Knife law in Massachusetts?

January 24th, 2010

What are the laws regarding the carrying of a pocket knife when not committing any other crime?
I’d like to know about blade length, concealment, and age requirements.
I think i found the ‘official law’ online here:

From the long paragraph i thought it said a normal folding locking pocket knife (no assisted opening) could not have a blade longer than 1.5 inches. Did i understand this correctly, and if so do police enforce this, because i don’t know many knives that short.
