We are missing some facts here. They guy may we'll have had some knives; maybe he went knife shopping? How many and what kind? Were these knives packaged or were they ready to plunged into an unsuspecting person's body? And how long were the blades? COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 185/2010 makes it clear that blades no longer than 6cm are acceptable on flights and Duty-free in LSGG do a roaring trade in Swiss Army knives to departing passengers. As far as I am concerned, this is just another example of "Sh!tty Britain".

Not quit.
The eu regulation states that all knives over 6 cm blade are out of bounds and smaller ones as long as they have an sharp point or sharp edge.
"objects with a sharp point or sharp edge — objects with a sharp point or sharp edge capable of being used to cause serious injury, including:
— items designed for chopping, such as axes, hatchets and cleavers,
— ice axes and ice picks,
— razor blades,
— box cutters,
— knives with blades of more than 6 cm,
— scissors with blades of more than 6 cm as measured from the fulcrum,
— martial arts equipment with a sharp point or sharp edge,
— swords and sabres;
"
obviously in Switserland the swiss army knife is not considered sharp and pointy
