Illegal?
The topic was brought up during an Easter dinner when one of my cousins, told us that her friend was charged and received a criminal record for having a small pocket knife in his car a definite no-no of course, but it got me thinking would also apply to having a knife in a tackle box. I keep a knife in my tackle box which comes in handy often when cutting and retying line, cutting off snags, and cutting off deep hooked fish ect.. I would never use for illegal activity... I stay away from that Big Grin

The knife can easily be substituted for a fishing tool but I like to spend less time on gear when I could be fishing so the difference between instantly being able to get the knife from the TB or getting the fishing tool and pulling out the right tool can only be a matter of seconds but even though it still makes a difference.

This can also be applied to a fillet knife that I sometimes carry in my tacklebox.

Would this be considered possession of a weapon in public or whatever the law is or would it be waved because it is being used for fishing purpose only.

I'm gonna keep the knife out of my TB until I know for sure but a knife definitely comes in handy at times and would be a bummer if I couldn't use it. I have a pretty nice fishing tool though so I can't complain Tongue.
