I would say that's a perfectly good reason to carry a blade.
I imagine everything is about context and at the discretion of the officer should you get stopped.
If you were wearing a trackie, stinking of skunk and found with a tiny non-locking blade it'd probably be taken more seriously than a 'respectable looking'(whatever that means) person carrying something that falls short of the carry laws on their way to the allotment/work. I often get home to realise I'm still carrying my work knife and have no fears of being found at fault if I was stopped.
TL:Dr - carry whatever you need if it's justifiable and you're not a complete scumbag.
