VA does not specify an age for possession of fixed blade knives, only selling them. You must be 18 to buy one, but anyone can possess one
A hunting knife and indeed most fixed blade knives fall within VA’s legal prohibition on “dirks” and “bowie knives.” It is illegal to carry such knives concealed, but there are exceptions. It is legal to carry
1) to and from a place of purchase or repair,
2) to and from a place of exhibition, provided it is wrapped up or locked in a box securely
3) on your own property or place of business
Otherwise, it must be carried openly.
Is It Legal For A 15 Year Old To Have A Fishing/hunting Knife?
I can legally buy it in NC, or get it illegally. But would it be illegal for me to have it concealed in public? If it is secured, and I don't use it? Give me details. I live in VA btw
