I tend to carry an old electricians knife with me when working, hunting or fishing. I don't carry it when out and about with no rason to carry a blade.
Scotland is the worlds knife crime capital, hence the police are very hard on people found to be carrying a knife or blade.
read vegas's comment above to see how this has affected joe average here.....he's spot on.
those who care about not getting into trouble are the worst hit as per usual!
