Legal or not?

[UKprepper01]

I know the laws here in the UK, as long as a knife is under 3' long and isn't fixed, and doesn't lock it's legal to carry everywhere, but if you're camping, you can take whatever with you really, but http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003 ... 7VSZZK3IHQ is this legal? it doesn't have a handle, it's a small blade, so is it legal or not? not really planning on having my wallet searched, but it's good to know that you can't get in trouble for something

I would think legal

It would be classed as a fixed blade.

You need a reason for actually carrying in a public place.

The fact that it is in your wallet could be classed as hidden and disguised by an officer of the law.

I suggest you take a picture of it to your local station and ask the Desk Officer for clarification. Get his details.

In the end, it is common sense. I have a lovely little Rough Rider ''gentlemans penknife',does all I want most of the time. Swiss Army Knife at work/fishing/shooting gear. Mora in my fishing BAG. Common sense.

It's not legal for everyday carry. It was what this respectable Gent had in his possession:

So let me get this straight.
Eurostar won't let you take a blade over three inches long and a two inch knife is a concealed weapon?
What retard wrote those rules ??
Rules for security I can understand (no matter what I feel about the subject) but why can't there be common sense used in the writing and enforcing of those rules?

Never accept a police caution as long as you've complied to the law
Any judge should of thrown that out, assuming the CPS bothered to take it any further

Never, never, never, most times they give them out because they know the CPS will fall over laughing and chuck it out. It is classed as a conviction for things like CRB Checks. DO NOT DO IT

[Manclife]

CPS don't like charging for ANYTHING! The other consideration is if you get found guilty at court then then your getting a fine etc where as the caution you don't. It's never a case of NEVER accept a caution or ALWAYS accept one as the law is never that straight forward. What I would say is ALWAYS get legal advice. You don't have to take the advice but its free so why not.

It most definitely is not a disguised knife & if it's in your wallet has no relevance in law.

The correct answer is:

Yes, it is legal, with good reason.

No, it is not legal without good reasn.

Proviso: "Just in case I need it" is not Good Reason
