- Knife laws are getting stricter and stricter everywhere in the world... As knife lover we understand that knives are mainly tools. Laws are often restricting knife carry for the enthusiasts while not effecting knife crime much at all.... Is the coming new dutch knife law putting an end to our channel? We have much to discuss in this episdoe.

#Knife #Law #Knives
My spicy take on this is that EU is too scared to look at WHO is committing the crimes with knives so they will rather just like to regulate the tool.
It's the same thing as it happened with guns - terrorists used illegal automatic rifles and hand grenades to kill civilians but then EU put more restrictions to sport shooters and hunters 😐
Very true
I wouldn’t say not too scared to look. More like too scared to say.
This is why I watch your channel.
I'm sure you're familiar with how that's playing out in the U.S.A. right now, but for everyone else-
All over the media you see "Guns kill more kids than anything else.". What they fail to tell everyone is that they included 18 and 19yr olds in the equation, and that most of those deaths are gangsters shooting each other, not random little kids getting shot in school shootings. No gun owners that I've ever known are ok with any number of kids being shot, ever.
And speaking of school shootings. The reason there's so many listed each year in the US is because they include any incident with a gun within something like a 1000m of a school a school shooting. It's disingenuous at the very least.
When statistics of shootings in the USA are mentioned in the media you have to realize that they stretch the truth so far it's ridiculous.
I leave everyone with this thought-
“The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.” -Alexander Hamilton
Kind of like how Sweden has a gun crime epidemic and none of the shooters are Swedes...
Saddest part for me is that criminals won't care about ANY law, only law abiding citizens will.
100% the truth.
Bad laws undermine the rule of law. If the law is wrong, what's the purpose of abiding?
Yep. Exactly. Those laws only take knifes out of the pockets of people who carry for legit reasons. Criminals don't care about the law.....it won't affect them at all.
I've had a knife in my pocket for 40 years and not once has my hand even thought about using it as a weapon. I'm not gonna stop carrying one. Think it's already illegal where I am anyway so 🤷♂
Have they tried to ban criminals yet? That ought to solve all crimes in the world.
@@Skywalker96214 its amusing that its not illegal to be a criminal only to commit criminal acts :)
Limiting law abiding upstanding citizens doesn't solve anything. It just gives more power to the criminal and makes the law abiding citizens victims.
What he said 👍
Knives and guns being banned is just a bunch of commie libtard crap
...and never known any criminal to give a hoot about whether any weapon they had was legal or no. 'Weapon' laws don't make much of an impact on that.
@@scribebat yeah and they use the cop out of "oh if they weren't illegal then how would we charge them?" Thinking we're all idiots who don't know that laws have been in place about causing harm to another with any item what so ever for centuries lol it's such flawed logic it blows my mind it makes it as far as legislation, it's literally the same as saying, someone could potentially bash someone's head in with an ashtray, therefore we must prohibit ash trays.. it's fucking idiocy and these are the people who get to control every aspect of our lives. It's time we all took our countries back by any means necessary.
yep, very accurate description of what will happen.
Knife laws and bans here in America have been getting overturned, there are actually organizations that fight them in court here thank heavens
They ban them they'll be one hell of a shoot out at my house. Bet on it.
New Hampshire's laws used to be confusing. Felons couldn't carry a blade longer than 3 inches and everyone else could carry up to a 6 inch. Then it was simplified: Felon=No knife for you, Not a felon=Carry a sword for all we care, concealed or open
@@vincentmarcellino7183 and the whole able to carry black powder guns. So that just means they can take a colt navy and kill six people before reloading
@@DM-88 who hurt you today? 😂
@@vincentmarcellino7183 Kinda seems like it's a privilege and not a right, if they can take it away from a certain group but let another keep it. It's not like felons follow the law anyway, they still carry lol
When knives are outlawed, only outlaws will have knives.
not banned just restricted
@@DarrenMalin that's just the first step to banning.
It worked great in the UK
When rocks are outlawed, only outlaws will have rocks.
It never stops there, as proven all down thru history
Owning and carrying a knife is a human right.
People gave up their rights when they put on the mask of compliance.
Unfortunately the government here in the UK don't think so
It used to be the case. Then the 3rd world cultural enrichment arrived.
Yea, one can discuss how thats about a firearm but citizens should be assured the right to carry knife by law, not be prohibited to do so.
Same with firearms.
As a German dealing with bullshit like that for years, I can give you a very good advice: simply don’t care and carry what you want. How often did a police officer searched you, never me…
Good advice German man
There were knife laws in Croatia prior joining the EU letting one carry knives but not daggers. Then later on came the laws that at one section allowed and at the other section didn't allow fixed blades, then it had to be 90mm max blade lenght etc etc. I know, I have read all of it before deciding to buy a Victorinox Forester for minor handyman work because I got tired of having those cr*ppy utility blades, they get expensive in the long run. Our knife laws were/are a mess and when you add EU laws... In the worst case I could be arrested, convicted and jailed for having kitchen knife in blister packing in the trunk of my car while going home from the knife store. Yeah.
It all depends on the mood of the policeman who finds the knife in my possession while in public (my car is an extension of my person, the roads are public, the original packaging could be interpreted as a sheath) and the mood of the judge.
I was stopped once and was searched because some drunk threatened to kill someone in a bar not far from the place I used to work in. The policeman wasn't stupid, he saw how I was dressed, saw bunch of tools in the car, he checked what and where I worked, told me about the unclear law and let me go. With the knife.
I'll keep my eyes open for new changes in law and if it goes full retard I'm considering buying a 15cm fixed blade, I'd feel stupid being jailed for a Victorinox because of some possible paranoid Karen bystander couldn't understand I was using it for my work.
Hell, I'm thinking of machete now.
Ich wurde schon mehrmals kontrolliert, war innerhalb erlaubter Gesetze. Spiel halt mit dem Feuer anstatt etwas gegen idiotische Gesetze zu machen :D
@@robertrosen2703 Im (groß-)städtischen Bereich oder im Umfeld von öffentlichen Veranstaltungen? Vielleicht noch in welchem Bundesland, wenn's nicht zu neugierig ist. Ich wurde im eher ländlichen Umfeld von Koblenz noch nie kontrolliert; trage öffentlich aber auch diskret, d.h. nicht am Clip, sondern in einem Lederbeutel im Hosensack. Ob da ein Fällkniven TK2 (konform) oder ein Mini Bugout (nicht konform) drin ist, oder ob man überhaupt ein Messer in der Tasche hat, sieht so kein Mensch.
Words of a typical Russian :)
It’s not about protecting people it’s about control!
It is about stupid people feeling being protected, not based on reality.
People seem to think knives are like guns. Where a knive is a tool that can be a weapon too. A gun never can be a tool, since it is only a weapon. And lets not start the silly train of "but guns are tools too", because tools to kill are weapons and not tools.
@@Leftyotism I use my gun (tool) to put meat on my table. It does nothing on it's own. No more dangerous than a hammer. Both can be used as weapons. Wonder why nobody carries a hammer for protection? Love when someone says, "it's a weapon, it's meant to kill". No shit, I'm not trying to tickle someone that means to harm me or mine. Carried a gun in the Army and carry one as a civilian. News flash, bad guys carry guns to hurt good people. I carry one to stop those same bad guys. You are a sheep. You can call the cops to make chalk lines and look for clues. Those of us that are armed and trained will take care of it before the cops get there.
@@Leftyotism The fact that your knife can peel an orange doesn’t make it not a weapon anymore either, your point makes absolutely no sense. Sure hope u never need to protect yourself, at least ur govt has its armed guards while they tell you that you don’t need protection 🤣
@@jayandrusiak Clearly you didn't get jack of I wrote.
@@Leftyotism guns can be used for many more things than just killing.
People who give up their freedom for safety deserve neither...
They didn't give it up, it was taken from them. And they aren't safe. Diversity is a weapon against the white race.

