KnifeUp provides free knife law guides for all 50 states. Click on the state you are interested in to read about its knife laws. I try to keep these guides as up-to-date and accurate as possible but laws do change so please leave a comment if you see something wrong☠️🇺🇸

For knife laws, the only federal law is the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 as well as the 2009 amendment to the act (see 15 U.S.C. 1244). The federal knife law primarily applies to individuals who are traveling between states or internationally. However, if you reside in a federal district (see Washington D.C. knife laws), the federal law does govern knives for you. If you live in one of the 50 states, the federal law would only apply to you if you are traveling from one state to another or if you are entering federal property, such as a military base☠️🇺🇸

All states have knife laws but some knife laws by state are more up-to-date than others and local municipalities often pass their own knife laws as well. For example, if you live in Denver, Colorado, you must abide by the knife laws of Colorado as well as the knife laws of Denver. However, if you travel to Boulder, Colorado (30 minutes away) you must conform to the knife laws of Boulder, instead of Denver, in addition to Colorado’s. And, during your journey, you must conform to the knife laws of all the municipals in between Boulder and Denver☠️🇺🇸

This makes knife laws by state a tricky subject unless your state has a preemption clause. Preemption means that the state government nullifies all knife laws made by cities and counties. Therefore, when you travel from town to town, you would not have to worry about municipal knife law☠️🇺🇸
