You can have a fixed bladeknife with you and still be legal. You have a shed load of camping kit.therefore you are camping and a folding knife is a danger to you. I've had a Swiss Army Knife for 25 years. in that time I've stabbed myself three time when the blad collapsed on me because I should have used a fixed blade knife.
Keep the Swiss Army type knife as an EDC and have the fixed blade wrapped away in your bag. It isn't ready for instant deployment so Plod may not even get overcome with fright.
I agree, it is not against any UK law to carry a fixed blade, if stopped all you have to do is give good reason for carrying it, camping will always be a good enough reason, provided its not strapped to your belt when you pop into the pub
