I am not aware of any age limitations for carrying a knife. A person under the age of 18 can carry a knife in the same settings as an adult. You can carry a folding, non-locking blade less than three inches long, such as a Swiss army knife, wherever you want. You may carry any other knife not on the restricted list (butterfly knives, switchblades, and so on) if you have a valid reason that does not include self-defense. The only time age matters is when purchasing a knife; most knives need a minimum age of 18.

Anyone under the age of sixteen is not allowed to own or carry a “dangerous knife,” as defined by state law in New York, according to the city’s knife rules.

Yes, in my perspective. My parents gave me a Swiss Army knife when I was eight or nine years old. I’m a teenager now. I now have a ton more. Mostly, I enjoy gathering them. Go ahead and use them as long as you’re not harming yourself or others and you’re not doing foolish things with them. They can be useful for daily activities and, in an emergency, can be utilized for self-defense.

It is not legal for a 16 year old to carry a knife, it is not thus it is restricted.
It’s generally illegal for a 16-year-old to carry a knife. Laws vary by location, but most places have strict regulations. The type of knife, where it’s carried, and the reason for carrying it can all influence the legality.
It’s crucial to check the specific laws in your area.
