That is all confusing as hell. It seems by Oklahoma law, the only time you can really carry a knife is hunting, fishing or working? Am I missing something? Legal jargon confuses me.

Only the types of knives mentioned are restricted: dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife, switchblade knife, sword cane, knife having a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife.

Most pocket knives and fixed blades don't fit in those categories..."Spring type" was recently removed to clear those knives that have spring assist opening....without a button on the handle.

Ok, got it. Button on the handle equals bad

If you get jammed up for an auto knife you're either really unlucky or you really know how to piss the cops off.

Yep, you can CCW a Glock 17 with 18 rounds but a button on a knife is bad. Pretty dumb.

Switchblades are legal to own, illegal to carry for regular people. Never made any sense to me.
