I have a general idea of why I might/might not be able to carry around a Swiss Army Knife after reading https://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/find-legal-answers/criminal-…
I have been carrying the SAK for a few months now and I just stumbled across the legislation of prohibited and dangerous articles which I believe are a bit ambiguous. The SAK I use is primarily for work however I carry it all the time even when I am not working as I find it comes handy in certain situations such as mending, fixing and unboxing items. Should I continue to do this or is there a risk of the SAK being confiscated when I am not using/possessing it explicitly for work? I would appreciate your views on this issue!
I'd like to know too. I carry one all the time in my handbag - I rarely use the blades but often need use of the scissors, can opener, tweezers. I use it almost daily.
I started carrying it around when my kids were young in case they locked themselves in public toilets so that I could use the screwdriver attachment to open the lock from the outside (apparently a coin works too).
