<p>I've picked up a hand chainsaw for the woods as it's cheap and an amazing bit of kit.</p>

<p>UK law states the legal carry for a knife is less than 3 inches and must be a non-locking folding blade.</p>

<p>Will I be able to take my saw out on public land? I don't believe it meets the definitions of an illegal blade but would appreciate some advice from those who know more - I assume it would still be illegal on an everyday carry but if I have a valid reason (going into the woods to cut dead wood) I should be ok.</p>