And this is the only comment needed
I'm British but have lived in Kansas for over 20 years now. I can't imagine going a day without a knife, and depending on the job I worked different knives served better. Working on cars for example, the ability to open a knife one handed was important. Knives are tools, and I would feel lost without one.
it's hell for guys like us to live without knives and guns
In the uk you can have any knife required to do your work, you just can't carry it around outside, for example a tree surgeon can have an axe on a toolbelt or a leatherman locking multitool outside my house if about to use on my tree, he can't go to the shops with it, but it can be stored in a toolbox in his van whilst at the shop getting a sandwich on the way to an appointment ;) Its not clear cut, dutch law is more restrictive.
Also they don't have KC bbq across the pond 🤣
@@roundtheloopandback Not letting you carry a multitool with you is insane. I never leave the house without one I use it constantly.
Haha I’m from Kansas too! I never leave my house without a knife or multitool.
Here in Wyoming USA, we can carry anything, concealed or open carry. Knives are something a lot of people use every day as part of their jobs, they are tools, like a hammer or a screwdriver.
my thoughts exactly
We are not free....
Louisiana is the same. There are no blade length restrictions, conceled or otherwise. Unless you're in a weapons free zone.
I graduated in 2014 in kentucky and every guy even in school carried a pocket knife everyday.
Ohio here, they cant even keep the environment safe they are sure as heck not worried about knives
Canadian here…we are heading down the same path but are about 10 years behind you. Government here just banned handguns and tried very hard to ban all semi auto long guns before backing down. They will regroup and try again. It’s not about safety it’s about control.
Come to America and fight for freedom
Do something about it! Quit electing pansies.

