The thing is carrying a knife is not the problem, sticking in someone is.
It's all about context.
If I'm off wild camping, I'll have my trusty bushcraft knife with me along with all my kit.
I've always got a multi tool with me with a blade on it, even driving in London every night.
So, common sense has got to be applied here.
If just carrying a knife equals big jail time the offenders will just carry a large screwdriver or something.
Anything can be a deadly weapon.
