you can own and use longer knives
Probably not a kitchen anywhere in the state that doesn't have knives longer than 5.5". CARRYING the knife on your person while attacting the attention of law enforcement is where it can get tricky.
I am assuming that if you look like you are up to no good and you have a long knife, then that would be cause to haul you in. If you are headed to the lake for some fishing and have a long fillet knife I don't think it would be a problem.
