    For NYC it must be under 4 inches, folding blade, and completely concealed on your person. If its cliped to your belt or pocket you technically can be summonsed for it.

    Nyc admin code has legislation against:

    Knife in view of public

    Knife over 4 inches

    Possession of razor less than 21 years old

    And the NYS penal code has laws against:

    Switchblades

    Gravity knives

    Daggers/dirks

    Knuckle knives
