Legal requirements for swiss army knives and other knives

In France, the holding and carrying of knives in public is subject to specific legal provisions and restrictions.

In particular, the holding and carrying of a knife in public only is permitted if legitimate reasons can be provided.

Local restrictions may apply and prohibit the holding and carrying of a knife in places open to the public, regardless of legitimate reasons.

Further, the sale, purchase and possession of a knife is permitted, provided the person is at least 18 years old.

Please note that Victorinox takes all precautions and exercises all due diligence, including suitable age verification procedures, to ensure that knives are not sold to a person under the age of 18 on this website.
