- tialaramex 3y agoAnd indeed in England most knives require that you have a specific lawful purpose to carry them. "Self defence" isn't a lawful purpose. The small folding knives on some utility tools are exempt but that's all. All weapons are illegal. Purpose made, improvised, even just I picked up a glass and threatened people with it, that's a weapon and it's illegal to have weapons.
