What are the concealed knife carry laws in Sacramento county, California?

Is there a max length for blades in Sacramento, California? From what I am seeing it appears there is no specific max length. I am also seeing that there may be a 3in max length. Information I've found seems to be very contradictory and I'm in no way interested in breaking any laws.

1. Under State law, the only knives upon which there is a general length prohibition is switchblade/butterfly knives, which cannot be carried if the blade is 2" or more in length. Pen C 653k.) No dirk or dagger, which means a fixed blade knife (or folding knife with a blade in a fixed open position) can be carried concealed on the person. (Pen C 12020.) There are some restrictions on knife length in certain specific locations (such as public buildings and schools). Sacramento prohibits LOITERING while in possession of a deadly weapon, which includes a knife with a blade of more than 3" (Sac. City Code 9.32.010 9.32.010), but this is not a general prohibition upon possession.
