I have a Benchmade CBK Push Dagger http://www.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/bnchmd/images/175BT.jpg That I would like to carry concealed, but because of its double blade it is illegal in Oregon to do so. Question: If I ground down one side so that it could not cut (false edge) would that be acceptable? What defines an "edge" in the ORS? 2.)

Let's see...what's that called again....a push DAGGER.... And if you grind an edge off you'd have....a single edged push DAGGER.... Fortunately my access to the Oregon State Bar's website works from home and, thanks to Casemaker I can pull this up: 166.240 Carrying of concealed weapons. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who carries concealed upon the person any knife having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force, any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor. "Emphasis added," as we like to say in the profession. So. It would seem to me that "any dagger" would, quite expectedly, include a single-edged one. That said, I don't offer actual legal advice online - and YMMV when it comes to convincing the nice police officer you're having the conversation with that 166.240 doesn't apply. You might take a swipe at trying to link "any" only with "dirk," but...
