pocket knives in Great Britain?

[legal traveler]

I haven't been in England in a number of years and would like to know what the laws are regarding carrying a pocket knife in Great Britain. My daily carry knife is a Strider SMF and I'm assuming that won't be in my pocket. I have smaller blades but they all lock...do I need to buy something like Spyderco's UK Pen Knife?

Thanks for the help.

Nothing but sub 3" slipjoints I'm afraid, no locks allowed (unless with a reasonable excuse, such as job reasons, but i wouldn't risk anything)

thanks for the quick response. Does the Spyderco UK Pen Knife qualify?

I would be incredibly suprised if it didn't. Spyderco is marketing it as such.

The UKPK is fine for edc in the UK it is what I carry
