First of all,we want to point out that in no way do we here intend this section to be legal advice,only pointers to where statutes can be found. For definitive answers one is best off consulting your local law enforcement agencies or prosecutor's office.
Micky D one of the moderators wrote a post that serves as well or better than anything I could add,and I quote entirely:
"I'd like if possible, for the members here to put forward there local laws concerning the carriage of Sak's/Multi's in their States/Countries, as quite often the choice of multi you want to carry can often boil down to wether or not it's legal edc.
Obviously we at Multitool.Org are not responsible for the information, and it's up to the user to check local and applicable laws for themselves.
But having said that, for those of us new to the forum or those just unsure of how street legal that lump of metal in your pocket really is , it could be valuble to have some information posted up here for everyone's attention, plus if you live in Americas or Canada and want to travel to Britain or Europe or elsewhere, you might find you have to leave your favorite Multi at home, or run the risk of a diplomatic incident
So please post your laws (to the best of your knowledge) below"
Any links you may have that pertain to knife laws and carry,are welcome.
