If you watched the video you'd understand, if you have a purpose for carrying the leatherman, you can still legally do so. Who on earth would want to go around carrying one on their hip when out to the shops? It looks somewhat "special". For daily carry like that I have used a victorinox sak for the last 3 decades. I have a Bantam on my car keys but always on my person I carry a Classic SD and despite its diminutive nature it's done everything I've asked of it. I can't say I've ever needed my leatherman when out and about on the street. Equally despite using them for over 2 decades, I can't say I've missed a locking blade either when needing a knife out and about. If you're cutting something with the blunt edge of the knife, you're doing it wrong and if I'm doing anything heavy duty where I know I will want a fixed blade, say out hunting on a permission (rabbit guts do gunk up the folding mechanisms of knives wonderfully) then it's legal for me to bring a nice sharp fixed blade knife.

Point in case, the Leatherman Kick that I've had for over a decade. It's an entry level model that has a blade that technically doesn't lock, but it's very effective in a stabby stabby motion type thing. Would that be legal?

You can have a fixed blade filleting knife whilst fishing. As long as it stays inside the fishing box or rod bag etc when not fishing. Its a knife for a purpose. The law on legal carry is more for if you've gone walking camping etc and you carry a small penknife that's OK. It's not however ideal to go for a drink and carry a penknife because there is absolutely no reason to be carrying one when pubbing and clubbing. If you carry one just say to yourself "will I need my penknife with me?" Use common sense.

I live in the USA. I have carried a pocket knife since about 1991. There are just too many uses for one to not have it handy. The blade size which works best for my uses is about 3 3/8", and 1/2 of the blade is serrated, which works real well for cutting rope. The overall length is "too long" in most communities, according to their ordinances, but I have never been questioned about my tool. It also has a locking blade so that I don't ever have to worry about it closing on my fingers when using it. The fact that this feature is illegal in UK is crazy. It is a safety feature for the person using it.

I think many people do get it and have been brought up that way, me included. I always chuckle when I think back to my time in the Scouts. We'd go on a camp every summer to various places around the UK and usually during our time there the whole troop would end up walking into town. I can picture us now, 30-40 kids 11-16 years old marching into the local market town in our uniforms with 6 and 8 inch Bowies hanging off our belts. Never thought much of it at the time. Not long after I left school, around the age of 17, I got sent on an outward bound course in South Wales. I took a lock knife with me, just a natural thing to do when going out in the wilds. There were another group of kids there from the East End of London and they couldn't believe I was allowed to have a knife on me. I saw it as a tool, they saw it as a weapon. It's about upbringing, environment, education.

I've never carried anything larger. After 4 years of martial arts training I thought of my hands, elbows, feet, and knees as weapons, but only for defense. Even after that training I never thought of my pocket knife as a weapon. I did train with a bow staff, so if there is a broom handle around, THAT is a weapon, ironically. Still though, only for defense. Even the handgun I carry, I never think of it as an offensive weapon. Only defense, which I hope I will never have to use.

You missed the point. Anyone of age can carry non-locking knives under 3” without needing a reason. You can carry the buck knife or pretty much anything else provided that you have a good reason for doing so. You can carry a machete or kukri if you're gardening etc but not if you're strutting about town at night.

As soon as you commit another offence, then you will be searched and charged with possession of a bladed article. Being under the influence of Alcohol is a higher culpability factor, being on a licensed premises can add to that. @englishshooting you need to be very careful how you give information regarding the carrying of a knife as your advice specifically applies where there is no offence or suspicion of an offence. If people think they can carry a bladed article as a matter of course whilst out and about in town and on the lash, they could easily find themselves on the wrong side of the law. I would avoid having any bladed article with you if you are in a pub or after having a few.

The term "valid reason" is totally at the discretion of the police office and the courts. Your valid reason might not be valid to them. Also all knives can be offensive weapons and you might get charged for that. Don't take knives to the pub, club, football match. I keep my very nice Swiss Army knife on my keys.

Nice video! I've always carried a penknife on me, such a useful tool to have. I feel naked when going through airports, etc. if I can't feel the weight in my pocket. I don't particularly use the blade much, but it does come in handy occasionally. Hell, at the rock night club I used to go to as a teenager I'd have the staff come find me for a bottle opener for the once in a blue moon when someone ordered wine and I was easier to find than the bottle opener!

The one and ongoing thing that will forever dick me off, as someone who used to roughshoot and owned shotguns and has carried a folding pocket knife since I was about 11 years old and still do in my 70's is that it doesn't matter how many laws are passed, what gun laws and what knife laws and what offensive weapons laws, criminals will continue to ignore the laws because they are criminals. I can remember when murder was rare in the UK, now it's an almost daily occurence. Pass all the laws you want, criminals will just ignore them.

