Can You Carry a Knife in England? - UK Knife Laws 

Hey as a back up for you, Spyderco are releasing a UKPK salt version this year. I know I'm getting myself one.

U had me in the first half ngl 🤣

😂

@@chuffy3504 If it does not lock it is not going in the water with me

I work at a firework shop and went to open a box of fuses with my automatic knife and some lady told me she would be “contacting the authorities” and “have me put in prison” 😆

Apparently, self defense in any form is illegal.

@@neiljohnson6815 pretty much

I recall reading something about the idea it’s premeditated you plan to hurt a person, even for self defence it’s not legal, one example was putting your keys in your fist etc it’s not their use so you can get prosecuted. Mad really

@@fuddboi yeah, even pepper spray is illegal here.

@@sweetdave540 There, not here.

can be an offensive weapon too in more ways than one :/ ... but so can a newspaper be if you know how to fold it up properly

😂😂😂 when was the last time you saw or heard of anyone getting warned or arrested for carrying around a tin of baked beans....if this was true and happened you can be sure the Daily Mail would be all over it 😂 As for knives, simple way around that, just say it’s for religious purposes 🤔😉😂

yeah maybe if you attempted to hit people with it. before you did that, it was just a tin of beans...

They almost made all food illegal (psychoactive substances act). They had to write a specific amendment to allow it.

That only applies to own-brands...

You legend Beth.

Cake jitsu is my fav form of combat training !!!

I try to carry a cake as well!

Surely a fork is more useful for good cake?!

My friend was attacked by a strawberry gateau. It was horrible finding him like that, jam everywhere. I never leave the house without a knife now

They used to issue us with a Bowie Knife we were allowed to wear when wearing our scouts uniform when I was a youngster...

Agree times have changes, I was a Sea Scout, a sheath knife and a marlin spike was part of the uniform routinely worn on church parade. Remember going camping where I was taught how to use both a machete and a felling axe.

Same as Me.

@@StephenSilverbeard I was in the scouts and it didn't go so well.

@@julianshepherd2038 The only joined as it allowed me to go sailing every weekend.

We can't just carry them around by we do still use large knives and axes (mainly on camps though).

Probably not allowed scouts anymore as they are discriminatory against gender neutrals.

@@djharto4917 🤣

@@djharto4917. In the UK scouts are gender neutral and have been since 2007.

Used to have a Bowie knife and hand axe on my belt when at scout camp. I always carry a small legal penknife except when flying as they will confiscate it even if street legal.

How Romantic

That's right. Ban knives designed to hurt people and they just use a normal everyday kitchen knife.

Knives aren't banned. Carrying them without good reason is. As a gardener I have all sorts in my van including a machete. Thats legal.

@@julianshepherd2038 Some knives are now banned though, as in Zombie Knives or anything with violent graphics :) You also probably don't carry your gardening knives concealed when at the shopping centre...

@@julianshepherd2038 That's right. Having a knife for a legitimate reason such as gardening is legal.

@@shardlake Exactly. Having a knife when working or on the way to a job is legal. If you have a gardening knife at a shopping centre it's rather obvious you're not gardening...

The uk is talking about laws surrounding kitchen cutlery, for fucks sake.

Would it then be correct to say, if asked, that the reason for having such an item about a person is simply that it is entirely legal to do so? Or would it be better to say that no reason for possession is required (given that it breaks no law)? Or to remain silent on the matter?

What about the knifeless rebar from leatherman with a locking awl and saw, so many sites say they are uk EDC legal but I'm pretty sure an awl and saw that locks doesn't fall under the folding exemption, I could be wrong however. Even my 12 year old son reckoned it was "dodgy", appreciate you don't give advice here but wondered what your thoughts were. ;)

I live in the USA. I have carried a pocket knife since about 1991. There are just too many uses for one to not have it handy. The blade size which works best for my uses is about 3 3/8", and 1/2 of the blade is serrated, which works real well for cutting rope. The overall length is "too long" in most communities, according to their ordinances, but I have never been questioned about my tool. It also has a locking blade so that I don't ever have to worry about it closing on my fingers when using it. The fact that this feature is illegal in UK is crazy. It is a safety feature for the person using it.

