Hi TheLem,
I am from Spain, and the law is very simple. Don't carry it!
You are only allowed to carry any knife during an activity that requires its use, for example while hunting, fishing or camping. Also, law in Spain forbides the carring of the posession of any folder with a blade longer than 11cm (4.33 inches), automatic or gravity knives, daggers with blades shorter than 11cm (4.33 in.) and cane swords.
Hope that helps,
Tbar

Yup, at least those are now legal to own. We were lucky that the law changed, before all "short double edged knives" were forbidden, the short part depending mostly on the eyes of the police officer. In most cases they were not actually checking your blades but ogling them, or I must say perusing for their own use
I group of friends and I had a small summer business organizing adventure camps, and the local police (in this case Guardia Civil) would come to the camp to check the knives. We were so tired of having them keeping our knives and even worst, the knives of our clients, that we would take names and go next day to the police quarters to make sure that the illegal knives where destroyed. One day I was so pissed off that I broke myself the blade of a wonderful Aitor folder before having one of them own it. :grumpy:
The end of the story? One day the son of a high rank officer of the Guardia Civil was in one of our camps. The local corporals came to our camp to check the knives and took the one he was carrying. He smiled, let them go, ask me for my cell phone and call his father. Last I heard from those two policemen, they were counting trees in a National Park in Estremadura, an area in Spain very similar to the Badlands Karma, I suppose
