Is it legal to cary a Ka-Bar TDI knife in California?

Ka-Bar makes a great "easy deploy" knife for utility and security situations that can be worn in a nifty plastic belt holster. Very much interested in picking one up, but I'm not sure if it would be legal to carry (concealed or outside)...
Is it California legal to carry a fixed blade knife (3'' or shorter) concealed? Worn on the hip?

Answers:
In California the length of the blade is irrelevant. All fixed blade knives are "dirks or daggers," and thus cannot be carried concealed. A knife worn OPENLY suspended from the waist in a sheath is not concealed. (Penal Code section 12020.) However, this is only State law; there may be some local ordinance prohibiting the open carrying of knives.

Concealed ?No. On the belt maybe. Haven't lived in CA for a awhile. Here in OR you can buy all kinds of weird weapons(for the testosterone challenged) OTC.
