Just thinking about this...the 3 inch blade length limit seems pretty common in those places where there is a blade length limit. Oddly, though, most of the Sghians that I see available on the internet are just over that length...3 and one-quarter or 3 and three-quarters, for example. There's been a lot of chat here about what makes for a nice sghian so why aren't more builders taking that into consideration? It doesn't seem like it would throw the proportions off very much and it would get around that little technicality. This may seem like small potatoes to some of you but I have known guys who have had knives taken away by the cops because they were a quarter-inch over the limit.
