Arkansas has no limit on the length of a pocket knife. The law was repealed.
09-FEB-2007 -- The Arkansas legislature has repealed Sec. 5-73-121 of the Arkansas Code pertaining to the offense of carrying a knife as a weapon. Prior to its repeal, Sec. 5-73-121 had imposed a three and a half inch blade length limit on knife carry, and knives carried with blades over the specified length were presumed to be weapons under the statute.
With the repeal of Sec. 5-71-121, implemented as Act 83 of 2007, Arkansas no longer has a statutory blade length limit for knife carry.

What size knife is legal to carry in Massachusetts?
There seems to be a great deal of confusion on the subject. Many believe it to be no longer than 3" while others are still saying 5-6". The statutes on the laws themselves seem only to touch on it very vaguely, mostly saying about criminal use or intent. Realistically outside of the federal laws in place where you cant take them on school, or federal property, or airlines.. You shouldn't have any problem defending a claim against you for any size knife that isn't a switchblade. Also they cant stop you for a knife if its not of obvious intent that your going to be using it for illegal activity. I asked a police friend of mine what the laws are for concealed knife carrying in Minnesota and he informed he that 5 inches is the legal limit for a concealed knife.
