Nebraska/Omaha knife laws I should know about?

I was looking at this site a few months ago....seems like comprehensive info...looks like 3.5" is the magic # on quite a few

Wow....I just read through it better....
Read to where it talks about the nebraska supreme court case from 2000.....apparently even a 1" blade could be considered concealed. I'd fight that & hopefully the Leo would not even go there.
Why do Nebraska laws seem to favor the criminals?

Okay. I'll probably get rid of my 4.4" S&W knife. I can't even get it sharp so it's kind of worthless. I have a friend back in Missouri who's a knife collector, I'm sure he'll take it off my hands. Not worth risking legal trouble over a crappy knife.
Is the 3.5" rule inclusive or exclusive? My EDC knife is 3.5" (never was a concern before because the limit is 4" in MO). Would it be worth grinding an 1/8th inch or so off just to be on the safe side?

I think the operative phrase in the law is "concealed" and "on your person".

I will tell you one thing I've learned from a few friends that are cops. It's not a law, but a good way of phrasing things. First, I've yet to meet a cop who has a problem with you having a basic knife on you as long as you're not a scum bag. All the same. Never say it's for self defense. It's always a tool. Which is accurate. I keep a knife on me whenever possible. I've used it hundreds of times, cutting open packages and the like. I've never once used it in self defense.
