I believe in Calif, a concealed knife's blade can't be bigger than 3"? i.e. folding EDC. I am curious on the size of a knife one can carry exposed; sheathed on a belt, webbing or lashed to a pack, in the field (Nat, State Parks, BLM etc). Can one lash a machete to the outside of a backpack? Can you wear a "Rambo" survival type knife on your belt? What if one has a "Rambo" in their backpack (B.O.B.), is it considered a concealed weapon? What if the B.O.B. is on the passenger seat of your rig? I'm assuming/hoping there is discretion on behalf of law enforcement, especially in the field, but would like info on what is the "proper protocol" for carrying a large knife or machete.
