no in england we are not allowed to be found in possession of knives, what ever the size...ESPECIALLY if you use the line "its for protection" cos over here that would be classed as you are intending to use it which is premetitated....people have been done for much less, eg. even using house keys now can be classed as a weapon.
as someone said maybe it depends on the size but tbh the only reason you would prob get away with it is if you showed them your scars and say its only for me....but if it was found in school WHATEVER the reason you are likely to get in trouble.
dont think you are the type of person who is likely to get searched by the police but you never know....be careful l'il one :)
