I'm pretty sure that's nearly duplicate of Michigan law.
However, it's made out to be a ban on "knives" and the Brit police have been intentionally quiet about what knives are legal, giving the impression that all knives are illegal.
Well, the only "legal" pointy thing is the folder less than 3.5 inches- that pretty much leaves everything else I carry in the "illegal" category.
The UK law does not ban knives- it bans anything with a blade or point!
The branch lopper I use to cut the dead palm fronds down with would probably give them fits! It extends to over 12 feet and has a 12 inch saw blade as well as the branch lopper at the end!
Gloucestershire police described this knife as "terrifying".
