Hunting knife (folding better). You are legally able to justify carrying a hunting knife because you can claim you were carrying with intent to use for a purpose other than self defense.

Legally I can carry a Ka bar Warthog because my job requires me to carry a knife and therefore I am not carrying it with intent to use for self defense (and as army personal I am techiuqly on duty 24 hours a day). This would also apply to jobs like farming or working a place where you would use a knife (freezing works ect).

No matter what happens the cops are required to press charges if there is an incedent where an object has been used as a weapon, however the jugde will usally drop the charge if you were attacked first regardless of "exsessive force".
