A classic Pocket Knife like a swiss one? Yeah sure that is not a Problem.
Folders on the other Hand are forbidden to carry if its possible to open them onehanded. Remove the Pin of the Folder so you have to open it with two Hands it becomes legal. There is a exception for Beltknifes that are getting used by Fire Fighters in cases of Car Crashes.
Also Switchblades and Balisong/Butterfly Knifes are forbidden Weapons. So owning them already is a crime in Germany.
Neckknifes and other Knifes with a fixed Blade are also okay to carry as long as long as the blade is smaller than 12 cm or 4.7 Inches.
