The US Constitution follows a principal known as Federalism. For that reason, governmental powers within the US are split into three different levels: federal, state, and local. Each area of government can (and do) enact their own layer of knife laws. Therefore, one must be knowledgeable of federal, state, and local knife laws in the jurisdiction(s) he/she resides and travels within to be sure he/she is not breaking a law.
