I thought exactly what the OP did, WTF.
Caught carrying a knife with no reasonable excuse or use a knife as weapon when committing offence immediate 30 years.
I would happily pay another £500 a year in tax to support that.
"No reasonable excuse". Great. That fCaught carrying a knife with no reasonable excuse or use a knife as weapon when committing offence immediate 30 years.

king bullst again.It's bad enough already with how they've decreed that you need to justify yourself for carrying a perfectly normal pocket knife, don't go making it worse for all the sensible, normal people, deal directly with the scummers for being scummers.

I have managed 50 years without one in my pocket.

Why does anyone need to carry a knife then Dave?

Now you are going to get a response from someone - I suspect the sort of person who might carry their wallet on a chain, and may be works in the facilities arm of IT so crawls under desks - and they’ll say they need it for their job. Maybe they do. But really not anywhere in public ever you do. Even in a bag. I have managed 50 years without one in my pocket.

"Need".I have managed 50 years without one in my pocket.
Because I bloody well want to.
If you want to carry a folding pocket knife under with a blade equal to or under 7.62 cm, then you're in luck!

I use a Stanley knife every day for my job on housing sites and always carry it on me, now I’m on a site but I also walk on roads where public have moved into their new homes.I have managed 50 years without one in my pocket.
Admittedly the blade is sometimes as sharp as a spoon but we always carry it as I use it throughout the day.

We don't all work in offices- some of us do actually have jobs where we do physical things. A knife is a fairly basic tool.I can imagine it's quite difficult to draft a law that can determine when carrying a knife (or "blade") is reasonable and when it isn't yet I suspect on a case by case basis we could probably all make a pretty good judgement.
If you're a carpet fitter out in your van working or even on a lunch break I'm sure it's perfectly reasonable that you might have a carpet knife within close reach?
If you're me there's no good reason you'd ever find me with that sort of thing unless I'd just gone and purchased it in which case can you just walk around with one in the packaging?
The whole situation seems an awful mess and if you went with your gut reaction you'd have prisons literally full of people caught carrying knives.

The knife is inanimate and the knife can only perform its carriers will.
If knives suddenly stopped existing there would be a sharp rise in cricket-bat crime, beer-bottle crime, knuckle-duster crime and at the most distasteful end of the scale we would see an increase in deliberately-running-people-over crime.
If you really want to go outside of the law and hurt somebody then you will do so, irrespective of the legislation surrounding pocket knives.
I argue that the knife is an inert and inoffensive tool much like a vice or a simple flathead screwdriver - both of which, coincidentally, can be used in an illegal manner.
The problem is with d1ckheads - we don’t need to ban knives we need to ban d1ckheads. I propose that we organise a nationwide dhead Amnesty in which they can all be handed over to the authorities and disposed of, after which we can carry whatever we bloody well choose.
Comments?

I've carried a properly nasty ('Bowie'-style hunter's) knife 'in public' when I go kayak fishing. It's regarded as an essential piece of safety equipment, in case you fall off the kayak and get tangled in rod/paddle leashes, etc. You carry it strapped to your leg or on your PFD for immediate access. Often launch from busy public beaches.Divers carry them for the same reason.
