In Austria, a new \u201cKnife-Carrying Prohibition Act\u201d is expected to enter into force in the future. However, the draft legislation provides for a long list of exceptions. The issue of carrying a traditional costume knife will be particularly interesting. Accordingly, carrying such a traditional knife is to be considered lawful from the moment a person wears lederhosen that have a dedicated sheath for storing a traditional costume knife. As a logical consequence, there would therefore effectively be nothing preventing the carrying of such a knife, for example at the Wiener Wiesn, unless the organiser explicitly prohibits the carrying of any weapon.<\/p>\n
Whether the law will lead to lederhosen becoming increasingly popular in criminal circles remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
