I have to tell him I have a gun, but not that I have a knife right? Not looking for trouble or to hide anything, but why volunteer info right? Besides from what I have seen officers are almost as unclear on what is a legal knife as I am....
Here is what I am considering...

Blade Length: 5 1/2"
Overall Length: 9 7/8"
Steel: Japanese AUS 8A Stainless
Weight:4.4 oz
Blade Thickness: 1/8"
I have found these as cheap as $30. The reviews I have read say they are built like tanks, hold an edge pretty well, and for that money, it'd hard to beat. Any opinions? or know any place where that knife would get me in trouble?