Making it a 'UK Legal Blade' does not mean that the average copper who probably has NO clue about the law, won't haul you in for illegal carry/possession. I have a "UK legal" folder that caused the Ebbsfleet security official much concern some years ago, en route to Paris. She asked to see my passport, asked travel details, etc and took my pen knife to her boss in an office down the corridor. She emerged a few minutes later and gave it back to me, claiming that her boss had magnanimously allowed me to keep it. This nonsense delayed me by about 10 minutes, but the stupid charade could have seen me miss my connection to Paris. One can claim legality till you're blue in the face, but if the official you're dealing with is clueless - that it may become difficult.

This, simply, is a reaction of the need for suppressing certain type of characters within the horde. That's why this movement has no borders and is a trend around various regions in the world.

It really gets blurred with the claws etc, you can get away with some of them in a martial arts context as long as their are what's called "training weapons". I do Ninjutsu as well as historical re enactment/full contact battle (romans, Vikings, medieval ) so obviously part of the training is to have them, from what I understand as long as they don't cut and you are not using them in a threatening way publicly you are allowed to have re enactment weapons for that purpose. Through work etc ive met people who own sharpened ready to go commando knives, I'm guessing they get away with it because they aren't dicks with them.

Great advice , I remember back in the 1980's I had a knife in a jacket which I used for fishing. Being young and innocent, I just told the truth. I was pressured to admit 'if someone was going to kill me or my mother' I 'would' use/ brandish it. Which of course anyone would...child logic...hadn't learnt to lie. I was done for possession with intent to use or something. On reflection it was a bit unfair. However, it was the time of the SPG who beat me up twice for no reason. But they did clean the streets of the UK. So I have mixed feelings. Extreme results require extreme measures.

Secendly it'd get rid of the revenue for these street gangs and the would dwimndle in number befor all but disappering. Thirdly regualted drug markets would insure pure unadulterated products at prices the coud pay for rehab for anyone who needed it with a small portion of the tax revenue. also the drugs could be made cheaper which would mean opeople wouldnt have to rob and steal to get a fix. Alcohol is far ore complex to make then drugs yet no one is burgerlizing home for booze money; becuase its affordable. And the people that choose to use will save yoou money in the long run as they will diminish thier life pan and cost less retiremnt payouts. seems like a win for everyone involved; well beside the self rightous do gooders that believe they have a right to dictate how other lead thier lives.

In Czechia, there are no knife laws. Weapons other than firearms are unregulated and consequently may be freely carried for the lawful, good reason that is personal protection. Pistols may be carried pursuant to a permit obtained through a shall-issue process. Also, there are no specific rules of engagement for personal protection. Carrying daggers to back up a pistol is commonplace.

As a Dutchman, the situation is similarly limited on my side of the canal, which frustrates me to no end. My father grew up carrying a pocket knife as an everyday item and his father never left the house without his trusty SAK (which, though cheap, I am glad to have inherited). Nobody would bat an eye back then. Hell, even when I was a kid growing up in the countryside some 20 years ago, it was quite normal for kids to carry a SAK (as well as hammers and all manner of potentially dangerous objects) when going outside to build forts. These days you simply can't do that anymore. I certainly won't let it stop me--hypothetically, of course--but having to be on your toes for carrying what's historically a simple tool akin to a watch is absurd. Honestly, if you're desperate to hurt people, a slender screwdriver is just as effective and more covert than most knives.

So there some multitools like Leatherman Rebar & Supertool 300 are ok to carry, but Wave, Surge etc. aren't as the blades are accessible from the outside and can be opened with one hand. German and Swiss servicemen can't carry their issue folding knife off duty as it opens with one hand.

With the way the world is going at the moment, I feel the UK self defense laws need an overhaul. I for one would be happier with weapon for dealing with a threatening situation.

Law in uk has been the same for centuries. If the jury thinks its reasonable force then you are fine.

@@MrEdrftgyuji i never met anyone who knew why it is a good idea to wait months before a trial. What you say happened to a friend of mine. The other guy had the knife my friend punched him and the guy died from banging his head on the kerb as he fell. I think it was 9 months he spent, at 17 y o, in an adult jail. Never been the same since. The jury were not the problem. Remand was.

You have crazy laws in UK. Having a "weapon" on you can ONLY BE FOR OFFENSIVE PURPOSES? That's crazy. The notion that a person cannot possibly have a weapon on them for DEFENSIVE PURPOSES is ludicrous. Why do bobbies have weapons? For offense only? Not being allowed to have a knife with a locking blade only makes the tool more dangerous for the person using it. This is also ludicrous.

When will people in power realise that knives are not dangerous its the person carrying them that's the problem. Banning everything will not make any difference to criminals simply because they don't care about legality.

@@ericking7406 they don't care about that. they just want you completely unarmed so they can go snooping into your personal life with little stoping them. Other countries saw what the usa did with their constitution and the freedoms that it gave to the people and demonized the weapons that people could use to rise up against that kind of intrusion of privacy.

Switchblade is illegal to carry. Ka-bar legal with reasonable excuse eg. going camping. Speed assist is not a switchblade and technically legal with reasonable excuse. I carry a locking blade knife to and from work where I need it, and a slip-joint (Victorinox Fieldmaster) everywhere else.
