- ehvatum 6y agoUK, I imagine.
- agurk 6y agoPenknives are allowed to be carried without needing a justification in the UK. > It’s illegal to [...] carry a knife in public without good reason, unless it has a folding blade with a cutting edge 3 inches long or less [0] It also cannot be locking to not need a good reason to carry it. This is set in case law not the text of the relevant laws (and could could also probably be overturned if anyone had the time, money and inclination to challenge it).

- nicoburns 6y agoI believe it's legal to carry a pocket knife in the UK. Just not one with a lockable blade.
- irrational 6y agoWell, there go the majority of my knives (if I lived in the UK). Even my LeatherMan has a locking blade.
- askvictor 6y agoParts of Australia.
- kryptiskt 6y agoSweden
- gumby 6y agoAustralia more than 2.5 cm pretty much anywhere built up. New York City.
- irrational 6y agoSo a leatherman would be illegal in Australia? Wait, I always associate large knives with Crocodile Dundee. I know it is a fictional character, but he wouldn't have quite the same effect saying "That's not a knife, this is a knife." and pulls out a knife with 2.5 cm blade.
