Banana spam (was: Non lockung multitools regarding local knife laws)

Ive got a question to the "locals" around the world regarding their knife laws.
Here in europe we got the whole range of laws, from "we dont care" (austria) to "better keep your scissors at home" (UK).

My issue is with the non locking rule, for example in the UK, france, italy, spain afaik.
Now there are some MTs that have no locking blade, but the handles prevent the blade from folding in when closed, for example:
- old Mr Pinchys
- old LMs (PST, PSTII, Flair)
- SOG PPP, Paratool

All these tools are non locking, but: how are they handled in real life? Are these tools considered locking or non locking in your country?
I worry about this since I travel a lot and dont want to mess with the police far from home.

Any experiences?

In the UK, it is presumed that they are non locking, but if it went to court??? Also, even if it's non-locking 3" or less, it's still a bladed article, so you have to be mindful of that in public spaces, train stations etc... and if it's flashed about or percieved to be used in a threatening manner, then (under law) it becomes an offensive weapon, but that could technically apply to anything eg. an umbrella.... or a stick... or a frozen banana....

I hate it when mobs get armed with frozen bananas

Well for some, the looking down the pointy end of a frozen banana would be a horrific ordeal. However, I have been trained in self defense against fruit. Yes even black and red cherries. Now pointy sticks on the other hand......

You want me to trust you with one of my pointy sticks? Are you having a laugh? You'd have to promise to attend one of my annual 'Responsible use of a pointy stick' weekend seminars. If you pass the final exam you receive a certificate licencing you to use a pointy stick in public. Other successful attendees have gone on to great things - one of my most promising students is now the Official Pointy Stick Bearer for the Prince of Zimbabwe.
