I'm not sure this really fits here but I couldn't really find a better category...
I'm considering buying a penknife (just a cheap one, nothing fancy - mainly want it for the corkscrew) but was wondering about the legalities of carrying it around with me. Does anyone know if I would be breaking the law to have it with me in either the UK, France or Norway?
Thanks!

I'm not really sure about it but I know that most airports are strict with stuff like this. I think you should file a document for this possession when traveling.

It depends on the place your visiting and the type of penknife your bringing.
Let say it is less than 2 inches I think its ok..

Hello Jenn,

With regards to France and Norway, I don´t know what the regulations are. However, as far as I remember, a pen knife with a blade of less than three inches is legal in the U.K.

This ruling may have been changed, so therefore one should claify the above with the British Embassy.

Best wishes
