Here in Texas, we have some screwy knife laws.
For example:
“Illegal knife” means a:
(A) knife with a blade over five and one-half inches;
(B) hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by being thrown;
(C) dagger, including but not limited to a dirk, stiletto, and poniard;
(D) bowie knife;
It really gets me that in Texas, the Bowie knife is defined as an ILLEGAL KNIFE.
