    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.

    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.

    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.
