Czech Republic - Legislation on the possession and carrying of knives

General Status:

The Czech Republic has one of the most liberal knife laws in Europe. Knives are considered ordinary tools.

Restrictions:

There are no legal restrictions on possession or public carrying of knives, regardless of blade length, mechanism, or style.

Warning:

Although carrying is unrestricted, misuse (threatening behavior, assault) will lead to prosecution under criminal law. Specific premises (courts, airports) may enforce their own bans.
