Thanks OS , I've got a Marlin 336 Stainless in 30-30 (never makes it out of the safe) A Mosin (For cheap plinking out in PA) as well as a few others... Those listed in my Sig just occupy MOST of my range time. I can't really afford to get into the long range game right now , Good Glass costs more than my entire AR setup!

Is this knife legal in NJ?
The BLUR is a great blade, I had a Black BLUR that I "gifted" to someone that needed it more than I did. The thing with knives in Jersey is this, "explainable lawful purpose" NJSA 2C:39-3 NJ Statutes are written in a way that are purposely vague , "explainable lawful purpose" can be confusing because "lawful purpose" isn't defined It basically gives the officer some leeway and discretion in how he wants to deal with you (and also makes it easier to be arrested if you or the officer are being a douchebag on that particular day) , this is bad because you can carry the same knife and give the same reply as to its use to 2 different officers, and you can get different outcomes based on the officer you're dealing with. I will say this, "self defense" is not a "lawful purpose" in NJ. I carry a knife daily , but to me it's not a "weapon" it's a "tool". What other things do you do with this knife besides carrying it for protection? I can think of several , I'm sure you can too. Those other reasons for carry should put you under "lawful purpose". It also helps that your blade isn't black and tacticool. Some people will do the "4 fingers rule" and lay a blade across their hand and if it is smaller than the width of their hand , they'll tell you its "legal" This is a fallacy , there is no "hand width rule" in any statute in NJ. YMMV

Speaking of Knives...
Actually , LEO's have been allowed TASERS here now for 2 years. You didn't hear about them because the guidelines as to their use was so restrictive & prohibitive , most departments decided not to add them to their use of force toolbox. These guidelines have since been loosened , so you will slowly start to see more departments begin training and issuing them. As far as the OP's topic is concerned , "self defense" is not a lawful purpose to have a knife in our state far be it from us to have any means of self defense against savagery. I do have an EDC knife , I use it to cut an occasional apple or sandwich at lunch , or open packages etc... I've carried a knife my entire life , it's a tool. If I needed that particular tool to aid in my self defense at some point in my life , I'm sure it will be able to handle that task as well.
