what is the length of the blade? I want to carry the knife concealed, & I was told the blade has to be shorter than the length of my driver's license.

The blade is capable of being concealed. It is about the same size as the standard drivers license.

at the moment I'm carrying my Benchmade, but the Kershaw is an excellent knife. the blade length would be really close to the length of youe ID. It is slim enough to carry concealed though.

3 1/2". If you in California under 4" should be OK. I do not know how much they sale this knife these day, IMHO it is not worth the price that I paid for. Plastic handle, Thumb screw that will cut you. cheaply made (even in US).

None of my knives are that long, but measuring from the back to the front, it's about 16.5 inches long so your knife would probably fit without issue.

The short answer is it's a BIG knife. I have been meaning to actually measure it for you, but I can't seem to remember when I'm home. My apologies. The handle is about 3-4 inches long as it fits well in my hand and I have tiny hands. I would estimate that the blade is about twice that from hilt to tip, so 7-8 inches.

The other answers below are blatantly incorrect. I don't even know how they came up with them.small blade: 2"large blade: 2.5"both blades extended: 8"both blades closed: 3.75"dimensions of the knife (closed): 1" x .5" x 3.75"I carry it in my pocket at all times for last 3 years. Great knife.

I don't remember exactly, it was too small for my taste, I'm more of a right on the boundaries of what's legal to carry in public, blade length wise. But I think it was like 2 or 2 1/2 inches. It just felt like a key chain knife in my hands, so I sent it back. It was even awkward to flip out the blade with the thumb knob there was so little handle to hold on to. Gerber is a really high quality blade company though, there is another pocket knife that looks kinda like that which is also made by Gerber on Amazon that I ended up getting and has a longer blade and handle that I carry everywhere it's a great durable knife.

Little over 2 inches long on blade. Sheath is not very good. I would buy an aftermarket one.

The overall length if blade and handle is no more than 10-12 inches... It is a very good blade!! I am very pleased with mine..

Nothing unless your state allows 11" concealed blades. But most states do not as its a safety.

I'm not an attorney but my understanding is that the size of the the knife is what makes a knife illegal. I was told that a 5 inch blade or longer is illegal and volt knife is ok to carry because it's under 5 inches. I guess the best way to tell is to ask at a police station.

Candice, the blade is 3.25 inches. While you are ordering one, get an extra one for me and send it my way.

About 6" I'm happy with the knife, good quality and feel. Keep in mind this is a personal blade, not a commercial steel 'everyone has one' item. The commercial steel blades might be as good or Cold Steel perhaps even better but I'm guessing if you are looking at this you want something different.

It is 4" closed. If does make a distinct print on the outside of the pocket. I carry it in my pocket, but it is larger enough to carry in a case in the belt. I LOVE this knife, and I carry it in my pants pocket. BUT, I do not carry it when I'm wearing slacks, it will quickly wearout the pocket material of anything but dungarees, (denim)or thicker trail/hiking pants. It is large enough and solid to do serious work on the farm/ranch, and small enough to keep in the pocket.

Handle length is actually about 3.6 inches, and the actual blade length is 7". The blade has about a half inch that has absolutely no edge before it even reaches the finger guard. But the overall measurement includes not just the blade and grip, but also the finger guard, and the butt of the hilt of the knife's grip. The bottom end of the handle, isn't treated as a part of the grip. The widened part at the bottom of the hilt isn't meant to grip. But that part alone, is about an inch by itself.

About two and a half feet I believe. It was a gift so I don't have it with me now. It was a good size blade with a substantial grip and overall was a good value for the price. I think you would like it very much if you could see it in person.

the blade is 14 inches, the overall length is a little less than 19.5 inches (approx.)

Please check your local ordinances for the laws concerning this knife. The blade is 3.3 inches. It is recommended that even if a knife is legal in your local, that if it is confiscated by local authorities, that you get a receipt for the knife in case it is lost in evidence.
