You can have them, and you can even carry them in public if you have a good reason. Poster said "these are illegal" and that's not true.

A "good reason" doesn't seem to include "because it's convenient to have", which is the reason for a lot of people.

UK is extremely restrictive with their knife laws according to their own page. I don't know why you're trying to depict it otherwise. I'm not even taking a side here.

I agree the UK knife laws are restrictive. But parent poster said "these knives are illegal in UK" -- they're not.

Which they're not. There are certain uses are not considered legitimate, but there are legal ways to carry these knives in public.