I think many people do get it and have been brought up that way, me included. I always chuckle when I think back to my time in the Scouts. We'd go on a camp every summer to various places around the UK and usually during our time there the whole troop would end up walking into town. I can picture us now, 30-40 kids 11-16 years old marching into the local market town in our uniforms with 6 and 8 inch Bowies hanging off our belts. Never thought much of it at the time. Not long after I left school, around the age of 17, I got sent on an outward bound course in South Wales. I took a lock knife with me, just a natural thing to do when going out in the wilds. There were another group of kids there from the East End of London and they couldn't believe I was allowed to have a knife on me. I saw it as a tool, they saw it as a weapon. It's about upbringing, environment, education.

@@MrAl68 - Good story. I was an Assistant Scout Master for 5 years while my son was in Scouts. It was a ball. I agree. It must be upbringing. I too never thought of a pocket knife as a weapon. I've never carried anything larger. After 4 years of martial arts training I thought of my hands, elbows, feet, and knees as weapons, but only for defense. Even after that training I never thought of my pocket knife as a weapon. I did train with a bow staff, so if there is a broom handle around, THAT is a weapon, ironically. Still though, only for defense. Even the handgun I carry, I never think of it as an offensive weapon. Only defense, which I hope I will never have to use.

@@1001Hobbies Having had a non locking knife when cutting rope spring out and then cut my finger to the the bone and living in the UK I still when fishing and sailing carry a locking blade so I agree - I prefer my fingers to be whole and that's the point of a locking blade mind you when i was young and in the scouts part of the uniform we had to wear was a sheaf knife pretty sure that was over 3" but back then we used to go to camp with felling axes and chop trees down which these days would horrify health and safety peeps

@@1001Hobbies never had a slip joint fold on my fingers if it happens 95% of the time you're to blame for not using it correctly.

If you watched the video you'd understand, if you have a purpose for carrying the leatherman, you can still legally do so. Who on earth would want to go around carrying one on their hip when out to the shops? It looks somewhat "special". For daily carry like that I have used a victorinox sak for the last 3 decades. I have a Bantam on my car keys but always on my person I carry a Classic SD and despite its diminutive nature it's done everything I've asked of it. I can't say I've ever needed my leatherman when out and about on the street. Equally despite using them for over 2 decades, I can't say I've missed a locking blade either when needing a knife out and about. If you're cutting something with the blunt edge of the knife, you're doing it wrong and if I'm doing anything heavy duty where I know I will want a fixed blade, say out hunting on a permission (rabbit guts do gunk up the folding mechanisms of knives wonderfully) then it's legal for me to bring a nice sharp fixed blade knife.

If youy need a multitool you can get some bladeless ones, but yeah... It's still messed up.

@ it's like you didn't watch the video. You don't need a bladeless multitool in the UK. You need a use for it. Are you in the habit of buying useless things?

@@lmaoroflcopter I've worked in more than one place where they have a no blade policy (Ocado for instance) and that's where the bladeless multitool comes into play. Other than that there are also different models from the same brand that have blades that can, or not, be considered "locking blades". Point in case, the Leatherman Kick that I've had for over a decade. It's an entry level model that has a blade that technically doesn't lock, but it's very effective in a stabby stabby motion type thing. Would that be legal? I can open and close it just like the blades in the video and its lenght is within the limit so can I EDC it with no issues?

@ providing it's blade is under 3 inches and it doesn't lock it's fair game and you can carry it without needing a purpose (few other caveats but he goes over them in the video) I worked in B&Q and used a Stanley knife (retractable but it locked in position) every day. Ocado may have a no knife policy but that's ocado, not the UK. If you need a blade, you can use a blade.

As said by Paul Hoga as Crocodile Dundee.

I Don't carry a Kay- nife in public. I carry a petrol powered Stihl Saw for .... eh work reasons. those chains & padlocks are not going to open by them selves.

This could be a general mantra for life

It's weird but people get stabbed here all the time!

@@tuscan666 Yeah, shows what good that "Knife control" is doing

Yes. Especially as almost all stabbings involve kids with kitchen knives, not adults with expensive folders. Strangely, criminals don’t obey laws.

I only have 1 knife that doesn’t lock. It’s a Swiss army!

@@tuscan666 Because the law is not being up held ,prosecutions are not harsh enough for criminals .Simple .

My 8yr old has my swiss army penknife my parents gave me when I was a young lad. He take it everywhere with him.

