Is there a legal length blade law in Marion County ??

[PMPORTER]

Hello all, I can not find the answer on the interweb. Is there a maximum blade length for a fixed blade knife that can be carried in Marion County ? I find the state laws, but can not find any about length in Marion County. Just purchased a Jeff White English drop point and was wanting to use it for work, but will stop off at places to and from and want to be sure it's ok to wear on my belt. Any info would be awesome, thanks guys !
