I went walking up in the dales at the weekend and made sure i had all my first aid kit etc. I also put my grandads Pen knife (A scout knife with a blade about 4" long) in my combat pocket.

While i was walking i suddenly wondered what would have happened if i'd been stopped and searched in Leed train station.

In that situation, where it was obviously to be used as tool while hiking, would i have been let off or yanked to the station?

Anyone know about this blurring of the knife laws?
