Are there any specifications for butterfly knives in Alabama?

I recently purchased two butterfly knives online. I know that it is legal to posses and carry if not concealed, but are there any length specifications in Alabama? And if so, what are they?|||There is no length specified in Alabama law. You are correct in that you can open carry a butterfly knife, but be warned that it is a "gravity knife" and therefore classified automatically as a Deadly Weapon. If for some reason you use it in the commission of a crime you have the enhancement and using it on school grounds is a Class C Felony. You also need to check you school rule book, as there could be rules governing knives that if broken can get you suspended. It's not worth the hassle that could come with it.
