Currently, it's illegal to carry any knife on the streets, or public property, in Philly, unless you need it for your job, and you're in the performance of your job while you're carrying it. Blade length has nothing to do with anything.

You need a lawyer.

Already went to court and pleaded no contest to weapons devices and public drunkenness, needless to say I'm probably screwed. The folly of my timing it happened Saturday night court was first thing Monday.
