Sadly also illegal as some people might feel threatened by it :(

You can carry an opinel or laguiole afaik?

[โ€“] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not for defense. You can carry a knife like when you also carry food because you can justify needing it. You can't carry a knife without such reason

I need the knife to cut food at my destination though

Not anymore. All knives are now banned in public because apparently we are toddlers. Or they think that terrorists won't find any way to hurt people now. Because surely legality is where any knife murderer draws the line...

Edit : I think laguioles and swiss army knives are still ok since they have no blade lock. But apparently there is now zero legal difference between my extrema ratio knife (which is admittedly really blurring the line between EDC and "tactical" knife) and an Opinel.