My 10 Yr old lad has a victorinox huntsman, he loves it and is getting a mora when he's eleven, he knows that knives are tools and not weapons. All about education imo.

Same.

You can't carry it though, it just means those curved swords are not banned outright.

oh so thats why this one guy in my town used to walk around witha sword strapped to his waist line lol the guy was apparently a proper nutter

@@djsubliminalreeve 😂 sounds it, to be fair I'm sure he rarely got any trouble highway men and bandits carrying it, local constabulary another matter though

That's an exemption for Sikh ceremonial blades (kirpan).

@@CristiNeagu I believe from what I remember that the sikh tradition of carrying a blade is quoted in the legislation as being a a valid reason for carrying a blade, I'd recommend everyone go and look at it online it's an interesting read, my favourite is the "definition" of a blowpipe, a word to the wise don't carry one of those metal straws anymore 😂

It depends on the mood and knowledge of the PC I would say

@@IanSmith465 - Nope. The law is the law. Ask to speak to a Sergeant.

Correct. The ricasso doesn't count. However,ci wouldn't rely on that keeping you from wearing cuffs, until your barrister arrives!

@@steamboatwillie8517 - Assuming you mean Solicitor (You wouldn't need a Barrister unless it went to Crown Court), I never use one. Always had bad advice, to the point I'm convinced they work for the Magistrates. Handcuffs are possible, but only until a Serg. gets on scene (although I'm well known enough that most don't bother anymore, they know I respect the game). Most Constables will double check rather than risk an unlawful arrest, as long as you explain in a polite manner and don't act like an idiot. Worst case scenario is a quick trip to see the Desk Serg. at the custody suite and laughing whilst he gives the arresting Officer a dressing down for being an idiot. Usually you get an apology, a lift to where you were originally heading, and anything else they feel will stop you from officially complaining. I even got a McDonald's once.

@@johnwalshaw7362 interesting. I said barrister, as most solicitors don't have a clue...however.. I was writing more extravagantly than accurately ;0) I doubt it would bother me, as I'm over 70, and my pocket knife complies with EDC needs. Thanks for the reply though ☺️

Im a car valeter.. I recently had an awkward encounter with a bored copper (earning the hate)... He arrested me while I was working for being in possession of a fixed bladed weapon. A window scraper. Its a plastic handle and has a stanley blade in the end to scrape the window. After 20 mins, of me telling the thick jobsworth how wrong he was and him making a couple of calls and him struggling to read the long words on his phone, he dearrested me, gave me a cop lecture about knife crime and buggered off... No apology (tosser)

@TJ Murphy why would any normal person NOT carry a knife?

@TJ Murphy is that all it takes to become a criminal? Carry a knife?

i don't a problem with that

You can have a fixed blade filleting knife whilst fishing. As long as it stays inside the fishing box or rod bag etc when not fishing. Its a knife for a purpose. The law on legal carry is more for if you've gone walking camping etc and you carry a small penknife that's OK. It's not however ideal to go for a drink and carry a penknife because there is absolutely no reason to be carrying one when pubbing and clubbing. If you carry one just say to yourself "will I need my penknife with me?" Use common sense.

@@edward.l.h7450 lol

Absolutely a reasonable reason, unlike those who carry a knife just because they can... with no real reason. Like the dude who’s channel this is!

Of course. You can't gut a fish with a spoon.

Awesome! Thank you!

Absolutely bonkers man.

Did you get his ID? Report him for abuse of power.

If one was intent of harm they will do the harm with whatever a bat rolling wrench shovel crow bar frying pan list is endless of the cant use fists. The hysteria surrounding knife crime is enough to make us all use chopsticks even they are deadly in the wrong ku g fu handed. If you want to kill some one your highly unlikely to be stopped on the way to do it. Its the causes of youth crime that need addressing and perhaps zombie knives and Rambo knives are only for the zombies and Rambo.

I don’t think we are allowed to defend ourselves, they much rather we just die and be legal.

We're not allowed to. I knew a lady back in the 90's ( tall and quite scary ), she caught this lad trying to steal her lawnmower from her shed. She gave him quite a beating, but then was arrested later for assaulting him. 😐

You May defend yourself using “minimum necessary force”:- You knock someone down, and you then can gtf outta there. You knock em down & then keep kicking them while down, yup, that’s assault.

