are those knives realy legal to carry in the uk because they look like lock knives witch i know are not legal to carry in the uk. i only know this because one of my lock knives was convescated by the police and the officer that took it told me there ilegal when i mentioned that a freind told me that lock knives were legal to carry.
@daffydsteroidhead You can carry any knife as long as the blade is smaller then 3.5 inches and it doesn't lock, the Police will still question you about why you have it and some may go as far as arresting you but you will be released once they actually measure the blade length and realise it's legal to carry.
@JUNAID187 there called spring assisted and yes i just bought a "Kershaw Chive" i was carrying a spyderco UKPK i plan to carry the kershaw the chance of getting stopped is rare anyway and im a firearm certificate holder so if it came to it i could argue that can be trusted with firearms but not an assisted knife..
I have to agree, I have read extensively on the subject before getting a V-Nox Huntsman as my EDC.
If in doubt, DON'T RISK IT. If you really want/need to carry an fixed,assisted opening, locking blade, make sure you have good reason as others have said: Camping, hiking, climbing, you're a chef/butcher/builder, trekking.
@survivalkraft actually there illegal to carry without a reason and a good enough reason to carry a locking knife would be so you dont want to cut your fingers with a non locking knife... as long as the blade is under 3" you could talk your way out of it but unless your a group of 16 year olds with hoodies hanging out side of a shop then i doubt you would get stopped..
i honestly don't understand either if people are enthusiastic about knives then sure let them as-long as they collect it and don't go around the streets stabbing people cause in these times it very hard to buy knives but if a criminal or a pretty thug wants it bad enough he is still going to get it so why bother trying so hard when all it does is put a strain on the normal law abiding citizens of the UK and other countrys?
Pretty sure they are all lock knives? Making the Swiss army the only UK legal knife there..be smart dude, there isn't any point risking it, just get something like a spyderco kiwi or grasshopper.
@x0TMH0x I for the most part agree with you. As to my understanding however, any knife that can be opened one handed is now illegal to carry, even if it wasn't designed for one handed opening. Also any locking knife. An SAK is about the best way to go over there. For an impact weapon a 2 AA torch is a great bet. Looks totally innocent as long as theres no striking bezel. Keep in mind Im a yank so I could be wrong.
@mynamestiki1 Im not sure if thats correct, personally. I can open a SAK with one hand, but they are definately legal here, so I think it all boils down to appearance and the way you regard people. Im 18, wear a hoody all the time and probably get stereotyped because I'm young and because I wear a hood (its winter !!! ) . But I know that if I was stopped and had my SAK in my pocket, im not going to get into trouble because I know the law, and I talk politely.
The Kershaw and the SOG both lock out so would be illegal to carry without good reason. Why would you mislead people to think they are legal for carrying every day when they are clearly not?
In the UK, it is only legal to carry a sub 3", non locking blade for EDC.
It is not illegal to own fixed, or locking (inc AO) blades, but you must be able to demonstrate to an officer that there is a specific purpose if you transport one.
If it was illegal to own these, UK shops couldn't sell them.
Use them when camping, fishing, climbing, or trekking, and you'll be ok.
Switchblades are illegal (an AO knife is not), as are balisongs.
Carrying any knife, tool, or even any object, with the intention of using it as even a defensive weapon, is illegal. I find your video encourages people to carry a blade, just in case they are set upon by someone with a knife. The rule is simple. Run from a blade, charge at a firearm. If you run, it's nearly impossible for them to hit you by throwing the knife. If you charge a gun, it makes it very difficult to land a hit. If you pick up a nearby object, that is fine.You're not going prepared.
@crazysaint222 are you from England? If so i can understand your position, but none the less i think it is sad that people would rather live in some deluded security rather than hold paramount their right to bear arms, fear of such objects is unhealthy and it is unsettling to think that people today are so afraid of everything that legislation needs to be passed against mans intrinsic right to bear arms.
