If you’re going to carry a knife, you’ve got to make a decision: Do you want to be the guy with the scary stabby knife that makes you look like Bear Grylls crossed with a Hell’s Angel or something, or do you want something a little more tasteful?
The Gentleman’s Hidden Knife isn’t quiiite as poncy as its name, and its folding-out-of-its-case design is actually pretty cool. It’s $US44 at Garrett Wade. [Cool Material]

Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 3:41 PMIts no different to a pen knife and so I doubt they are illegal in Australia. Though they are illegal to carry without an acceptable reason.

(a) due to its appearance is capable of being mistaken for something else that is not a weapon, and
(b) disguises and conceals within it a single-edged or multi-edged blade or spike of any length or of any material.

Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 9:40 PMWhat is this supposed to be mistaken to be? What is it disguised as? it’s just a folding knife, exactly like a Swiss Army Knife.
This is not illegal IMO, but like, don’t carry knives around with you kids, if a situation ever came up you’ll likely get it taken and used against you.

Sometimes I find myself really needing one, but I don’t have one…

Monday, November 21, 2011 at 12:05 AMYes it is illegal to carry any concealed weapon. Knife, brass knucles, gun etc.
They are all considered concealed weapons. You can get done for carrying a steak knife, box cutter or a swiss army knife. To actually carry one you’ll need a good reason – eg for work, like its in your tool box or something like that.
The law is pretty clear on this.