Reasonable force only... Theres a lawyer/court enriched path ahead on which to tread very carefully along.

@@sahhull, yup. One officer, two people, yup, I can see that being reasonable. Two officers, one man tank, yup, I can see that being reasonable. One 4’8”, 92lb suspect & 4 officers, naaaah, no way would cuffing be reasonable.

Is it ok to carry a non folding 3”knife

You missed the point. Anyone of age can carry non-locking knives under 3” without needing a reason. You can carry the buck knife or pretty much anything else provided that you have a good reason for doing so. You can carry a machete or kukri if you're gardening etc but not if you're strutting about town at night.

Glad it was helpful!

That's my favourite EDC knife too 😀

A little biker plus XS for me, nice strong blade and very well made. Used to carry a Dog Slipzilla but, it was always too difficult to open one handed.

'An offensive weapon is a tool made, adapted or intended for the purpose of inflicting physical injury upon another person'. Seems clear to me.

@@MajorJimPlays inflicting injury for the purpose of defence would make it a defensive weapon no?

@@samsniper2000 In UK law that distinction does not exist.

Well, someday fists could be considered as such. As if we're specialists, trained for the kill. I personally see no point in arguing the logic behind. Cause it's malicious intent itself, considering tools as evil or all people are with ulterior motives. What happened to the, innocent until proven guilty? This, simply, is a reaction of the need for suppressing certain type of characters within the horde. That's why this movement has no borders and is a trend around various regions in the world. Reminds me of the classical Big Brother concept. Otherwise, everyone knows bad guys do not prefer :) licensed / registered weaponry :D and do not care for laws for that matter...

@@mimimmimmimim No they could not. They are appendages.

Bought one years ago, the flat grind version without the serrations. It's okish. I use a Real Steel Luna now, UK legal, better blade steel, a good price and they're available still.

There is a defence in the legislation that covers if you're carrying at as a national costume.

Unfortunately, according to UK law, safe knives are illegal.

That ease of folding would put most off using it as a weapon but, I take your point.

@@cliffb2454 No, it wouldn't... 1. Non locking blade knives don't fold so easily, especially when stabbing. 2. No one goes out to stab people with a Swiss army pocket knife when you can buy 10 inch kitchen knives in any store. That restriction deters no one and saves no lives. It only leads to accidental injury due to the knife folding on your fingers.

@@CristiNeagu As I said, I take your point. Folding knives can be more dangerous than a locked blade. I also standby my point. A folding knife does not make a good weapon as you may end up harming yourself.

@@cliffb2454 But your point is irrelevant.

sounds like you should legalize and regulate all drugs, first off theres no reason why someone should be put in prision of fined for putting a chemical in thier body. Secendly it'd get rid of the revenue for these street gangs and the would dwimndle in number befor all but disappering. Thirdly regualted drug markets would insure pure unadulterated products at prices the coud pay for rehab for anyone who needed it with a small portion of the tax revenue. also the drugs could be made cheaper which would mean opeople wouldnt have to rob and steal to get a fix. Alcohol is far ore complex to make then drugs yet no one is burgerlizing home for booze money; becuase its affordable. And the people that choose to use will save yoou money in the long run as they will diminish thier life pan and cost less retiremnt payouts. seems like a win for everyone involved; well beside the self rightous do gooders that believe they have a right to dictate how other lead thier lives.

They are not illegal if they lock. They are just counted as a fixed blade which is not illegal, you just need a valid reason to have it on you.

A knife is a tool, not a weapon. It can be used as a weapon but so can just about anything. Even a newspaper (see Millwall brick). If knives didn't exist the unscrupulous would and do use other things.

@@woodlandbiker true, literally anything is a tool and weapon depending on the operator controlling it. My personal.improvised weapon is a wall. But the knife laws are under the offensive weapons act not the tool act .

Thing about uk laws tho. It's basically a guide on what's always gonna be safe to have not was only allowed. You can carry a 10 inch fix bladed knife legally you just need a valid reason to have it but their basically is no valid reason over you liking the knife. I have ever found anything a 3 inch blade can't do over a larger blade in everyday life. So their is no need for a larger blade.

in my opinion you shouldn't need a reason but oh well

What if everyone else on your street is carrying?

Very welcome!
