All knives are legal to own in the UK, however there are bans on carrying, buying or selling certain types of knife. Banned blades include Butterfly knives, any knife with a 'locking mechanism', sword-sticks, hand claws, push daggers, shurikens, kusari-gamas, etc.
You can legally carry a knife in public provided it is has a folding blade (with no locking mechanism) that is 3 inches long (or less). If the knife is not a folding blade, or has a blade longer than 3 inches, you can only carry it in public provided it is not a banned blade and you have a 'good reason' to be carrying it.

∙ 11y agoIt is not illegal to own a knife in Britain, but it IS illegal to carry one with you when in public, as this is classed as 'possession of an offensive weapon'.
You can own one, but not take it out with you when you go anywhere UNLESS it's a tool for a specific, legitimate job which you are going to or coming from, such as woodworking, forestry, butchery, and other trades that require a sharp instrument.

What are the knife laws in porter county INDIANA?
I can't find any laws that pertain solely to Porter County in terms of knife laws, that means there are no additional knife laws for the county beyond state laws. Indiana is one of the most lenient states in terms of knife laws. There are viturally no laws regarding knives except to forbid knives on school grounds. Ballistic knives are still illegal, of course. But ballistic knives are considered illegally manufactured firearms rather than knives. Throwing stars are illegal as well.

In most states it is not illegal to carry a knife, as long as it is not a knife that is not illegal to carry in public (such as a switchblade knife, butterfly knife, or fixed blade knife). Also a knife should not be concealed, and its blade should not exceed three inches in length. But you should research the relevant laws in your state, as many states laws vary slightly, and sometimes greatly.
