Actually, you are not supposed to have it...and they have taken sharp knives out of the kitchens almost completely. My friend in Vista has a cooking knife block she's had for years and the inspectors tried to take it away from her. She fought it, and they only let her keep it because she had 2 weeks left. But, I say bring it. The inspectors don't really spend a lot of time in your apartment, so just hide it for inspections. They CAN look through your things, but they don't usually do this (I don't know of it ever happening without a drug or alcohol issue involved). You will have a locker in your closet, but they are allowed to go through that, too, if they want. But they don't. Unless they have a reason to.
Don't take it to work...SO not allowed, but carry it otherwise as long as it isn't hanging from your belt or anything.
