my dad carries a 5inch lock knife (has done for years) its never been used its just there in his brefcase lol and i have a 3.5inch lock knife but only used that for cuting stuf EG zip ties

He'll get done if caught carrying it in a public place.

In his briefcase perhaps not especially if he was on his way to/from work and he had an excuse for needing at work. but you never know.

^ he has no excuse just done it since about 1996 was a gift from his work lol, and never had any place to put it with me been young (could open draws even with latches) and has stayed in various breefcases ever since, in a black belt holster thing (obv not on his belt)

I wouldn't do it, especially if this might prompt them to check the boot!

nether would i but hey ho its his own doing if he gets caught, might pinch it off him lol he would never know

I don't know the regs, but maximum for carrying in a public place is a 3 inch blade and it can't be a lock knive

A samuri sword is ok as long as it is not sharpened or something.
Not really conclusive, but just I think I remember hearing that.

I think it's a can of worms this knive business.

^LOL so i can carry a sword thats not sharp but im sure i can still impale some one with it :/

Bah don't trust me, I don't really know.

I personally wouldn't chance it.

no but i also think i have head that befor but just realised that you can still kill some one with a blunt swoard lol mind u wouldent suprise me if it were true with our sensible laws......

They'd most likely do you for carrying an offensive weapon if you strolled about swinging a blunt samarai sword over your head.

Apparently, it's an offence to carry a baseball bat, but not if you have a ball as well.
