Oddly, I’ve had a Connecticut carry permit for over 35 years but I still can’t carry a knife with a blade longer than 4” or a switchblade with a blade longer than about 1”
Basically, I can’t carry a common kitchen knife but a .454 casual? No problem
And yes, a permit is when the government steals your inherent rights and rents them back to you.

I’ve had a WCL in Georgia for near 30 years. It’s a Weapons Carry License. That includes knives.
