No Reason Needed: Carrying Non-Locking Folding Knives in the UK

In the United Kingdom, you can legally carry a non-locking folding knife with a blade length of up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) without needing a specific reason.

Key Points to Consider:

• Blade Specifications: The knife must have a non-locking, folding blade that does not exceed 3 inches in length.

• Usage: Even though carrying such a knife is legal, using it in a threatening manner is against the law. GOV.UK
