Well, I'm leaving for the airport in just a short time, and realized that I wasn't sure if I could have my Benchmade 3" folder in Denmark. Anybody know?

I am not sure if it is legal to own but it is NOT legal to carry.

Danish laws certainly prevent the carrying (and possible the ownership) of:

Knives designed to be opened one-handed
Folding knives that lock open
Knives with a blade length greater than...something like 2.5"

Very restrictive. Spyderco made a limited edition DKPK which is a smaller version of the UKPK, but with the spydie hole mostly filled in.

OK, all else aside, what is the deal with this? Wouldn't an Opinel be illegal under that definition?
