Which pocket knife is allowed on school property under the statute?

• A. Pocketknife with blade longer than 3 inches
• B. Pocketknife with less than 3 inches folding blade
• C. Switchblade
• D. Fixed blade knife

Answer: (B)

Knives on school property are restricted, but the statute allows certain small, everyday tools. The option that fits is a pocketknife with a folding blade shorter than three inches. This type qualifies because it is folding and compact, not an automatic switchblade and not a fixed blade. The blade length stays below the threshold that would make it a disallowed weapon. Longer blades, switchblades, or fixed-blade knives do not meet the allowance and would not be permitted.
