In Sweden, knives are generally prohibited in public places. However, there are exceptions if carrying a knife serves a legitimate purpose. These include: ✔️ Tradespeople at work ✔️ Hunters and anglers ✔️ Outdoor and camping activities ✔️ Mushroom pickers in the forest A tradesperson may therefore generally carry a work knife if it is necessary for performing their job. Carrying it for self-defense, however, is not a valid reason. — polisen.se +1 German translation of the basic principle of the Knivlagen: "Knives and other dangerous objects may not be carried in public places, in schools, or in vehicles in public places unless there is a legitimate reason." — Riksdagen +1
