I am moving from the US to Tel Aviv later this year. Let me just start by saying I couldn’t be more excited, I’ve always wanted to visit Israel and we will be there for 3-4 years with my wife’s work contract. Before you ask, yes I will be able to work as well. I have always carried a small pocket knife on my person. A small part for self defense but primarily because a small knife has a million uses and my current career does need a small blade either for cutting or prying things, essentially a tool. I’ve seen by Israeli law knives are prohibited severely compared to US laws but there seems to be a provision that it is legal if proven for a legitimate reason. Does anyone have an idea what these legitimate reasons are or should I just have the expectation this is illegal in your country?