I understand your point but you can't ban a tool that we also all need. If you want to prevent knife crime by banning knives you have to also get rid of kitchen knives and Stanley knives as these are by far the most used in knife related crime
@@larrymartineau7507except reality says otherwise. Criminals will just take any cheap kitchen knife or sharpen anyfthing that can be use to cut or stab and keep committing crimes. The only thing you're doing is take tools from oaw abiding people who wish to have something of good quality that does not provide any additional capability AT ALL to commit a crime when compared to makeshift shanks.
Same thing with firearms; thry are ridiculously easy to make, and if you monopolize them, criminals who disregard the law will get them in the black market or simply make something perfectly lethal from scrap metal, a couple springs and readily available household chemicals. What are you going to do, ban your way until your illusion of safety is satisfied? Remove people's freedoms one by one until the world is perfectly padded and you have to cut your vegetables with round tip scissors?
@@larrymartineau7507 World wide do you know what the number one murder weapon actually is. It's your bare hands. Would you advocate for removing hands and feet so they can't be used for evil?
@@larrymartineau7507 So are we banning vehicles then? An SUV driving into a crowd of innocent people would do far more damage than any firearm or knife.
Let's be real. This is not about safety. It is about control. Total control.
@@larrymartineau7507 okay so you get guns and knives banned. Your nation's largest criminal organization would still have them AKA your government. Plus it would create a very lucrative Black market and criminals would still be able to get their hands on weapons while civilians and law-abiding people cannot. Gun control is just that, control.
I live in Louisiana USA. Hoping we get constitutional carry for concealed guns passed this year. The thought of knives being banned is laughable to me. I feel for ya'll.
Texan here. Constitutional carry is the way.
Don't laugh too loud. In a state that is still crushing your rights to self defense, first no carrying guns, knives may not be too far behind.
MO is the same, Constitutional Carry at 19
Laughable, and yet, in this day and age, not inconceivable.
South Alabama here and we already have concealed carry with out permit. There are laws on knives but I don’t believe they are interested in enforcing
Worked in the law enforcement / safety field in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 for around 20 years. Never have I found a 'real' knife under questionable circumstances, mostly cheap kitchen knives and other garbage or gas station junk, of course carried by minors. Mainly honest people like knife / EDC enthusiasts and craftsman carry their tools with the responsibility necessary.
The knife laws as the have been for years were good enough in my opinion. Some knives were banned but most shouldn't have been a problem. Too much of the 'knife' based incidents has been caused by minors (under 18 y/o) with kitchen knives, machete's or 'cheap fake tactical' knives. Almost all situations which are already covered by existing laws.
So, no new laws will reduce the amount of knife related incidents if the current laws are not enforced to it's full potential. Quick side note: a lot of police officers I met during my work didn't even had a good understanding of those knife laws or about the weapon laws in general.
I truly hope commonsense will win over misplaced fear and a lack of understanding!
Thank you for your comment! I completely agree
Minors? Nieuwe "Nederlanders" bedoel je zeker?
Such a good answer! ❤ I really believe that the problem is within the mindset of individuals. A person prone to hurt someone will carry a weapon regardless, while a normal person will look at his knife as a tool, which to me, all my knifes are tools and appreciated for their ability to help with tasks througout the day. Especially my Leatherman when I'm at work (I have it in it's pouch, inside a tool pouch in my backpack with lots of computer equipment (if i was in law enforcement, i would be more concerned with this guy carrying lots lots of "hacker" tools, literally😂 than a multitool) In the woods i carry an axe a small knife and a saw, well longer trips tho.
Extremely grateful for Doug Ritter here in the USA for his Knife Rights organization that has been clawing back rights for us.
He is why we have decent knife laws here in Ohio now.
Carrying an otf auto right now because of his help
I'd love to be able to carry an assisted knife here in ny and not need a valid hunting or fishing license.
What rights are you talkin about that are being taken away concerning knives? I'm in Indianapolis Indiana USA. And we can walk down the street carrying a sword or a battle-ax I don't know what you're even talking about who who's restricting Americans rights to carry a knife? You must be in a democratic-run States that's all I got to say. And you need to leave immediately before the bank's collapse
@@zombielover317able In California I can only carry Automatic Knives under 2 inches. A fixed blade knife has to be worn at the belt and completely unhid. Recently Virginia just got back the right to carry an automatic knife thanks to KnifeRights. Do more research.
I really wish the best on our knife enthusiast brothers across the pond. You can never trust the whole "hopefully there is a good police officer." Here in the states I always carry a knife and a gun and it just sucks hearing that you need to make up excuses just to carry something like a Swiss army knife. Blows my mind.
Lol there are no good cops. They follow orders, even if it includes executing civilians or putting Jews in death camps.
It really is insane. I never go anywhere without a firearm and a knife. I can't wrap my head around it
the idea is that you dont need an excuse. an excuse implies that you dont have a reason for it. like you dont want that crackhead to have a knife because he wants one. but if you actually want one for a reason (other than murder) it should be fine. me for example i use my knife to whittle sticks when i get bored and to cut fruit that i buy
Carry walking sticks or the Japanese pipes
@xRadioactiveAngelsx they will be after that next.
Theres no need to look for comparisons over seas. Here in Czechia, you can carry pretty much anything pretty much anywhere as long as you are not being dangerous (swinging it around). You sometimes see people carrying swords or machetes and there is never an issue. Almost no knife crime too. If you have a knife crime problem, it's probably not the knives.
Insanity. I have carried a knife every day of my life since 5th grade (and I'm not that old; early 30's). It was against the rules in school, but nobody every knew. Rules against carrying any weapon is not about protecting the public; it's about controlling a populace so they can make you weak/unable to fight their tyranny.
You will fight the turanny of the governement with the knife?

This isn't about self defence. A knife is a terrible self defence tool.
It's about knives as tools.
@@dutchtwenteigh9901 The laws they are talking about are absolutely about self defense. Their government want's to make it easier for criminal's that don't follow the laws, to take advantage of good people, they want the people to be good victim's! It is about CONTROL!!! Period. The police will not be there to save you, so don't believe that nonsense. It will be up to you to save yourself, if you are in a situation where you have no choice. I am glad I live where I can carry a gun, spare ammo, and a couple knives. I could carry an AR-15 if I feel like it, and guess what, cop's can't even make me identify myself. Where I live violent crime is pretty rare, because people can defend themselves... Anyone could be armed, not just the cops and bad guys!
You are right, self defencec should never be a crime. Too bad I live in Bulgaria, here the most unspeakable and heiness crime IS self defence. God forbid you try to make a stand for yourself in any way, the whole family will take the blow.

@@skiadrum3243 that sucks man. The people that make these stupid laws are protected by armed security that will surely not get in any trouble I'm sure. Rules for thee, but not for me... They do not care about the people, they would rather make it easier for criminals to take advantage of better/ easier victims... Thanks to stupid laws that only affect law abiding citizens. Good people must take a stand against tyranny like this.
It is time brothers and sisters. We must assemble to defend DBK. All the years the have given us quality entertainment and information about knives, now we must stand
Thank those left ist and com munist pencil pushers they voted for, now we have out of control immigr ation, measures against climate change that doesn't do anything, and the loss of all our rights, its already here, we don't have rights anymore, we have permissions, which can be taken from us any time, just look what they could do during co vid, look what Trudeau did in Canada to ordinary protesters, but gluing on the streets to archive idiotic measures is no problem at all. The only thing we can do, is to enlighten as many people as possible, so they know that those in power won't act in our favour. It won't take long until we have circumstances like they have in China.

