Yeah man could be. Just checked - Illegal to carry a knife in public without good reason - unless it’s a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less, eg a Swiss Army knife. Lock knives (knives with blades that can be locked when unfolded) are not folding knives, and are illegal to carry in public.
I've been stop searched with a blade about an inch long on a key ring before though and the police were a bit awkward about it. You would probably still get a bit of hassle if you carried a Swiss army knife though.
To answer your q I don't collect knives though.
