I've searched the threads and found the blade lengths for almost every state.. I've Googled... to no avail..
is there a proper way of measuring blade length?
Knife in question:
Benchmade "Rukus" 610
specs from web site:
Blade Length: 4.25"
Blade Thickness: 0.150"
Overall Length: 10.12"
Closed Length: 5.95"
so.. measuring the belly of the blade, we get the 4.25" ... measuring from the tip to the hilt (body of the knife) we get 4 3/8" .. evidently short enough for Texas 5.50" limitations..
BUT.. upon checking with the local county attorney's office, they claim that the blade length is the full length of the steel that makes up the blade... including the remainder of the blade blank that is inside the knife when the blade is extended..
