@MarkMck1994 It's better to carry a Cold Steel walking stick (particularly the Irish Blackthorn stick) that can seriously hurt an attacker, should the owner know how to use it. It is quite impressive and can stop those who walk with knives and think your wallet is theirs.

@HanzzzCZECH NO NO NO NO NO! Knifes are FORBIDDEN... Any size any type & kind... & You WILL Be arrested and taken to court for a possession of a Dangerous Weapon.
OC / Tear / Pepper spray is also NOT allowed... Its classed as a fire arm and has a serious penalty behind it also, again only those with authority can carry it ie. Police Officer - Military Official.
Police advised once to carry a HUGE metal torch & hit your attacker with that, as its not classed as a weapon & carry's no penalty

@MarkMck1994 If i remember it correctly, you can carry only a small folding knife up to a certain blade length if you don't want to commit a crime in the UK. After all, a knife is very effective tool and I almost can't imagine my life without my trusted Victorinox.
But the problem is, criminals probably won't follow these laws. I think that a little easement for law.abiding citizens wouldn't do any harm (for example to allow OC spray, which is very effective defensive tool)

@HanzzzCZECH No its Forbidden... Due to it being a dangerous weapon and only allowed for Policing uses. Anything that could cause harm to you or others in the UK is classed as a weapon and carrying can end up in your arrest.
Yes, the UK laws against weapons are the strictest you will find worldwide... In a way is actually a good thing.

@MarkMck1994 I thought that it's not forbidden to have telescopic batons in the UK, only that you are not allowed to carry them in public. But I can be wrong, I'm no expert in common law. I've heard that the statutes regarding weapon carrying are quite strict in the UK...

@shizbazki Hopefully after a year you have researched some history to recognize your mistake. Cosh or Kosh has been used to describe a number of truncheon/club type weapons. The earlier ones (sometimes at least this long) being wood or whalebone. Many were cat gut or rope wound, especially by sailors. Traditionally they did not collapse but there is no reason why they couldn't in modern times. An important feature is a ball or 2. Before being a smart ass at least know what you are talking about.

Did you know that having this is actually an Offence because its classed as a dangerous weapon :)
Why do you have one anyway, just out of curiosity? I take it you want to be in the Police when you are substantially older.

You said baton wrong
4 Its a scabbard not a case, 5 Its not a COSH which is shorter and none extenable and made from leather, 6: Only crown servants (i.e. police) are allowed to carry them on duty.
