Of course it's possible that the law has been tightened by another Act of Parliament, so it would be worth looking into it further. It's also possible that there are specific laws relating to what you are allowed to take onto the London Eye, in the same way as there are for aircraft.

dreadnought110:
Wolfie, read the scout link as well that has about the locking blades it makes no difference on blade length it's illegal???

Bulli:
they must be misinterpreting the law. I cannot understand how an item can be illegal and still readily available for sale. You cannot buy flick knives as they are illegal. Surely you would not be able to sell an illegal item??
Locking bladed knives are by far safer in use then folding knives. I use one regularily at work.

Wolfie:
Cheers,

Missed the bit about locking blade. All is clear now (well less unclear)

I'll just have to be more careful about which knife I carry around with me, but I'll keep the locking blade knife on my harness for rope rescue purposes - I'm not compromising my safety when dangling over huge amounts of nothing!

regards

Wolfie

:) No worries it just gets me as to how few people( including me!) didn't know this and could have got into trouble..
