Isn't the legality of a knife purely where it is at the time.

No. There are laws which make some knives completely illegal. For example, butterfly knives and automatic openers.

You do have a valid point though, I've got a huge kukri on my mantelpiece, completely legal. If I was to carry it out and about without a good reason then yes it would be illegal.

As someone who goes through headphones like they do dishwater, these are fantastic. The outer plastic is softer than cheese though, be careful as it dents and scratches like crazy. The sound quality is fantastic though, although my standards aren't all that high.
 
Thanks, that has been added to my reading list. Vulcan 607 was a thoroughly engrossing book and the Space Shuttle era is just as fascinating.
 
Just FYI the whole saying it for work so its legal has a grey area. You are allowed to have it AT work, but for example if you pop to the shop across the street with the knife in your pocket and the police stop you, if they are having a badday they will say you don't have a reason to have it and arrest you and theres nothing you can do about it. You have to be very careful about it as the "purpose" part of the law is left up the officer who stops you.

I would carry around a small penknife at all times, but you risk getting on the bad side of a police officer.

You can carry that in the UK without needing a reason. You can't go to a pub etc with it though.
