Handbag Cakes Is It Illegal To Carry A Small Penknife In My Handbag? (UK)?

Is it illegal to carry a small penknife in my handbag? (UK)? - handbag cakes

I always carry a knife (less than 3-inch leaves) in my pocket, so that when we are away from home, I can cut or peel the apples for the children or, if you buy a cake, I 'I cut it. I never use against another person, and I'm receint shocked and disgusted, and stabbing the loss of young life in the United Kingdom. Am I against the law in carrying out the knife?
The knife is so hidden that children can not be found.
