Not worth carrying a knife in Uk regardless of size/folding/locking, most cops don’t know the in’s and outs of knife laws and only know the first sentence "any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed" in a public place.
Sadly although its your right to carry a sub 3inch non locking folder except school grounds etc, you need to consider if its worth your day being ruined going to jail and a several month letter writing battle with the CPS and hiring a lawyer. Seen a few guys go through this nonsense with legal knifes. Would love to carry a pen knife but not willing to put up with any PC shiney buttons ruining my day/year.

The police also stopped an old bloke the other day carrying garden shears
Another law that scares me is the legal limit for air rifles. 12ftlbs. In the past it didn't matter so much but now there is a minimum 5yrs for any firearms offence.
You could buy a 2nd hand air rifle. If it got checked out and was found to be 13 or 14ft lbs you could get 5 years in jail
I know someone who carries a swiss army knife, I've often wondered what would happen if he was stopped with it, it's less than three inches and not locking but as a student he's really got no need for it. Never seen him use it anyway, I'm pretty sure it just helps him feel hard.
My r10 is 11.7ftlbs with jsb heavys so any other pellet is under that.
