Thread: Is it legal to carry a Leatherman?

I used to carry a penknife growing up in Northern Ireland every day except at school. It was a French opinel. Classic and sharp. All my jeans had a hole in that pocket and the denim was worn the shape of the knife
At Uni, I carried a small 6 blade swiss army knife. First job, boss told me to drop it, not allowed at work. Got a Gerber multi-tool a few years later and wore it on my belt. As an Engineer it wasn't a problem. When the sheath wore out I stopped wearing it. I was blade-less for 4years and then one day I got a buck stockman, three-blade. Suddenly I had a blade to cut up my lunch apple, a blade to cut open boxes and a general blade. It's in my pocket all the time except when I'm in dress trousers. I'm naked without it.

The swiss army knife is in my last resort kit in my hunting pack
