I've got a "Gerber Crucial Multi Tool" that I bought from "Go Outdoors". I assumed with it being Go Outdoors that it would be a legal thing to carry around. However I've been told to check the law on it as I want to have it in a bag in the boot of my car for emergencies (along with other emergency things such as tools, blankets, water, etc...). The multi-tool has a philips and flat head screen driver, pliers, bottle opener and a short blade that locks.

Is it legal to have this multi-tool in the boot of my car for emergency uses?

Is It Illegal If.....

Sapelesam, the way I read hc’s link, the “legal under 3 inches” doesn’t apply to lock knives. I think its a stupid clause because lock knives are much safer than the non locking kind.....can’t see what the issue is....maybe someone knows?
