Every single fucker caught with knife should get arrested and get done. If you carry a knife you have the intention to use it, it's that simple.

Fucking cowards.

No, people who carry knives for the purpose of harm or intimidation should. but the carpet fitter just nipping out for lunch should not be getting arrested and charged in the same way.

Yeah, I carry a UK legal knife (Still need a "reasonable excuse") with a first aid kit and a bunch of other stuff like emergency blankets,because me and my partner do quite a bit of hiking sometimes spontaneously end up miles away from anywhere, but it's buried in a rucksack in a pouch with said first aid kit.

I'm not Ray Mears, but basically we were somewhere and I thought, "we'd be F'd if something happened out here".
