SDA has nothing to do with a knife.
Certain lengths (which I am not sure of) are illegal. Other then that there is little said on blades.
No length limit from state law but various towns might have a limit. No bowies, dirks or daggers. The law is vague enough that you can never be sure. Carry at your own risk.

I carry a Tops ferret or Boker gnome fixed blade most of the time.

Oklahoma has no restrictions on length, they have restrictions by "type". I carry a fixed blade whenever I can, but just like a firearm there's some pretty harsh penalties for a knife on school property.
