There are no laws against a minor carrying a knife, but any persons carrying this knife concealed may not have ab lade longer than three inches.

First of all, there are no minor-specific knife laws in Nevada that I’m aware of. This is true of most states whose laws I’m familiar with. Here is what I do know about Nevada state law concerning knives:
Nevada law doesn’t have a lot provisions regulating what kind of knife you can use and when and how you can use it. That said, they are not casual about the laws they do have—expect to be prosecuted if you break them.
Generally speaking, you can carry almost any knife, concealed or not. There are four main exceptions to that rule:
In Clark County, unless you have a sheriff’s permission, it is illegal to carry a knife 3 inches long or longer concealed.
Don’t carry a concealed dirk (punch dagger), double-edged blade, or machete without a local sheriff’s permit.
Don’t carry dirks, daggers, or switchblades at schools, state universities, or childcare facilities, unless the childcare facility is in your home. If you’re a cop, carry all the switchblades you like, anywhere you like.
To be considered a switchblade, the blade has to be two inches long or longer.
It is my private opinion that if you’re pulling a knife and the situation isn’t life or death, you have impulse control problems and shouldn’t carry a knife at all; I don’t want my hobby’s reputation any more tarnished than people with anger issues have already tarnished it. If you can’t keep your temper, don’t carry a knife. The State of Nevada has this to say on the subject:
Don’t pull a knife on anyone “in a rude and threatening manner.”
Don’t brandish a knife “in a rude or threatening manner,” either. In both cases, the DA has to prove that you were rude or threatening.
For whatever reason, a and b only apply if you did either in front of two or more people. Again, I don’t recommend pulling a knife on anyone, but there you go.
Keep in mind, assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, trumps “rude and threatening,” which are misdemeanors.
Keep in mind, these are state laws. Nevada’s local laws (municipal laws) are stricter. Were I you, I’d open carry if there’s any doubt in your mind about whether the knife is illegal, especially in Clark County.
Good luck.
