Cali goes by counties and it depends on population of the county...I think if it is over 300,000, it's a guaranteed no. But it is subjective too. Cali is not a Shall Issue State.
But you can carry a sword if you want. As long as it is 100% visible (handle can't even be slightly under a shirt or jacket) and in a sheath. If you carry a folding blade knife, the blade has to "snap" back to its resting position on it's own. And switchblades of 1.9" or shorter in length are allowed too.
