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.

Where can you get switchblades in Massachusetts?
No. In Massachusetts, it is illegal to carry a switch blade or gravity knives (such as a butterfly knife) it is 100% legal to own them however. You can also carry knives if your a minor. Also there is no size limit, whether the knife is on your person or at home. But as clarification, a switchblade is a knife that has its blade that expends out of the front or side of the handle by pressing a button or lever. You have to be touching the blade itself to fling it open, even if it is spring assisted. So basically here is a quick rundown. Anyone with no serious criminal record can carry ANY knife on there person as long as you have to touch the metal part of the blade to open it. Cheers.
