In reply to Neville George. So but the Opinel are considered locking knives, except the very small keyring one with no slip ring lock.

I have dozens of knives. A couple legal carry anywhere. I am a camper. Camp anywhere I can put a tent and always carry a Japanese fixed blade powedered steel hand made knives with blade lengths from 4 inch to 5.5 inches. I consider camping a good reason to have a knife, and considering my knives are £500 plus certainly not the type to use them unwisely.

In reply to Gary. How utterly absurd that it even got further than the police just verifying your story, let alone going as far as court. What a waste of time and money. Now wonder the British "justice" system is so clogged up.

I know all too well about knife law due to carrying a locking knife, but luckily I was on my way to work, and being a Carpenter and wood carver I was considered to have reasonable cause to have it with me going to a place of work. I even bought the same knife again to show it is sold as a utility Tool not and not labled as a knife, also the packaging made no reference to it having a locking mechanism. The Judge directed the Jury the find me not guilty and said that they have to ask themselves what would be more acceptable, being in public with a Machete or a small knife.

In reply to Yorkie Longnecker. What do you not believe? All the information provided can be confirmed on the .gov website. You do not have to believe anyone as you can check the law for yourself. no?

I have a problem with non locking knives from when I was badly injured when one folded on me so will not have one, they are dangerous to any user, however, I do carry and Opinel for work and the only one I would select for EDC. The rest are in my bug out bag and are either fixed blade or lock knives.

Would you say a Survival Paracord Bracelet Flint Fire Starter Scraper Compass Wilderness Survival Whistle Adjustable would be seen as an offensive weapon. The reason I ask is a 62 year old gentleman in Scotland was arrested for wearing one on his wrist.

………

Thanks he is in court next week.

In reply to Yorkie Longnecker. Private events can set whatever rules they like. That is nothing to do with the law.

You say these knives are all legal. I have carried a small red camping knife around with me for 45 years, its got several attachments because its a camping knife. The two blades are less than 3 inches. We went to MONSTER TRUCKS in the Midlands on Sunday, they were doing a pat down for all people entering the building, THEY SAID I COULDN’T TAKE THIS PENKNIFE IN WITH ME. I’m 74 years old and I was pissed. Our son had to take it back to the car. The knives that you show look dangerous and qiute franly I don’t believe you.

Using the logic that created the knife laws, and applying it to drunk driving which kills more people than weapons ever will.
All sober drivers should have their cars taken away to prevent car deaths.
