Steve is right, there is no limit,.. but it all hinges on the reason that its being carried... if a knife is carried for no other reason that you want a blade, then it has to be a folding blade of no more than 3 inches [ I think ]
If you are camping for instance, then you can carry a fixed blade in a scabbard, but would be required to remove it and pack it away before you enter the pub
A butcher for instance could [ and they often do ] carry a whole set of fixed blade knifes, but he has to be going to, or from his work
The same goes for any blade, knife, axe or machete
So,.. its all down to the reason you give and the mood of the officer that stops you

A major part of survival is invisibility.
