Warborn BladesTennessee Knife Laws
Broadly permissive · read 2026-09-04
Tennessee is one of the more permissive provinces in the union for edged steel. Permissive since 2014; schools excepted.
Tennessee sets no statewide blade-length ceiling on concealed carry. That does not mean any blade may be concealed — intent, pattern and place still govern, and a court will read all three.
Open carry carries no statewide length ceiling in Tennessee. Sheathed, visible and plainly for work or display is the safest posture anywhere in the union.
Tennessee preempts local ordinance. One rule governs the whole province, and a city may not write a stricter one.
What Tennessee says, pattern by pattern
Can this house ship steel to Tennessee?
Shipping is possession, not carry — most provinces permit ownership of what they forbid on the street. Warborn Blades ships to buyers of age in the United States and Canada, and the counter refuses a barred road before a card is ever touched.
