That's untrue.

If the blade is under 3 inches (and isn't lockable) you're allowed to carry it.

If the blade is longer than 3 inches you need a valid reason to carry it.

It's not automatically legal to carry a blade under 3 inches,

(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, this section applies to any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed except a folding pocketknife.

(3)This section applies to a folding pocketknife if the cutting edge of its blade exceeds 3 inches.

The three inches is clarification around folded pocketknives, it's not blanket authorisation to carry knives less than that length.
