In fact, one of the most famous and recognizable knives of all time, the 119 Speical, dates back to WWII.

Citizens can carry any folding blade knife, but a fixed blade, such as a dagger or dirk, must be open-carry in a sheath at the waist. This law does not permit knives disguised as other objects. Automatic knives that exceed 2 inches in length are not permissible in any location open to the public, including in vehicles.
Why are Buck Knives so good?
One of the strongest folding knives I’ve ever used. Everything about this knife is designed for the maximum in sharpness and ease of cutting. The knife steel is 420HC, a steel which doesn’t always get its due in my opinion. It’s easy to sharpen to a razor edge, and is a very good steel choice for a knife like this.
