Carrying a concealed filet knife in Colorado
<p>Webpages like <a href="https://knifeup.com/colorado-knife-law/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Colorado Knife Law</a> and others list Colorado law pertaining to concealed knives as such:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>These knives are illegal to carry concealed:</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>All knives less than 3.5 inches are legal.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>All fishing and hunting knives of any length are legal.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>All knives over 3.5 inches are illegal.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, can I carry a concealed 6 inch filet knife in Colorado?
Any help would be appreciated.</p>

It's a fishing knife. But you might get a ticket or even arrested. The fact that it's a fishing knife is an affirmative defense. </p>
