    I think if you are wearing something on your belt, it is considered open carry and length shouldn't be an issue.

    This is a huge topic on blade forums all the time. I've questioned the CO knife law question several times and I'm still not entirely sure I understand the wording. I EDC a fixed blade concealed that's under 3.5" but I'm sure that may it questionable by a LEO if found. I hope someone on here can put to rest these questions. At least in some other states there's no question because carrying a concealed knife is illegal period. Let's see what the herd comes up with.

    Length-It all depends if it's being carried for sport-camping or hunting. Usually not questioned. But everyday carry ? That's where it can be confusing.

    Colorado CCW regulations specifically mention handgun. So there's no interpretation at all that says knives are allowed under CCW. And is also why rifles (of any type) cannot be legally concealed even when they can be physically concealed.

    It is no longer CCW in colorado it is CHP (concealed handgun permit), therefore does not cover knives.

    I've heard stories of people carrying swords around (unsheathed).

    Chrisguy, I know, I know. Sorry for not knowing. I've asked around before and no one I've talked to knows for sure.

    Sounds like StagLefty and I are on the same page here (and both left-handed!)... glad I'm not the only one confused by the laws at least!

    Chad and jscwerve: I agree about CHP permits not covering knives, especially after the change from "CCW". Still wondering if this has been tested in court in the last 10 years...

    Again, looking for real legal precedent to get answers. I too think that might be the case, but I'd rather know.

    Keep it coming folks!
