Basically it boils down to what guardia civil ends up questioning you. You may only carry a knife if you can prove you have a legitimate use for it and it is up for the guardia civil questioning you if you have a legitimate reason for carrying it. Forget about self-defense. That is not a legitimate reason there. I've heard of 400 euro penalties over small swiss army knives that could hardly be considered weapons. Don't have any knives in the passenger area of a vehicle or in any public areas. If you buy a knife there or decide to take one with you keep it in the trunk of the car and make sure it isn't pointy. Pointy blades of less than 11cm are considered puñales and are illegal. In fact, you might be better of with a non-locking sheepfoot blade.
Thank you. I'd heard of a variety of ends and I better err on the side of caution... :\
Yeah man. I'm going to have to go there soon and I'm not to happy about the knife carrying situation either. Just remember this is the country where an 83 year old man was convicted of murder because he shot and killed 1 of 2 robbers than went into his house. One armed with a sharp chisel, the other one armed with a gun that turned out to be fake. They were beating up his wife. He pretended to go get some money and instead went to grab a revolver. He gave a warning shot to the floor and on the second shot he happened to hit the guy right in the neck. I mean how well can an 83 year old aim and at night and the judge said he could have fired another warning shot instead. Lol. AND he has to pay 20,000 euros to the mother of the dead thief. Ridiculous and unfair.
