In the UK, it is legal to carry a knife with a folding blade of up to three inches or less in public. This does not include knives with mechanisms that allow the blade to 'lock' into place.

Larger blades can be lawfully carried in public provided they are not 'banned blades' and the person carrying them must have a valid reason.

No! They are not. They are classed as an offensive weapon (a flick knife specifically) under the Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1959.