In Spain it was common for old people to carry a folding knife. Then politicians apply this law (very similar to yours), like 20 years ago or so, and nowadays no one dares to carry a knife, even if it's justified. If you pull out a tiny Victorinox to cut some food, open a box or whatever, the first reaction that you're going to get from people is fear, surprise and suspicion.
Weakness thats all I hear
@@neilbraun11Exactly.
Sorry to hear that brothers. In Poland we don't have any major knife restrictions so we can legally carry pretty much anything except blades hidden in things that don't look like a knife. Hell, if we want we can carry a sword in a middle of a city and it's weird but 100% legal!
Yep, the same here in the Czech Rep. We have even a saying here that every right man carries a knife in his pocket. I cant imagine to have the knives regulated like in the UK or Germany. The problem with the crime are not the knives (nor the guns) but the people.
@@vs2573 🎯
🏳️🌈EU is comeing😂
Never felt freer then when I moved from the UK to Poland. When I was a kid, no one would bat an eye if you were carrying a knife but once mass immigration happened in the nighties, knife crime became a thing and out of fear they started really cracking down on knife carrying.
Eastern Europe is so much better than Western Europe. I would rather be in Poland than Germany or France any day.
In the UK here, finger nails are now on the most dangerous weapon list. Used tissues, bent spoons and plain white 80gsm paper to follow.

@Freedom1775 haha, you're absolutely right ! Poor guy probably has a leftist brain problem
I remember once I was in a store checking out on an nice SOG S1 bowie knife when an older lady looked at me and said "ohhhh, you can kill someone with that", where I explained her that this knife would be too expensive to throw away after such an exercise and I would use a cheap screwdriver if I had that intention. She looked at me even more shocked :-) . As you guys mention, those kids with bad behaviour use cheap knives that can be bought for a couple of bucks and not the collector items we are dealing with to do our wood processing. This law is basically pointless because these little criminals, if they are smart enough, would just find another tool to use for their dark intentions like a big screwdriver, a folding saw, a tire lever or a nice pointed scaffolding wrench.
SO true ... and the other day , someone on an airplane mid flight, attacked the crew with a SPOON
And even if you were actually buying it for self defense I still don't see a problem with it.
I'm a retired Chicago police officer, we couldn't care less about knives unless they were used in the commission of a crime. Usually it was a girlfriend that got mad at her baby daddy and stabbed him with a kitchen knife and it would not have been anything fancy, just think Ginsu steak knife or another situation is what we referred to as a "Mental", someone who is on psych meds that stopped taking them. The call we would get from a family member would be "so and so is refusing to take his meds and also refuses to bathe and he has a knife" so we show up and have to sweet talk them out of holding the knife and take them to a hospital to get meds from a doctor. That's about the only time I thought about knives. I've never been shot at by anyone with a knife but I have been shot at by criminals with guns (strangely they were never NRA members, go figure). I actually used to joke with people that I found a knife on, "Hey, don't shoot anyone with that". I miss the job. Good luck to you guys, I really like your show!
The Ginsu steak knife is one of the worst knives to get stabbed with. They're really not as sharp as you would think but tear through flesh like butter and leave a nasty gash.
Love me some Chi-Town Paul, tho it's been 30 years! Glad to see the back of "Heronner'z" head, maybe some good govt. might flow...

Since you are a PO can you answer this question. Why do most cops violate people's rights on a daily basis and break the oath they swore?
Well, even though I am strictly against knife regulations, you in the US have a very different situation compared to Europe, simply because Guns are much easier to get for everyone.
Because guns can be considered more effective as weapons, no criminal needs to fall back on knives as a weapon because guns are the better option.
@@niklasfischer3915 strangulation is the most common form of assault especially in domestic violence cases here. Also there are more crimes with knives then guns as well. Largely depends on the state as well for statistics. the ones with the most laws also have the highest violent crime rates like California and New York.
In Sweden you can carry a knife for work, or for outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, and mushroom picking. The most common "murder knife" in Sweden is a serrated breadknife.
@darkiee69 Well'l here in the UK it is the Kitchen carving Knife & Craft stanley knife that get used the most for stabbing & murders not to mention Scewdrivers . The most effective knife's for stabbing and slashing are the boning knifes and filleting knifes that are in my kitchen knife block there.

"He who is unfit to serve his fellow citizens seeks to rule them."
-- Ludwig von Mises
True. And that guy would know, he never MISES.
Here in Germany, you have to be a lawyer, to know all the rules.
You are actually allowed to carry a folding knife or a fixed blade with a blade length of max. 12 cm (does not include folding knifes without a locking mechanism). But the blade should not have more than one sharp edge (like a dagger) and it should not made for fighting (like a karambit or a blade with tanto shape) - very foggy, because for example a bowie was a tool and a defense weapon at once. Folding knifes should be made to open with two hands (so no springs or helping dots). If the blade is longer than 12 cm or if the folding knife can be opened one handed, you should have a reason for it, like hunting, camping or climbing - also very foggy. Machetes and axes are actually tools. But if the axe is a double axe, it becomes a throwing weapon and it’s also sometimes difficult to tell the exactly difference between a machete and a chopping knife. All knifes are legal to own with the exception of a fist knife, when you are not a hunter or somebody, which has to work with leather. If you are in a weapon free zone, the max. blade length is dropping to 4 cm, when you don’t have a permission to own a weapon (small or big gun license / gun ownership card). And at least, if you are carrying a legal knife, but you trigger a police operation, you still have a problem.
There have been plans by two politicians from a socialist party to tighten the law even further, but fortunately so far they have not succeeded.
Sad how things have become in Germany. I remember a time in Germany (I lived there as a citizen throughout my teens) when I was openly flipping my balisong in the school hallway with very very minimal worry about a teacher seeing it. The teachers knew we all had knives, even balis. Was not a problem back then.
Oh, and no, it was not a Realschule or Hauptschule, haha, I attended a normal Gymnasium of course. But it was a different time. Things were better back then (early 90's).

Here in Czechia, we luckily still have no regulations. You can literally edc a sharp katana without any problem. Unless you swing it around in a street full of people or something, which could be considered endangerment of the public.
sounds like the same principles as in the u.s.a.

Very true. Just be mindful around people. I'm from Austria and we can carry literally everything. But as you said, there is a thing called "disturbance of public order" and it's verry blurry formulated.

