Just a word of caution for anyone travelling to or through the UK – most knives are prohibited here including ALL locking blades and fixed blades however small, so yes that does include your Leatherman or Swiss Army knife. Also mace or pepper sprays or any form of tazer, knuckleduster or martial arts weapons etc. If you carry anything prohibited through a UK air/port it will be confiscated and you also risk police involvement even arrest! Small non locking penknives are not prohibited but will still be confiscated along with your liquid/gel/pastes over 100ml yes that includes totally harmless marmalade, handcream, hand sanitiser and loads more. If you do have these items, pack them in your hold luggage to avoid problems at security.
