Knife Laws

I am a US citizen and will be moving to Bahrain in the next morning month of so.  I am used to having a pocket knife on me at all times.  I have Louisiana Lee everywhere and cannot find an answer.  Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, this is an awesome place for information.

Simple rule of thumb; if it can be considered as lethal (just by looking at it), it's not allowed.

That's generally how knife laws are interpreted in this part of the world.   You should not have a problem with a pocket knife unless of course it has a distinctive serrated evil looking blade :)

Thank you for the response.  I guess I was looking specifically for a reference to a law.  None of my knives look lethal.
