The problem with that is she's going in and out of customer's offices all day.
I doubt that they'd take to it kindly.
A "penknife" of any size concealed at those moments, but then openly carried open afterwards is perfectly legal as I understand it (I am not a lawyer).
A penknife (folding knife, not a butterfly knife) can be carried concealed in MD, but there is court precedence saying there is no limit on the size of the knife and the "dangerous weapons" statute does not restrict open carry for "lawful" self defense.

If it folds its legal to carry concealed as long as it’s not a switchblade. Doesn't matter how long the blade is. In my opinion butterfly knives are legal to carry concealed in MD. As a useful piece of legal trivia it doesn't matter if it is carried concealed with the blade open. The criteria is it just must be capable of being folded.
The snag is that there's a 1964 court ruling that lists "gravity knives" as dangerous weapons. Butterfly knives/balisongs are often considered such by the uninitiated, even though it's technically incorrect based on most definitions of the term I've seen, but that doesn't preclude an area from making its own definition that does include them. It all gets too close to a "start looking up an expert witness to fly in" thing for my tastes.