@aclockworkalex You are right mate. The only trouble with the right to bear arms, is that everyone would carry one, because the next man can. In which case, almost every fight, or disagreement, would end in a serious injury, to one of the people involved. As it stands, the majority of incidents are fairly minor. If everyone had the same attitude as you, we would be fine, but sadly there will aways be trouble makers, wanting to demonstrate their "power" over others, abusing the right.
You've got the law wrong. Though there is an exemption under CJA S139 for folding pocket knives with a cutting edge of under 3 inches, it's been held to only apply to non-locking knives (see Harris and Deegan cases). It would seem that those knives, other than the SAK, lock and are thus not legal to carry in public without a good reason.
Strongly suggest you reconsider your EDC and amend video so that other people don't get wrong idea and unknowingly put themselves on the wrong side of the law.
no knives are legal to carry in england, anything that can be considered a weapon is illegal to carry unless being used in a job eg if ur a plumber u can carry a wrench or hammer or something like that
@OoRobLol thats kinda what i said, btw, meat cleaver is a big no no, lol, no blade more than 3.5 inches and it cant be a fixed blade, there was a guy with a meat cleaver on brit cops and they sent the ARU after him, he got tasered l
@OoRobLol also u cant carry ANYTHING for self defense, stupid right? you'll be put in prison if you use something ur carrying for self defense, unless its whats known as circumstantiall, which means you just have it cos u need it with you or its just lying around
@2010blackhawkdown i know right! id rather knives under 5 inches to be legal to carry, id rather go against a person with a knife, with my own than be the person without one
@2010blackhawkdown Not correct. The term your looking for is 'daily utility' which is where the max 3'' non-locking comes in. You may carry larger locking or fix blades knifes if you have just cause, this can be for work or for recreation e.g its fine to carry a fileting knife if you are fishing.
You know it's funny, but there are states here in the US where many if not most knives are illegal for carry, and doubly so if used. I wish we had the sort of standardization that English law has.
@gallybo no knives and guns cos we dont need em, and the mobile networks are fine. one last thing EDC is every day carry, so of course there is EDC in england, edc just means what you have on you daily, oh and dont say every one is mentally retarded then call the UK a country
Unless you work in woodlands or have a job where a fixed blade is a necessity, all those knives that lock are illegal to carry in the UK. The fact that they are assisted openers makes it unlikely that you will be able to justify their use to an officer. Assisted openers are illegal, and the police don't possess the same level of leniency with assisted openers as they do with plain fixed knives or locked knives, unless you have use of only one hand. I reccomend sticking with the swiss army knife.
because i am looking for a decent knife to carry with me but the lock knife rule is ridiculous , whats the difference between slicing someone with a locking blade and non locking?(not that i want mine for slicing people haha for general cutting uses like opening boxes and stuff)
@whiteandone i think peoples perceptions of knives are generally due to all the scare mongering the government and the media puke in our faces everyday. regarding knives i always carry a legal knife be it my SAK or my beloved svord peasant knife, but i would love to carry a mini mojo or a scallion without fear of being fined £1000 just for carrying a safer! locking knife.
there is lots of other info out there which i wont bother to paste here (just google UK knife law), so I'd encourage you to do your research fella and dont get arrested. great blades to have (especially the kershaw which is gorgeous) but know that if you get stopped you're facing 2 years. take care
Source: Criminal Justice Act, 1988. Section 139(1). Offence: It is an offence for any person, without lawful authority or good reason, to have with him in a public place, any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed except for a folding pocket-knife which has a cutting edge to its blade not exceeding 3 inches
mate, every knife there apart from the climber is illegal carry in the UK without a good excuse. If it locks it doesnt matter what the blade length is, it counts as a fixed blade. so youre right in that the blades are not illegal in and of themselves but the act of carrying a fixed/locking blade in public is illegal unless you can prove you have reason.
Folding knives which lock are illegal for edc in the UK---fyi england is part of the UK -----if the police find you carrying one "without good cause" you will be charged with possesion of an offensive weapon pretty serious shit -----welcome to bullshit britain
Because people are now more shizoid-paranoid and have mental confusion over what is possible versus what is true. "It could kill me" turns into "you're trying to kill us."
hey there, a small fixed blade knife, like a mora is not legal?