First, let me say I'm appaled by the amount of restrictions increasing in the Western countries during the last few (or perhaps not just a few) years. There is simply no excuse to force citizens who broke no law to explain and defend why they carry something.
Here, we can carry basically anything (knives, axes ... guns require carry license) anywhere. There are some exceptions - courts, prisons ... perhaps a disco joint wouldn't allow you to enter with a big knife for example - but generally noone cares what you carry. Even the cops don't care unless you act suspicious or in an illegal way.
My friend coming from work with a machette in one had and a hatchet in the other to have a dinner in a pub a few months back? No problem. He entered, said Hello!, put the tools unders the table, had a food and a few beers, then paid, took the tools and left. Problems? None. And last week a guy with a medieval executioners axe :D was having a beer in a bar I often visit and guess what? After having drunk a few beers he picked up the axe and left. He told me he was to be in a reenactment the next day.
And another friend of mine got beaten by a bunch of unarmed thugs. My point? The problem is not the tool but the person (who might be a tool himself LOL).
The Czech Republic - even with these "mild" laws - is one of the safest countries in the world. But should the EU decide that the Greater Good (I'm no Tau sympathizer!!! LOL) demands law-abiding citizens not carrying guns, knives, axes, pepper sprays etc., we would be truly frakked anyway.
Your country must have not allowed mass immigration good for them👍
@@Drewcappelletti Czechs housed a lot of Ukrainians recently
Gun rights are already a part of Czech Constitution so the EU can't force them away.
Majority of czech people was againts mass uncontrolable immigration from Africa, Syria etc. because huge cultural gap. Now we have a lot of Ukrainians in Czech Republic without problem (for now). I hope,that our weapons and guns laws will stay like today and we don´t bend before stupid EU weapon prohibitions laws. That´s one part of freedom, I can carry my stilleto knife or gun without worrying, that some policemen put me in the jail, because I have a knife.

I'm in California and I carry a Bark River Kephart, or one of the smaller fixed blades that I've made, out in public. I make sure it's visible because it's perfectly legal to open carry in CA. Some cities here regulate the size of the knife, but I won't travel to those shitholes anyway.

It's a matter of control.Free persons own weapons .Slaves don't. (Or "subjects")
Pure blood beat me to it. It's not a question of if, but when. Any ridiculous Orwellian laws you see passed in other countries can be passed in the US, too, the right climate/context just needs to be in place and Americans told the right things, which can easily be done with mainstream media, so it can be then more easily sold to the American public.

No. Data suggests that immigrants are 2.5 times less likely to commit crimes than non-immigrants. Don't be bigoted, actually look at the data.

@@Bodinepicksz they said where they live, it varies from state to state city to city and such
Well, the law varies by state. In Michigan you cannot carry certain types of knives, e. g. double edged fixed blade. You can own one, but you cannot carry it or have it in your car.
I carry an esee 6 or a tops scandy on my waist everyday in Florida it sounds like it's time for the boys to make a move everyone else is moving to Florida we would welcome DBK .
Maybe not where you live but a lot of the USA has significant knife restrictions (you probably know, just clearing it up for others).
As an American in Michigan, I can carry about everything. Knives are tools. I have never seen or been around any sort of knife violence. I feel the people who make laws have heavy crime areas in mind. Rather than fix the crime issue, they would rather take away tools from regular people.
Fact: Most knife crime is done with a kitchen knife.
Listening to you guys, I hear the same things we say as gun owners. The laws that affect me, will have 0 effect on a criminal. Criminals will always find a way despite any laws, meanwhile, law abiding citizens lose access to normal tools or the ability to defend themselves.
Let's ban kitchens!
This is true the world over. 75-90% of knife crime is indeed carried out with some type of home kitchen knife. Pairing and steak knives in the street, chef and carving knives for indoor "heat of the moment" crimes.
Metro detroiter here, only a few areas have knives ordinances but it's basically like "if you seem like you are someone who would get stabbytime with it then we can bust you for carrying certain things". But otherwise yea. I've had some large fixed blades even here in Oakland county and never had a cop said shit to me.
@@DravinD81 Yeah, and carried out by non whites
Michigan’s knife laws are rare example of everything lining up right in the US. We can carry most anything, even out the front knives, but not daggers. This makes perfect sense; daggers are basically murder weapons, and that’s not a legitimate use of the tool.
Hi guys! Greetings from Poland, we are allowed to carry a knife (any kind of knives slipjoints/folders/fixed) also we can carry a loaded guns If You dont travel in public transport 😅

@@Inshokuten69is it specifically Queensland that is that strict? I was under the impression that Australia was more similar to NZ where we can carry manual knives but have to have a reasonable reason why we need to carry it, like work, cutting up fruit for your lunch etc
Whaaaat in QLD? which is already the most conservative state in Australia. I don't know what's gonna be left for me here in NSW Australia. Anyways I just use a small knife two hand opening for work one and a while and the others mostly in the bush, camping, hiking, or at home, so I won't give up these, at all. Also the change for anyone to get me in this sort of places is ridiculously small.
In the Poland we can carry whatever we want. Even a sword like a Wicher (we cant scary the people using it)
We can carry all folding type knives but we can’t carry a hidden knife, like a Key Knife.

