I'm an outdoors guy look'n to buy a knife, but I'm not sure what the vague maryland law means and websites have not been good at answering them... What types of knives can you legally concel in your pocket in maryland?

Simply ASK your Local Law Enforcement Agency and then ask them for the State Statute governing Knives!
Thanks, RR

Legal... The law is so vague, it could never be enforced. Its not a matter of the knife you carry, it is where you go with it. * Summary: "Penknives" are OK. Anything else is borderline illegal and may require a concealed weapon permit. * Max length: None apparent. * Relevant laws: MD Statues Crimes and Punishments § 36, § 36A-O * Quirks: You may carry a "weapon as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger", but it's up to a tribunal to decide the reasonableness/appropriateness of posession. * Local restrictions: o Cecil, Anne Arundel, Talbot, Harford, Caroline, Prince George's, Montgomery, St. Mary's, Washington, Worcester, Kent, and Baltimore Counties have special prohibitions regarding children under 18 carrying knives. See § 36(a)(3).

Concealed knives must have a blade no longer than your middle finger. A sheath knife can be any length shorter than your fore arm.
