>>1538772In Norway, where I live, the knife laws are fairly strict, and carrying knives in public is illegal, unless you have a good reason to do so. The forest, however, is not considered to be a public area. And yes, switchblades and butterfly knives are illegal here in the sense that they can be confiscated if they're found, and you can be charged with possession of an illegal weapon for having them. Even though it's kind of ridiculous, I don't really care, as only human garbage tends to have shit like that, so fuck'em.