With dual citizenship in the US (my home country) and Ireland I was shocked at my Irish family's reaction to me having a Victorinox knife when I visited them on their Irish farm. They explained to me that I may get into trouble with the Gardaí. I could maybe see an issue in Dublin or Cork City but this was a very rural country farm. I knew enough to leave my lock-blade at home in the States but though a Swiss Army knife would not be an issue... How wrong I was. We take our rights for granted here in the US and need to check up on EU's laws every so often so we don't end up in trouble.
That's very odd of them being scared of carrying a sak, I carry one every day, I also carry a svord peasent knife, both are legal edc
@@lexloose2112 Not in Ireland mate. There you can't carry any blade whatsoever, anywhere

@@trtess It's just illegal to carry knives in public. The guy posting had obviously done that on the way to the farm. Otherwise nobody in Ireland would be allowed to cut food lol.
Sweet jesus, so they have decided that a man has no right to defend themselves....the diffrence between a subject, and a citizen. Any political party/politicians that tried to ban knifes here would be laughed out of their positions and find themselves in the proverbial ashbin of history .REALLY.
Here in the UK the law is basically this, non-locking folders (slipjoints) can be carried in most places without having to give a reason, except for in certain places, courts, schools, airports etc, but in addition to being slipjoints they must be sub 3 inch or 76 mm in length. Anything else with some exceptions, you have to have good reason to carry and the reason, "Just in case I need it," will not do. Also certain knives are banned outright, such as balisongs, flick/gravity/automatic knives and a whole host of others (It's complicated). However UK law is heavily influenced by believed intent, so if you carry any item at all (And I do mean any) for the purposes of, "Self defence," that then becomes an, "Offensive weapon," in the eyes of the law because it's being carried with the possible intent to cause harm, even in defence of yourself or others, even down to a rolled up newspaper. However if for instance you have to an umbrella because it's raining and someone attacks you, and you use that umbrella to defend yourself, you're probably OK because you weren't carrying it to defend yourself, you were carrying it to keep the rain off. It's very complex. A far better explanation is given by a British barrister on the RUclips channel, "Blackbelt Barrister. 👍

Fortunately here in Austria we can still carry any knife of any size in any situation (except for public events) without a legal need for clarification.
I really hope this right will remain in force.
I have two sets of knives and multitools. One for Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria, and the other for Germany and France. I'm glad going to Austria that I don't have to change my Polish set for the less handy one :)
It's not a right... if it cannot be defended... with force.
You guys are hilarious, instead of worrying about knife bans perhaps you cowards ought to go get yourself some gun rights and overthrow your socialist leaders.
Austria is awesome
You gotta use common sense. I'm from Austria too. Yes we can carry literally everything, but is it a good idea. For example, in the woods I carry a knife on my hip. When you go around in the city with a big knife on your hip, you get funny looks. You get what I mean hopefully. Just be thoughtful about where you are and who's around you and you have no problem.
In Poland you're allowed to carry the knife outside of mass events and also if it's not a hidden blade (for example in umbrela or a cane or something).
In Switzerland Blades up to 10cm blade length are allowed. No double edge, No Hidden blades(even if smaller than 10 cm). But you are allowed to carry a sword or other training blade in a separate carrying bag. On the way to, and from Training.
To be exact " knife that doesn't look like a knife and has blade concealed within". Also na ballistic or gravity knives. Balisongs and otf's are kinda ok but depends on a$$hat you encounter.

Ohio, US recently dropped every knife law. They are all seen as tools unless you are a felon or the knife is used in a criminal act.
I'm from the states, the thought of knives being regulated like that has blown my mind.I can't imagine having to explain having a knife on me, as a mechanic it's a everyday tool. I would feel naked without it.
But it exists here brother, believe me. I travel all over the U.S. for work and it is impossible to know what the rules are locale to locale.
I bought a Milwaukee duct knife for work in Southern California and discovered it was illegal to have the instant I left the store according to the letter of the law but bikers can carry swords and machetes lol
The driver behind these is the realization that it is virtually impossible to fend off a knife assault. Even if someone carries a gun, an attacker with a knife within 20ft can probably kill you before you can draw, unless you can actually run away. Now that is not theoretical, there was a long series of lethal street stabbings in London and other parts of Europe, many of which would have remained a plain brawl but one of those idiots had a knife at hand.
Now if you check the actual legislation and the enforcement guidelines you can find that work sites, workshops, private (not publicly open) area is not relevant. If you are a mechanic and use knives in your workshop or at a construction site it is out of scope. If you walk around the high street with a 7 inch blade knife flinging at your side it has little to do with being a mechanic I guess, otherwise you are supposed to carry a few torque wrenches too :)
I understand people's frustration that they can't carry whatever they like but I also get totally frustrated by the idea of all the drug addicts and 60iq idiots open carrying machetes when my kids are coming home from school. Actually, the latter frustrates me more.
Now I don't live in the US and I hear you guys tolerate more street killing than other parts of the world. I can see the rationale to limit carrying stuff that in the heat of a brawl people can suddenly pick and kill each other with. I see the point of asking people not to bring long fixed blade knives or switchblades on their belt to a pub, a bus or a train station. If you need a tool, pack it away with the rest of your tools and pick it up when you need it, just like the rest. Opening boxes or cutting tape is totally possible with small folders that are legal 99% of the world.
@@koborkutya7338 I guess I was unaware of the knife violence in other countries. I am aware of the violence in the states. I'm not comfortable with saying we tolerate the killing and assaults here. I have been very aware of people being so ugly with each other for the craziest reasons, then you put people with addictions and mental illness in the mix and it is truly messed up. I typically don't have my knife out of pocket in public, I could see how it could cause concern flipping your knife around next to those around you. The knife in the right hands is a very capable weapon if that's what a individual has in mind. I'm just not convinced regulating knives is the answer, the honest civilian will abide by the law, but those with bad intent will not. I truly don't know what a good solution is. It seems people don't value life like we should, to willing to harm others for ridiculous reasons. To be honest the way our law makes conduct themselves, I don't trust them to be the voice of reason. I wish you well.
@@koborkutya7338 100% agree. I'm a bladesmith AND a collector and I fully understand and agree with the rules banning the carrying of most knives in public. Pretty much any unforseen daily occurance that requires a blade can generally be fulfilled with a Swiss army or other small folding knife.
The blanket ban on even owning certain types at home however, is unnecessary imo.

