| My wife and I will be visiting Roswell at the end of May and I am wondering on the knife laws. I have a CCW permit and am a state probation officer licensed to carry also. I have looked up New Mexico knife laws online and they are very confusing to me. Is a manual opening Benchmade with a pocket clip illegal, what about a three inch straight blade knife in a belt sheath. Thanks for all your help. |

I’m not sure of the knife laws here & I’ve lived here most of my adult life. I know “automatic” knives are supposedly illegal, but are sold in almost every LGS & at all gun shows I’ve been to. I’ve seen cowboys in my area carry big fixed blade knife’s on their belts & no one bats an eye. I’ve had a few interactions with PD (traffic stops) & they’ve never once asked me about knifes in my pocket or on my belt. I don’t think it’s a big deal here despite what the law is. I think we have a few officers on here, will they chime in on this thread? Let’s hope. |

| I've lived here almost all of my life and have never heard of anyone getting any sort of knife charge. I edc a Kershaw 1550 assisted open and never give it a second thought. Of course, places such as airports and concert venues won't allow them, so I have to leave it in the truck. |
