| Description | The Seax gave its name to the Saxon people and is consequently part of English sub-culture. Some types were also known as the Scramaseax (or food knife, or where the word ‘Scran’ comes from.) The Lang Seax was the long version and possibly like a small sword. The Seax was part knife, wood axe, machete, and weapon, and was usually worn on the belt hanging at the front of the body for ease of access. As a weapon it would have been very hard to parry and would have been a powerful strike. It could be long or short and is quite distinctive. It was carried long after the Battle of Hastings. It is part of England’s heritage, and at one time it was the sign of an English Freeman or Woman. They are an object of beauty. The Seax sold by us can hack down a tree as well as make good family heirlooms, or mantle pieces, and are a true sign of being English. An English family should be proud to own one. It is made of steel and is bone handled. |

Feb 03 2010 08:05 PMThe phrase "good reason" is intended to allow for "common sense" possession of knives, so that it is legal to carry a knife if there is a bona fide reason to do so. Examples of bona fide reasons which have been accepted include: a knife required for ones trade (e.g. a chefs knife), as part of a national costume (e.g. a sgian dubh), or for religious reasons (e.g. a Sikh Kirpan).
In this case, public place is meant as anywhere accessible to the public, so for example a private campsite, which members of the public must book to use, is a public place. Also, knives should only be carried to and from and used at the location where they are needed. For example, leaving a knife in a car for use when you go fishing would be illegal. It should be taken back into the house each time you use the car (other than to go fishing). [1]
The special exception which exists in the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (s139) for folding knives (pocket knives) is another "common sense" measure accepting that some small knives are carried for general utility however even a folding pocket knife of less than 3" (76mm) may still be considered an offensive weapon if carried or used for that purpose. It was a long held common belief that a folding knife must be non-locking for this provision to apply.
A Crown Court case (Harris v DPP), ruled (case law). A lock knife for all legal purposes, is the same as a fixed blade knife. A folding pocket knife must be readily foldable at all times. If it has a mechanism that prevents folding, it's a lock knife (or for legal purposes, a fixed blade) The Court of Appeal (REGINA - v - DESMOND GARCIA DEEGAN 1998) upheld the Harris ruling stating that "folding was held to mean non-locking". No leave to appeal was granted.

Evening Randwulf,
Ceremonial daggers are permitted in public places according to religious traditions however it should be sheafed in a suitable scabbard, obviously if you start flashing it about down the high street after a few jars the plod will throw away the key.
hope this helps.

Pity that you didn't stick to being informative, Monkeywarrior, instead of being the dickhead you turned out to be.
