Remember if your found with a knife that breaks the law the police will charge you and its then up to you to prove at court that you had it for a lawful purpose. I say this with a large measure of experience
Sweden has a knife law, but the police is not very anal about enforcing it, they see it more as a tool to get armed drunks and punks into custody. I carry a SwissTool or a SAK (25 year old Champion) at least 95% of the time, and policemen must have seen the belt case for the SwissTool lots of times. Since I usually carry my fixed blade knives around my neck I generally tuck them inside my shirt/jacket when I forget myself and go to the grocery store with one. And out here in the country police are very much not in evidence anyway.
Oh, and no one else out here cares about sane knives[1] being carried either as far as I have noticed.
