Seems that it depends on the knife. Folding knives with blades of 3" or less are OK. Any knife with a blade that locks in the open position; however, is not considered a folding knife. Many models of Leatherman Tools have locking blades which are preferred here for safety (the blade won't accidentally close on your fingers). She'd have to find a model that meets both requirements and hope that her BIL isn't accident prone.
