In Texas, it is legal as long as the blade is shorter than 5 and 1/2 inches. As far as patting you down, before I do a pat down, I always ask the person if they have anything on them that will hurt them or me, like guns, knifes needles, etc. All you'd have to do at that point is tell me, "Officer, I've got a knife in a pouch on my belt." I'd take the knife from you until we were finished with whatever it was I was stopping/patting you down for. Once we were done with the business, I'd give the knife back to you...
