The knife is legal and not. the size is within legal limits . The blade is 2.1 inch and the limit is 3 inch. However since like 1998 the law sees any knife that has a lock as a fixed blade, which is illegal. But when i rang the police station up and asked them the legalities of carrying my stuff i answered all their questions and they told me the knife has to be under 3 inch. The multi tool is legal i was told becuase the blade is under 3 inch. What do you think to my edc ? thats what i have on my person . . if i have my coat on i have my spears carrier for the surefire, my sharpening stone, my mp3 player and another backup phone. . .
