KarmicAnarchist asked:
but why is a 3 inch folding knife with a locking blade illegal? Surely the locking blade makes a knife safer, and less likely to fold under pressure and cut your hand?

thats absolutely ridiculous…
ALLOWED to carry a knife?! Didn’t think you could carry any sort of knife.
Oh god, I’m going to go buy me a knife if were allowed, HAHAHAH.
If that really is true, I’d imagine that it’s the locking mechanism which would allow the knife to remain rigid on the way into someone’s body!
i didn’t think a locking blade was illegal
you’re not allowed to walk around the streets with one, without not having a good reason for having it.
but unless you use it for your job, you shouldn’t have one.
not sure about UK, but im pretty sure its illegal to carry around any type of knife in Ireland, but yet once you have a licence you can carry around a gun
The reason you arnt allowed to carry a locking knife is because it can be pulled out fast and locked into place, therefore making it easily used as a weapon, its harder to use a folding knife without locking system as a weapon.
and the police have the right to arrest you anyway if the Believe you are carrying it as a weapon, so the law dosnt really amount to much anyhow.
yes you can carry 3 inch blade and don’t need a reason, the lock knife probably is more frowned upon, but if you are a work man (even carrying a 2 foot machete )and can prove it’s use for work you then have lawfull excuse to carry it. So you can carry round pretty much whatever you want. Also remember that carrying a knife is not prohibited by law but by acts which by definition require aggrement and consent to have the force of law.
I feel so sorry for you U.K. folks. First your guns, now your pocket knives…….
This is why I give money to the NRA, so that this never happens in the U.S.
What does your government think you are? A bunch of toddlers? Is it true that they are now padding streetlamps in case people walk into them?
i dont know who told you that but the uk has zero tolerence when it comes to knives
Why on earth in a city or town environs any one need carry a knife defies belief
Under the Offensive Weapons Act, you are allowed to carry a blade no longer than 3.75 inches.
