Qeustion about interpertation of this law?

I was wondering about this Nevada law. It says it is illegal to carry “concealed on one’s person any dirk, dagger, etc.” It specifacally says concealed. So would it be legal to carry a knife open and exposed? I know that Nevada is an open carry state with firearms meaning you don’t have to have a license to carry a firearm as long as you carry it on the outside of clothing where it can be seen. So would the same apply to a fixed-blade knife?
