UK Friendly Carry Knives

UK-FRIENDLY POCKET KNIVES, IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES

Ever since recent changes in UK knife legislation the question of what types of knives are allowed in the UK is once again hot-topic. To help you out we did some research to tell you, once and for all, what is and what isn’t allowed.

UK Knife law states that you are allowed to carry a non-locking pocket knife with a blade length of up to 3 inches (7.62) without any need for a valid reason. This means that you are allowed to carry a knife in public that exceeds these guidelines. You do, however, need a valid reason for doing so.

Fortunately there are also good reasons to be carrying a knife. Examples can be that you use your knife for work or that you are taking it to a gallery or museum to be exhibited. In addition, if a knife is to be used for theatre, film, television, historical reenactment or religious purposes you can legally carry it in public. Finally, if you are planning to use a knife during a demonstration or want to teach someone how to use it UK knife regulation states that you can take it with you.

Please note: a court will decide if you have got a good reason for carrying a knife if you are charged with carrying it illegally. (Courtesy of Gov.uk)
