I am trying to find the rcws on knives and all the legal gargon that goes with it. If anyone has a link to it please let me know. I have tried the search on packing.org and the state information page and came up with nothing of any use on this issue. Please help me. Thanks.

My wife and kids are in Spanaway(Tacoma) but I'm currently at a "deployed location" I can give you a hint,... I'm looking at someone now wearing a brown and tan uniform.

While the statute doesn't define "dagger", you should be aware that the rule of thumb is that any double edged knife is a "dagger". Of course, in my experience, cops don't make an issue of it unless they're looking for a reason to hassle someone- if you look and act like a regular citizen they probably won't care.

Don’t forget there is no preemption law on knives like there is guns. You need to look at local laws as well.
