In reply to Gideon Rockwell. You also carry AR15s' and regularly mow down classes of schoolchildren. While we have ridiculous knife laws in the UK, our school shootings are pretty low. Make a joke about that?

In reply to Some knife guy. I can't even buy my husband a swiss army knife for his birthday without giving my life story to Amazon or whoever else decides I need to give up my security and my privacy because of their stupid laws. I then tried to buy a tool for the garden as a compromise. No! Still had to give all my personal details. I refuse to give out my details for the whole world to use as they wish. There must be a law about this. I am a pensioner as is my husband. I wouldn't be paying nearly £100 if I wanted to damage someone, I would just go to my kitchen drawer! These idiots in charge of so called laws and agendas need to get a life and start living in the real world.

In reply to John Williams. The utter idiocy of UK jerks and the laws. As if a ban to complicate peoples lives will save the fact that the vast Ards are born evil, their shit parents all alcoholic and breeding bastards and defraud the system and tax payer and then the innocent carpenter, the innocent person that can't bite and needs a little knife for food must be humiliated or go hungry because the law is one sided and the morons that serve this are the example of stupidity. The police doesn't carry guns and they now refuse tazers and only rape assault threaten harm anyone they want and the corrupted judges themselves support the uniforms corruption. What a joke.....

In reply to Al. No they are not illegal, it is not illegal to own locking blades, it is illegal to carry a locking blade without good reason, what constitutes good reason is a grey area and subjective. What it is true to say is that lock knives are considered to be fixed blades for the purpose of legislation, they are not folding pocket knives and therefore are not legal to carry in public most of the time .

I’m a big fan of pocket knives! I have a few different ones, but the one I use the most is a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian. It’s the perfect size and has a lot of the features I need

I am ex police. The only knife you can carry in a public place without having to explain possessing it, is a folding pocket knife (FPK) with a blade length of 3 inches or less and it must not lock, you must be able to close the blade into the knife without operating a mechanism, just pressure on the back of the blade.
The knife must be metal detectable.
Many other knives can be possessed with good excuse up to a 50cm blade when it becomes a sword and is prohibited in public places.
Circumstances may make an FPK problematic, criminal activity even being in an argument.
A traffic stop will be fine, just be honest about carrying one.
If you get searched for some reason again be honest and I would suggest not carrying on nights out!
