I work forestry and estate maintenance and generally carry an assisted opening part serrated locking flipper in my pocket and a fixed blade on my belt .

Literally! Non locking is way more dangerous 🤣 makes no sense!

I have found that so long as you don't draw attention then you can carry what you want. I've carried UK legal, chefs knives, box cutters, multitools, and maybe some knives that didn't stick to the laws (I admit nothing). A good rule of thumb to carry a knife with no reason other than to just carry it is to keep to the laws. The laws say no more than a 3 inch blade and non locking is legal to carry without a valid reason but as I said, don't draw attention and you should be fine.

@@TedHowells then possibly you should go do some knife fighting training to educate yourself, or even just go talk to a police officer who has seen these situations go down. Street knife crime is close quarters, rapid multiple strikes, with twisting bodies and often end up on the ground. Blade length is not an important factor. Not trying to cast you down dude. But you've just evidenced that your opinion is based upon ignorance. Not experience or research, or training. There's a reason why a blunt kubotan is classifier as an offensive weapon but a slip joint is not.

Here is a question I have heard so many times, "why....just why does anyone really need to have a knife for EDC?!?" I kinda get where people come from with this mindset. But..... Knifes should be like guns in the fact that you should register them, slip joint are dangerous. So locking knifes should be legal, Stay sub 3 inches if need be... Only law abiding citizens with clean back ground checks can have that privilege of EDC, does anyone else agree? People that own these mega expensive knifes im sure are good law abiding individuals who love the hobby and craftsmanship. Thoughts?

Definitely man, been doing research on this ever since I got mugged in Birmingham City centre the other day. I never thought it'd happen to me till it did. Still trying to process everything that happened on that night. Then it got me thinking, when the guy had his knife pressed against my stomach I highly doubt he gave a fuck about the law. Those who are out to break the law will break it. That leaves your everyday person, man or woman, law abiding citizen vulnerable cause you ain't allowed to carry shit. It was a very sad realisation. Sorry for the rant. Needed to get it off my chest 🙏

Fun to see people's little minds not comprehending the idea of society. Police don't have time to work out individual people's wants and needs - they look at the majority of knife crime, see the knives that are mostly involved and make the features of them the illegal bits (locking, bigger than 3" etc) - it's not stupid, it's statistically sensible and makes my job really easy when teaching school kids what is and isn't ok to have on them. Most areas outside major cities have no knife or gun crime which shows the police are doing a great job.

I think the majority of knife crime is done using machetes and things like kitchen knives… the locking rule is dumb though as I have a couple of locking knives with 1.5 inch blades which are illegal but then I can carry a 3 inch non locking.
