LEGAL, if you have an explainable "lawful purpose", AND if ever questioned by someone with arrest powers, you can convince them it is legal.

Quoted: What is the law on carrying an OTF knife, like a benchmade auto or something akin to that? If it needs servicing, you have to mail it in. If you are at ShotShow or other trade show that they have reconditioning and engraving booth and they can't complete it, you have to sign their affidavit that you are legal to own, LEO, FD, EMS or a sign Agency letterhead stating you are Department A-OK to own in the non-legal state you may live in when then sent it back. NJ is a fucked up state for NORMAL law-abiding citizens, everyone in the state is a prisoner, and truly don't ever forget that. Having said that even prisoners in a "big house" get or make things. |

2C:39-9 (d) is the statute to be most concerned with. Don't get caught with one in your car, there is no "explainable lawful purpose" exemption that allows you to "transport" one, that only covers "possession". Even walking somewhere with one in your pocket could be considered "transporting".
If you own multiple knives and keep them in a safe or on display in your home being a "collector" should fall within the "explainable lawful purpose" exemption to possess them. |

I think you'd need a valid hunting or fishing license and be on the way to use the knife for it to be considered kosher. As a retired NJ officer that is what we were taught.
