Things to be considered will be weapon size, type and your record. You should be free and clear with a lawyer. If you had the knife sheathed than the case will be dropped for sure. i had a similar experience and the lawyer laid it out for me. I got the case dropped and the city paid my legal expenses since no law had been broken.

The knife was discovered after they impounded the vehicle. The knife was not displayed or used in a threatening manner towards the officer who stopped you. The knife is not illegal to own. The knife is not illegal to carry. The knife is a viable tool of your hobby that happens to be duck hunting. Honestly, I cannot see this charge going anywhere. However, with that said nobody knows what the mindset of the judge is going to be on the day your case is heard so you definitely need to have a talkative attorney presenting your case. Good luck!