A few years ago, all puukkos and knives were confiscated from our work. I am in the factory doing maintenance, and I use a puukko almost every day for many work tasks. I clean the seal surfaces, crank the seal out of its groove, cut the hoses to the right size and so on. The safety team made a list of all replacement tools that should be used for each work step, and there were a lot of those tools! they proud of their list and said this is a good thing that they could replace puukko with all these tools. but I said, do you realize how crazy this situation is that I have one, one and only tool that can do all these jobs! but now I should have to carry huge array of tools starting with a hacksaw, just because puukko is forbidden for some reason. End well, I can still carry a puukko and do all the necessary work with it, and that's a really good thing, because it's a really versatile tool.
It’s very similar here in Sweden. We also had a law change recently like yours and I really hate it. I grew up with my grandpas view on knives that he taught me.

In Canada, Federally speaking, you could legally wear a 7 inch fixed blade knife, or larger even, on your belt in Walmart as long as it’s not concealed. In a backpack is ok too, it’s considered “stowed.”
The type of knife can matter. No switchblade, balisong etc.
intent matters too the knife became an issue, but generally speaking, RCMP will leave you alone if you aren’t a POI already. The law is muddy so other people’s experience may vary.
lol canada
Thank you for explaining this. I wasn’t sure I could do it clearly. You touched on the major points: non-concealed, intent of use, no assisted opening.
The law in Canada is intentionally muddy, to allow the police to use their judgment about criminal intent, but if they can’t show criminal intent they can’t win in court if you are ever charged, so never say you are carrying a knife for self-defence because that can be construed as intent to harm someone. Always have an idea of the non-criminal cutting you carry a knife for.
I live in the UK, in the Southwest of the country. I enjoy bushcraft as I think it is a life skill. Regarding sharp tools, I have a Fallkniven F1x, a Mora, Bahco Laplander saw, and a Gransfors Bruk axe. All of these tools could be used as a weapon, but then so could a piece of wood that I pick up. I agree that knives should not be worn in populated areas. I have never been stopped and I think the amount of kit carried would explain what I am doing. Not going to be chasing someone with a full pack, sleeping roll, and canteens clattering around. Anyway, it is just a way of further stripping people's rights away.
Here in Norway, you can't carry a knife at all anymore unless you are out in the forest or hunting (or at work where it's required to do the job).

The guy put his knife in the sheath and drove his kid, and he got stopped at a traffic stop. The man got fined €3000 but it got dropped to €2700. It's all a bit sad, it's really sad actually.
thats crazy man. Especially Norway where there's still so much room for people to enjoy nature. It's a must have tool in the outdoors.

@@DutchBushcraftKnives Yeah, it's a shame that countries with such a long tradition of knife making and carrying. We all get these super strict knife laws due to the rise in knife crimes. It's not like it's gonna change anything for criminals. But I am understanding and I'm all for reasonable knife use and carry. I just wish the laws were a bit more reasonable and understanding of why people might wanna carry a small pocket knife or belt knife (especially in certain areas). It's so easy to forget to take your knife out of the pocket when going to the store or driving to pick something/someone up.

I'm ashamed of my people.
I read tho that in norway, its legal to carry knives, just not weapons. If your knife is a utility knife, and youre carrying it for that prupose (like a small pocket knife for general utility purposes), then youre fine. Of course carrying a bushcraft knife in a shopping center is not a good purpose.
Of course if youre carrying a tactical knife or a knife that is more purpsoe built to be a weapon, like a karambit etc, then its illegal since those are literally designed to be weapons.

I'm a farmer. I always have a knife on me, like most of the farmers i know, especially the old timers. I'm pretty sure all the cops know this but it would never occur to them to confiscate that very needed tool. So, my conclusion is : if you want to carry a knife, get a farm!

