Is the Swiss Army Knife still allowed?

Nup

Not even the classic
38mm long, about as dangerous as a toothpick

No, in the real meaning. You must be a craftsman or something.

My pig sticker is made by the same company ... a Vitorinox 10 inch long double edged bayonet with a ribbed handle.

Of course all the sharp things in my hunting kit kept in my ute is in a locked toolbox chained to the seat rail.
Keeps me legal.

My latest is a Hercules, I purchased it just after I bought the rescue tool I carry when I'm working as a volunteer in marine rescue.

You need a seriously sharp knife to cut rope in an emergency, and a one hand opening blade is a must.

No point allowing a tangled rope or sinking boat taking down the rescue boat with it.

But for daily carry, I generally use a wingman, small yet capable
Or my wave, slightly larger, but with more capability.

I have other knives, but they would not be arguable as "tools" if the cops decided to be assholes.

And I like your veiled reference to the victornox craftsman, i have one of those and several others.
I only have a small collection of victronox, but it's growing, I prefer pre-used, after all, they are not so much for carry as they are for collecting.

Keeps you legal and gay. Sorry, but it's the fucking truth.

I carry this all day as an EDC. It's legal to carry in public, in restaurants, and bars, and everywhere in my poor little country Bulgaria. If you don't agree with my country's laws, or with my decision to carry that knife, you can go fuck yourselves in the asses.

Pig's arse!
It's a $500 fine for each blade (not secured) and confiscated ... so I have to fork out for another one.

In the mid to late 90s I had a war against an outlaw club (cost me about $60k, some time in max security, and a portion of my sanity + my inheritance share of the farm). Up until only about 4 years ago the jacks would red flag me and search for weapons ... apparently they expected to find knives (or a 10" shifter) on my person and a fire arm or few on the passenger side floor (or back pack if on a bike).

So until you know what you're on about, keep your ignorance to yourself thanx.
I don't agree with the law/s either, but I don't put shit on someone for complying with it.

As for weapons stashes ... well best tell no-one ... a friend today could be an enemy in 6 months.
eg a bloke and his son at Monto got done for 314 assault rifles and 4.2 tonne of ammo a few years ago.
Must have taken them years or decades to collect that, and some one with a gripe obviously cried copper.

I didn't express myself correctly. I mean, just move. Why stay in such an oppressive place that fucks with your freedoms all and over again. Better dead than live in the equivalent of London. What a fucking shit.

I got an offer to live in Manchester a couple of years ago, refused.
I also got an offer to live near New York, refused.
