I asked Chat GPT to confirm the exact details -
"Certainly, I can provide you with some information on the Charles Brooker vs the Director of Public Prosecutions case.
Charles Brooker was convicted of carrying a lock knife in public, which is a criminal offense in the UK. However, Brooker argued that the knife he was carrying was not illegal because the blade was under three inches in length, which was the legal limit for a non-locking folding knife at the time.
The case was taken to the Court of Appeal, where it was decided that the "cutting edge" of the blade should be used to measure its length, rather than the "ricasso" (the unsharpened part of the blade between the handle and the cutting edge). This meant that the blade on Brooker's knife was actually just over three inches in length, making it illegal to carry in public.
As a result of this decision, the law was amended in to include the ricasso in the definition of the blade length. This means that any knife with a blade over three inches, including the ricasso, is now considered a prohibited weapon in the UK and cannot be carried in public without a valid reason.
The case has been controversial, with some arguing that it is unfair to measure the blade length in this way, while others argue that it is necessary to prevent people from carrying dangerous weapons in public."
