Lawful with conditions · read 2026-09-04
North Dakota permits most edged steel, but attaches conditions that catch buyers out. Concealed blades over 5in need a concealed licence.
Concealed carry in North Dakota is capped at 5 inches of blade. A blade over that ceiling carried out of sight is an offence regardless of why it was carried.
Open carry carries no statewide length ceiling in North Dakota. Sheathed, visible and plainly for work or display is the safest posture anywhere in the union.
North Dakota preempts local ordinance. One rule governs the whole province, and a city may not write a stricter one.
