Not sure.  Texas penal code 46.02 prohibits the carrying of prohibited weapons unless in your own premises or en-route to your own vehicle or watercraft.  You can own them, make them, sell them apparently, but can't carry em.  46.01(6) defines an illegal knife as a blade over 5 1/2 inches, something designed to cut or stab by being thrown, a dagger, a bowie knife, a sword, and a spear amongst other things.  

It seems to be called out by name specifically, no idea why.  May have something to do with being pointy, or having two edges sharp?

A switchblade knife however, that does not meet definitions of other prohibited weapons, is a-ok it seems.

Thanks.  I do wonder if it will ever get used without the belt loop but it still has benefits ifnthe owner chooses...

I like everything about that set-up @Rossr. I'm usually not a fan of antler handles due to lack of ambidexterity but one cannot argue with the overall aesthetic of that knife and its pants. Beautiful all the way around.

Thanks battlemunky.  I appreciate the nice thoughts.

Rossr,  I like all your knives but have to say the is one of your top knife designs. A lot of the Bowie's that i see are not balanced, ( at least to my eye) to big in the blade and to small in the handle. This one is well balanced with both blade and enough handle for a great grip wet or dry. nicely done.
