No

If anyone knows WTF the OP went please PM me.

The 4 inch length limit is a myth. The only mention of length limit in 2C is you can't sell a knife over 10 in to any one under 18. It's the explainable part that matters

This feels like a memorial thread, now that mipafox is no longer with us.

Can anyone else verify that this is true, that all knives are illegal to carry in Philly?

The state is OK in most cases while Philadelphia is extremely restrictive.

§ 10-820.  Cutting Weapons in Public Places.

(1) Definition.
Cutting Weapon. Any knife or other cutting instrument which can be used as a weapon that has a cutting edge similar to that of a knife. No tool or instrument commonly or ordinarily used in a trade, profession or calling shall be considered a cutting weapon while actually being used in the active exercise of that trade, profession or calling.

(2) Prohibited Conduct. No person shall use or possess any cutting weapon upon the public streets or upon any public property at any time.
    (a)  Exception:  This restriction shall not apply to the use and possession of cutting tools by emergency personnel of the Philadelphia Fire Department, whether on or off duty.

(3) Penalty. The penalty for violation of this Section shall be a fine of not less than three hundred (300) dollars and imprisonment of not less than ninety days.

As a person that has worked in Philly daily for 10yrs, this law is almost completely unenforced. I have even handed my knife to LEO to hold so I can go through a metal detector and return soon after.
Now this does not mean if used defensively it would not cause a problem. Better to be judged...

A knife is a Tool.

Like a hammer or a screwdriver.

Any of them can be used to cause another, personal injury. NOW you used this tool as a weapon.

You have a whole new situation to deal with.

Twat waffles in NYC and Phillthy will strip you of every liberty they can and turds like Trenton want to grow up and be just like them!

 

So flying out of PHL with a multi-tool in your checked bag is a felony.
