    Guessing is always a bad idea when the consequences for being wrong are serious.

    Yeah I have a buddy that carries and Infidel but only on base. He was with me when APD confiscated my Switchblade so he don't carry one.
    PS that was like 5 or 6 years ago so I've learned my lesson about carrying knives that I'm not suppose to.

    Since there is no definition of those terms in the law, one must turn to the standard dictionary term;

    1an·tique
    Pronunciation: \(ˌ)an-ˈtēk\
    Function: noun
    Date: 1530
    1 : a relic or object of ancient times
    2 a : a work of art, piece of furniture
    2.gif
    , or decorative object made at an earlier period and according to various customs laws at least 100 years ago b : a manufactured product (as an automobile) from an earlier period

    : cu·rio
    Pronunciation: \ˈkyu̇r-ē-ˌō\
    Function: noun
    Inflected Form(s): plural cu·ri·os
    Etymology: short for curiosity
    Date: 1849
    : something (as a decorative object) considered novel, rare, or bizarre : curiosity; also : an unusual or bizarre person

    That means nothing to it being illegal for YOU to possess a switchblade.

    Only those under 5 and 1/2 inches. Texas law prohibits ALL knives OVER 5 and 1/2 inches. I see a loophole.
    The law ptohibits the carry of a knife OVER 5.5" for carry only. If you are going hunting/camping, etc. the large knives are OK.
