I bought this knife. I was not paid to write this review.
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll. And you might need a good knife.
The Lansky World Legal is a tacticool-looking knife that is supposedly legal in 156 countries. It is a solid piece of cutlery.

My son Dan, lead singer and guitar player for the Autonomics, uses a knife regularly for stage setup, shipping equipment, cutting duct tape, opening boxes etc. He carries a Leatherman WAVE in his guitar case and a Benchmade Griptillian in his hip pocket.
But for the Autonomics’ European tour in March, the Griptillian and Leatherman must stay home. I had been eying a specialty knife for just such an occasion and ordered a Lansky LKN333 Mikkel Willumsen World Legal Folding Knife.
Knife laws vary widely throughout the world. In some countries anything goes. But if you go to Europe, you better be familiar with the local laws or risk a stay in the local jail.
For example, in England, according to gov.uk:
It is illegal to:
- Sell a knife of any kind to anyone under 18 years old (16 to 18 year olds in Scotland can buy cutlery and kitchen knives).
- Carry a knife in public without good reason – unless it’s a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less, IE a Swiss Army knife.
- Carry, buy or sell any type of banned knife.
- Use any knife in a threatening way (even a legal knife, such as a Swiss Army knife)
Other banned knife aspects could include having a lockblade or assisted opener, a point deemed to be for thrusting or stabbing, ability to open one-handed or a rigid blade.
You ignore these regulations at your own peril: The maximum penalty for an adult carrying a knife illegally is four years in prison and a fine of £5,000.
Knife laws vary from country to country, so if you’re going everywhere, make sure that blade doesn’t get you into trouble with local authorities. I’m not a lawyer, and none of this post is legal advice.
Here’s what I noticed about the Lansky World Legal:
It came out of the box shaving sharp, which is something I’d expect from a company that makes sharpeners! The knife is a beast – it is solid and appears and feels sturdy. It is definitely a utility knife. The hinge joint feels really secure, and the blade locks into place like a safe closing.
The Swiss Army Tinker, top, and the Lansky World Legal are both probably legal virtually anywhere. There is considerable difference in appearance!
Here are the specifications:
- 2.75″ 440C Stainless Blade
- 7″ Overall Length, 6 oz
- Ambidextrous Carry
- 4-Position Deep Pocket Clip
- Nylon Handle
Appearance: The Lansky looks badass. For some buyers, that’s the idea. For me, it’s a turnoff and defeats the purpose of urban camo. Designed by Willumsen Urban Tactical, the knife looks intimidating. During a confrontation with bad guys, this might be a good thing.
But a local law enforcement official, not particular about the apparent legality, might confiscate it because of the looks.
Steel: The blade is made of 440C stainless. This steel is commonly used in pocket knives, and it is a good, mid-range choice.
Ergonomics: The handle fits my large hands well. It would work well under extended use.
Blade Design: The appearance strikes me as a little odd, simply because it’s something I’m not used to. But in daily use, it works fine.
The World Legal is relatively unobtrusive when carried in a pocket. In many areas, this wouldn’t be considered concealed because part of the handle is exposed.
Clip: The pocket clip is convenient and easy to use. It is fully adjustable for four different modes of carry.
Other stuff:
Opening: This is definitely not a one-handed opening knife. For most of us, it will take both hands and a deliberate effort to get it open. While the Lansky has a slot for a thumbnail on the blade, it would take a really, really strong person to use it. The blade is wide enough to easily grab between your thumb and forefinger.
Appearance: Even though this is not a quick opener, the knife gets attention when it’s used. My definition of urban camo is that something doesn’t appear out of the normal and blends in. This knife doesn’t seem to.
The end has this beak-like thing going on, and I’m not real sure what the point is (Hope you caught the pun…) It would be really hard to stab someone with it.
All in all, the Lansky is a good product. It could be a good choice for the world travelor, who is going to several different countries.
And the cost is a real attraction: I got mine for $16.56 from Amazon.com. With shipping, the knife still retails for under $20, delivered to your door. At that price, you can afford to lose it, and you won’t be concerned about carrying it all the time.
The best survival knife is the one you have when it’s needed. And the Lansky might prove to be that.
