    New Belgian Weapons Law

    http://www.just.fgov.be/nl_htm/recht...wet/index.html


    illegal to own :

    spring- en valmessen met slot (ook knipmessen of stiletto’s genaamd), vlindermessen, werpmessen, werpsterren (ook shuriken genaamd), boksbeugels ;
    blanke wapens die uiterlijk gelijken op een ander voorwerp (bijvoorbeeld een mes verborgen in een gordel of pen) ;
    degenstokken en geweerstokken die geen historische sierwapens zijn ;
    knotsen en wapenstokken (ook knuppels of matrakken genaamd);
    nunchaku’s (in tegenstelling tot wat velen denken, bestaat hierop geen uitzondering voor Oosterse gevechtssporten!);

    krachtige katapulten (bijvoorbeeld slingers).


    No longer illegal to own:
    - Dolken, dolkmessen en vouwmessen met een niet-automatisch blokkeermechanisme vallen hier niet langer onder, maar het dragen ervan blijft onderworpen aan een wettige reden.

    Re: New Belgian Weapons Law

    I will try to translate if I have time.

    There is a differnce between legal ownership and legal carry.Most important imo is legal reason to carry.

    Best to avoid carrying knives in public spaces.An Opinel n°1 (if that exists) in the wrong place will get you in trouble.
    But no problem when you are camping, fishing, hunting, pruning.

    Re: New Belgian Weapons Law

    I'll make an effort:

    Illegal to own

    - push daggers
    - otf and gravity knives
    - butterfly knives/balisongs
    - knives with knuckle duster handles
    - switchblades
    - throwing knives
    - knives that are "disguised"

    No longer illegal to own
    - daggers
    - bayonets

    For carrying knives the Belgian law gives no requirements

    Every knife is considered a weapon
    ( http://justitie.belgium.be/nl/binari...265-144735.pdf page 26 and page 32 weapon or tool? )

    You always need a legal reason for carrying a weapon.
    (see pdf page 31 and 115)

    So you can conclude it's strict illegal to carry a knife in Belgium.

    I hope someone would prove me wrong