well there's a 12in limit.. so no ninja swords or machetes without a permit.., but we have a homeless guy who walks around with a ninja sword on his back and the cops dont say shit, so unless you're brandishing, I doubt most cops would even care.
Wel heel dapper van jullie om dit zo open en eerlijk te zeggen. Ik zeg jullie eerlijk dat ikzelf daar te laf voor ben!
waarvoor? om te zeggen dat het een totale dictatuur aan het worden is?
I moved to the free state of Tennessee. No knife laws and no permits needed to carry firearms. Regulating the law abiding to stop criminals is beyond naive and is dangerous.
Here in America in the states of Kansas and Missouri not only can we buy, possess, and carry any knife we want from gravity knives to switchblades to Bowie knives, but we can open or conceal carry any type of pistol we want as well without needing a permit.
Come home to America, Dutch boys.
You can add Oklahoma and Texas (plus a few others) to the list of places with both unrestricted knife carry and constitutional carry.
I carry a pistol with a “hi-cap” magazine and a knife on each pocket….they aren’t going away
Only 1 magazine?? You should get 2 more, with as high a capacity as possible. But stay away from "ProMag." Their after market hi-cap mags, SUCK!!!!
Me 2
You mean Standard capacity...
@@mattbiek nah, “standard” capacity doesn’t anger the leftys
I have apaches flying overhead 24/7, while people who where displaced by the same apaches are committing knife crime in the streets. Now guess where i'm from
As a German who has a balisong and a ultratech, simply toss your knife where you can get it back easily like a bush if you see police near you
You guys may be a great voice if you can get in touch with a supporting politician. You've made a livelihood out of knives, not dangerous, positivity, a following, etc.
I'm Canadian and feel your pain bros
I'm also Canadian, our rules are actually slowly and I mean slowly getting better lol. Our laws really aren't strict at all tbh
yeah we've heard about the Canadian knife shit.... it's ... well shit...
Especially when you live in the best place to bloody bushcraft!
It's everywhere. Here you get prison if the blade on your folder is longer than 70mm or has a lock
@@ulflyngWhere?
@@DutchBushcraftKnives As far as *actual* Canadian knife laws are considered, there's actually not that many types of knives that are illegal, it's really only gravity knives, automatics and push daggers. The real problem is that the Canadian Border Services Agency is a rogue agency which makes the import of otherwise *legal* knives impossible, due to their truly asinine interpretation of what constitutes a gravity knife. Basically, if it's got a flipper tab or thumb studs, if they can open it part way and then flick it the rest of the way open, they'll call it a gravity knife and confiscate it. Of course, it's not applied evenly either. Knife retailers are perfectly able to import knives with flipper tabs and thumbstuds, but if a regular person tries to purchase a knife through a private sale from outside of Canada and import it, that's when they'll run into trouble.
Beyond that, there's not really any prohibition against carrying knives in public, although it's exceptionally rare to see someone with a fixed blade in public. Legally, non-prohibited knives are considered tools, and so long as you consistently declare that you're carrying a tool and not a weapon, you won't have any trouble.
We have similar problems in Germany. Our politicians are trying to make the weaponslaw harder, but in the recent years people started petitions against it and we could stop it from happening. Especially Jörg Sprave from the Slingshotchannel stood up against those stupid laws. Maybe thats something you should try also!
Jörg really is my favorite uncle
That is what I love about Czech republic. There is no problem about carying axe, katana, double blade dagger, pepper spray, batong.... Love my country!
Pretty sure you can get some unpleasant questions from police if you are carrying katana in public :D
@@4Core100 yeah and that question would be if it is a hattori hanzo katana and you would sadly reply no
Uh oh, what about those dastardly knives that can shank twice at several angles? That sounds far more dangers than a knife!
Im so glad I live in Czech Republic... here you can walk with a sword if you want. Also no stupid restrictions saying autos are bad and huge bowie is ok...
Cheers from Bulgaria!
Not regulated & restricted here and despite EU's best efforts - no such regulation is in plans for the next couple of years, as the public opinion is extremely pro having your tools with you and pro self-defense.
Sure - if you go with a big piece on your belts on a city street police might ask you, but its not forbidden nor arrestable :) At most you will get ID-checked and if not a wanted criminal you will be just asked to conceal, put it away and not bring it “next time”.
For those not parading with their knives - you may carry anything between a toothpick and a katana in your pocket/jacket/backpack/car and you will be fine.
So, may be its time to reallocate DBK to Eastern EU?... 😊
I'm in the UK it's been here a long time now. Still a large amount of knife crime though, it's almost like most criminals just use a kitchen knife or whatever happens to be handy.
Maybe just maybe limit knives from people who haven't lived in the country for x years or people who have committed violent crime?
If you let your government set rules that THEY don’t have to follow than you deserve to loose everything.
Time for the DBK boys to start a fashion trend of wearing an apple dangling from their belts at all times. I’ve heard carrying a pineapple was all the rage at one point during the Victorian Era.
Stop knife hate.
End knife fear.
A knife is THE most useful tool there is. I always have one. You can open things, trim things, start a fire, carve, shave, mark, measure, clean your nails, screw things. I can't believe it when any country restricts them. Anything can be a weapon. A sharpend stick can do as much damage easily. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Imagine living in a society so safe and secure you can't even have a knife
It is called communism.So don't worry but join the build of the Great Communist Empire 2.0.
how you gonna cook ? jokes aside this about people not knives, bad people will exist and they will attack you with rocks, sticks, cars , frying pans, ETC.
@@trix200413we will eat grasshopper protein bars and cockroach cakes,so no need of cooking.
Problem is it's not safe & secure.
Safe and secure?🤣 tard
No matter where you live a tool has no purpose without intention. How you choose to use it is up to you. If you intend a tool to be a weapon, it will be. Shovel, hammer, screwdriver… all very lethal if intended to be so. When are they coming for our shovels and hammers? This shit needs to stop! Politicians are so unaware of the most basic tools for survival.
Great job guys! Much love from here!
Remember YOU employ Politicians, YOU are their Boss, not the other way around.
It's up to the citizens collectively to remove anyone from their position should they not be acting in the peoples best interests.
@@RawTopShot unfortunatley, not in the European Union.
Fists are a lethal weapon, ban hands when? Ridiculous.
So that exactly what they did here in Holland. If your caught anywhere at anytime with something that could be used as something to harm another it's considered a weapon now. That includes everything you just now mentioned.
@@RawTopShotreally...you still believe that?...you understand the system at all? Europe is being ruled through Brussels. Local laws are only small deviations of European laws. And all politicians are sponsored by big companies. It's like this everywhere. They promise a lot and actually achieve nothing worth mentioning. Real problems never get solved. Fake problems get created instead. It's a giant screen play to fool the people to think they have choice. You don't. It doesn't matter who you vote for. Plans are already made. Whatever they want to push through they do. And once you've cast your vote your influence is zero.
They just do whatever they want to do regardless. Nothing that needs solving has been solved to date. In stead every single decision has made things worse and worse.
I live in NYC and carry fixed blades very often in the city and use them for everything from cutting food to opening boxes. Suprisingly NYC actully relaxed its laws regarding folders.
how come a lot of knife retailers don't ship to NYC anymore then ? do you have any idea ?
In the city ? What about stop n frisk ?
@@skyurrik3239 the NY City knife laws changed in 2019. You can carry them now, and handguns! Lots of people dont know the current rules, they CAN ship there.
@@lundysden6781 BHQ was still shipping there in 12/22 but now they won't. Weird
In NYC, knives are the least of your worries right now!
As an American this sounds ridiculous to me. Some states have size, auto flip restrictions and etc, but this is so analogous to the gun debate I’m blown away. You could replace the word knife with the word gun and you made a great argument for gun rights as well. You shouldn’t have to use your fist to fight someone with a kitchen knife the same way you shouldn’t have to use a knife to fight someone w a firearm. These are all TOOLS and like you said, it’s the user that is the problem, not the tool. Stay strapped and stay safe my friends
