Aren't those classed as offensive weapons now; I heard Glasgow jokes were  
one of the biggest causes of death in some parts of Scotland?

inches long. It also has a nail file and a tiny pair of scissors so I could give
you a pretty vicious manicure. The knife blade is always kept sharp enough to
cut paper.
As for the Glasgow jokes, received wisdom says it's classed as suicide ;)

Sorry, could you repeat that a bit more slowly. Did you say it in Gaelic?

Anything with a blade or a point except a folding knife unless it has an  
edge over 3 inches in length. That said you can get away with it if it's  
for either a) work, b) education, c) religion, or d) national costume;  
note that e) hobby doesn't appear so extreme whittlers can be locked up  
for the safety of us all.

Nicolas managed to decipher my thick Brummie accent correctly.

I'm from Glesgie so that makes it c) religion, d) national costume, if I tuck it
in my sock and a) work, if you go back a few decades. 
So I'm probably safe from Stop And Search. Do you know how hard it is to cut
paper at least with a clean edge?

You're lucky, no one understands me except for my wife and she understands me
only too well ;)
