Come to Scotland, we do regulate kitchen knives in the same way as we regulate knives designed as weapons.
It's actually quite challenging to find a decent pocket knife that's legal to carry here: if the blade locks in place, it's not legal. So pretty much any Leatherman or Gerber that's not one of the mini ones is out, and all the cheaper brands are the same. I've taken to carrying a Geekey[1] and a knock-off Raptor[2].

- TremendousJudge 4y agoWhat's wrong with Victorinox?
- andrewaylett 4y agoNothing, I carried one from age 10. Victorinox split their pocket knives into three categories: small, medium, and large. Only the large are comparable in size to multitools, and they all seem to have locking blades. I'm actually pondering getting a basic medium-size pocket knife though, to complement what I'm carrying at the moment. Thank you for reminding me :).
