and gravity knives are
banned
from being carried concealed. Dirks, Bowies, switchblades and gravity

most other knives are legal to carry concealed. There are no limits
to how large your pocket knife
can
be in Maryland and, as long as you don’t use it to hurt people, you
should be fine.
Note
that there are also county laws that come into play as well. Look up
the law of your county to get
an
even clearer idea of what is allowed and what is not. This is not
legal advice and there is no clientattorney relationship, therefore
talk to an attorney in your area if you need assistance.

also open carry any knife you
want.
You can conceal carry any box cutter, multi-tool, or 4 inch pocket

other
type of knife can or cannot be considered carrying a concealed weapon
so watch out.
There

as well. Most cities in Florida
have
clearer guidelines on what is legal and illegal than the state law.
