You can do that, if you have a good reason you'll be OK. If the average Joe got stopped tomorrow with a knife in their pocket they'd be fhucked though. I can't remember the punishment for it but they do come down harsh on carrying a knife in a public place. Same with any sort of weapon in your car for self defense like a baseball bat. Best option is a Maglite.
I think it's a good thing regarding knives.
Even in your house, if you keep a bat or hammer by your bed, someone breaks in and you attack them with it, you need to prove the weapon wasn't there for the purpose of attacking an intruder, so if you had the hammer on a table next to some nails and a frame you could just say you were planning on putting a photo frame up. If you run through the kitchen and grab a knife from the draw, you're fine. If you keep one by your bed, you're not.
Out of interest mate do you have the same opinion regarding guns (thread is going off topic lul.)
