Finding this exact law online regarding legal carry knife size in Cyprus is not easy. We visited the Limassol central police station and asked at the main information desk, 4 police men and women then starting a discussion amongst themselves and no one could give us a straight answer. From our research online and off-line, we believe Cyprus knife carrying laws in public are similar to the U.K, in that it must be a non locking folding knife with a very small blade length.
