## Questions & Answers

**Q: sheath included?**
A: Sheath that comes with the knife is junk.  Search for Matthew’s fabrication- í actually makes this knife way better. I did and would do it again without hesitation - way better.

**Q: Is this knife legal? I live in Pennsylvania and i just ordered it.**
A: Yes. Here is the law in your state.
Conclusion on Pennsylvania Knife Law. It is illegal to own or carry a dagger, sword cane, any automatic knife, or any implement for the infliction of bodily injury, which serves no common lawful purpose. It is legal to open or conceal carry any other type of knife in Pennsylvania.

**Q: Is this knife legal to carry concealed in California?**
A: As of May 2020, yes these are legal to carry in California, and as far as I know, in all counties and jurisdictions (due to its blade length). However, because it is a fixed blade, it meets the definition of dirks and daggers.  Dirks and daggers of any length must be worn sheathed and in open, plain-view. Under no circumstances may this knife be carried concealed in the state of California.

**Q: How does it conceal IWB?  Looks like the handle would stick up funny.  I'm planning on weak side appendix carry.**
A: The handle does stick up funny when I bend over,(which was expected when I bought it) but I don't wear it where I draw across. I wear it towards the back, cause I'm quite slim but it still works out!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by N***N on 26 October 2016*

Very nice! Sheath is strong and holds it well. Size is about right for medium sized hands so if you are a "XL glove" sized person consider the larger version. Blade was sharp but not with a polished edge. Be careful re-inserting in sheath on belt, take your time. Mine CAME WITH A CLIP! You don't need to buy a clip! (Will use the one I bought for extra or perhaps for a different sheath.) The included clip holds very well and has a cut out near the opening of the clip that latches onto the edge of the belt. It took me a minute to figure out how to get the clip off, so it holds very well. The clip I bought along with this is identical. Conceals quite easily. For an off-side backup this is an excellent choice. Clip can be reversed with included tools.
