What is the legal age to be able to hold a Pocket Knife?

I live somewhere where people will go up to you and jump for no reason.I decided to hold one in my pocket for safety but I don’t want to get in trouble so can some one help?Thank you.

Just Google “knife laws.” However, it is not a good idea to “defend” yourself against a shove with a deadly weapon, which a knife is. The other side can then “defend” themselves with a deadly weapon . . . and so it goes. At the end, everyone is dead, right . . . or dead right. If you are serious about carrying a deadly weapon, take one of the many weekend courses which are available.
