I know I'm a sign nut.

Didn't they want to outlaw everyday knives in England because of all the stabbings? Any Brits to confirm or deny?

You are not allowed to carry a 2 inch plus blade, I have even been asked if I should be carrying my Leatherman supertool - when I explained that I am an engineer and use it for work - that seems ok.
 
i just check my pocket knife and the blade is 5 inches long
i guess i would be in 2 and 1/2 times the trouble.
i do get some funny looks when i whip it out to cut my steaks
if i have it in a holster they do not like it at the casinos so i have to go back to my car remove the holster and put the knife in my pocket then every one is happy

First trip to UK. I was in pub with a Brit coworker (from Doncaster? sp). He was braggin when he was younger they were always brawling. I told him where I came from (Houston), picking a fight for the fun of it may get you killed. He said, nothing to worry about here, even pocket knives are illegal. (I'm carrying my 3" Gerber like I have for the past 20 yrs.) I asked him -why the h*ll didn't you tell me that when I asked you what I needed to watch out for before the trip. He said "who carries knives?"

Cultural differences.

After that - I ALWAYS check laws when I travel. France has some strange knife laws as well.

Is anyone else feeling the breath of AUSTRAC on their neck or have I bought something off a terrorist or criminal?
