Georgia Pocket Knife Law
-
Blade Limits
-
Generally it is safe to assume that any blade less than 3 and 1/2 inches is legal even if it locks. However, in Atlanta City blade size is limited to three inches and any locking blade-even on a multi-tool-is considered illegal. Butterfly knifes are also illegal across the state.
Mechanisms
-
Any spring-opened blade (switch knife) or blade that can be swung open using gravity or centrifugal force is illegal in Georgia-and for that matter most other states. Again, in Atlanta a blade lock is considered a mechanism therefore any blade that locks is illegal.
Additional Limitations
-
You cannot carry throwing knifes or stars, cleavers--even if less than three inches, or any blade that produces a projectile in Georgia.
