Precisely.
When the law came out I was incensed that they seemed to be banning pen/pocket knives. Not only was it part of being a lad when I was younger, I usually have one in my pocket these days as they often prove useful. Then I discovered it was only the large, clearly carried for public nuisance/disorder/violence reasons that were being banned, so not such an issue.
That said it probably means you have to sharpen your own kitchen knives these days as how or you to get them to the hardware shop otherwise :-)

Kitchen knives are not manufactured for causing injury.
Looking at the rules from the link, they seem weird. Never owned a lock knife but knowing the danger of a pen knife trying to close itself as it is being used, I'd suggest that a lock was a safety feature, not something to define a banned item !

i work in pro kitchens it is normal for a chef to carry his/her own knives around from job to job.They have to be in a case or a 'knife roll' (canvas pack), but working as a chef is accepted as a reason to carry knives that an ordinary person would not be allowed. Chefs most valued possessions are their knives as without them they could not earn a living.

and here is a more stupid thread on knives:

The law has significantly changed since my fave
Offensive Weapons Act 1936
carrying knives to be sharpened
and butchers carrying their stuff (in the boot not under the seat) too and fro were covered and clearly lawful
I am not sure if there is still the clear division between obviously unlawful - chair leg studded with nails
and could be lawful - butcher carrying stock in trade (the knives not human carcases) or swiss army knife on a nature trek.
I would worry about carrying a swiss army knife to a football match.
