Van, Alaska doesn't allow 'automatic knives,' but other than that, carrying a knife outside of Anchorage seems to be solidly covered under this section, unless the knife is proven to be used in the commission of a crime:
Quote:
(b) In a prosecution under (a)(1) of this section, it is an
affirmative defense that the defendant was... (1) in the
defendant's dwelling... (2) actually engaged in hunting,
fishing, trapping, or other lawful outdoor activity that
necessarily involves the carrying of a weapon for personal
protection.
Outside of Anchorage, I have seen guys walking around with belted sheath knives whose lengths went clear down to the knee, with a gun in a chest holster or carried on the opposite hip, in broad daylight, in smaller towns. Nobody bats an eye.
