1、可以通过x光检测和金属探测器的刀。
2、刃长超过2inches的弹簧刀/折叠刀。
3、隐藏在皮带，拐杖，钢笔内的刀具。

What Knives Are Legal to Carry in CA?
California has a lot of knife laws. Some laws govern what knives you can possess, while others control how you carry them. Not to mention that there are even more laws prohibiting what you can do with a knife. All of these laws make up the body of California’s knife laws.
Unlike other states, California has strict concealed weapon laws for knives. The California legislature classifies knives into 3 different categories:
Knives that can be possessed openly but not concealed
Knives that can be possessed openly or concealed
Knives that are always illegal to possess, either openly or concealed
California courts follow a “substantially concealed” test when determining whether or not a knife is concealed. Under the code, a knife that is worn in a sheath and openly suspended from the waistband is not concealed.
Knives That Can Be Openly Carried But Not Concealed
In California, it is illegal to conceal a “dirk” or “dagger.” A dirk or dagger is a broad term. It means a fixed-blade knife capable of ready use as a stabbing weapon that can inflict great bodily injury or death. When someone is charged with concealing a dirk or dagger, it is up to the jury to decide if the knife fits the definition.
Knives That Can Be Openly Carried or Concealed
California law allows people to conceal or openly carry folding knives, like Swiss Army knives, as long as they are folded and in a closed position. Folding knives may include switchblades, pocket knives, and certain utility knives.
If a folding knife is openly carried in an extended and locked position (ie: if it’s unfolded), then it becomes a dirk or dagger and must be carried in a sheath on the waistband. California allows people to carry folding knives of all sizes, but switchblades must have a blade that is 2 inches or less.
The difference between a switchblade and a folding knife is that a switchblade is usually opened by pushing a button that activates a spring, while a folding knife uses thumb pressure to open.
Knives That Are Always Illegal
California generally prohibits certain weapons, including specific types of knives. In California, you cannot possess:
Air Gauge Knife
Belt Buckle Knife
Lipstick Case Knife
Writing Pen Knife
Undetectable Knife
Shobi-zue
Cane Sword
Ballistic Knife
Switchblade knife with a blade 2 inches or longer
It is also illegal to manufacture or sell any of these types of knives in California.
