Can you carry a sak in Wisconsin?
on: October 06, 2015, 06:45:25 PM
Hi all,

Looks like I might be heading to Wisconsin for a day trip this weekend so I wanted to know if I can legally carry my Swisschamp or Explorer sak with me.  I usually carry them in my front pocket on a P-7 clip.

Hopefully we have some Wisconsin locals that can let me know.

Thx.

As far as I know, you can carry a SAK anywhere in the US.

That's us mobile.

Every city/town has their own local ordinance. In Milwaukee its three inches or less. Wisconsin in general hads no blade length restrictions. The problem lies in what is considered concealed carry.  Talking with a few cops, as long as you're not committing a crime you don't have to worry. I have never heard of anyone in Wisconsin getting in trouble for a sak

That is what I am worried about while reading their laws.  :)

I don't have a 111mm cheese knife and that is what the sak is for!  LOL

Cops have better things to do than harass a law abiding citizen for carrying a SAK! I carry one everywhere I go and never worry local laws. Its a SAK.

The cheese knife is a good option, but I sold one to a guy in China and it never showed up, I think was confiscated by customs. The locking main blade could be problematic in some places.  :P I have one at home in my knife block in the kitchen and it's perfect for that, even in Wisconsin!  :)

Yeah but in the 505 you can carry a pistol on a holster while carrying a shotgun on your shoulder

Aren't SAKs like universally legal? Of course I mean the slipjoint ones and not newer locking models such as Wenger.

Well they should be, I would hate to imagine the Swiss Guard strutting around the Vatican with Jetsetters.  :facepalm:
