Hardly anyone would carry a knife here anyway. We don't have 'open container' laws in NZ, just certain 'no alcohol zones in city centres.
We have laws that the knife can't be too long, or it can be considered a weapon. There are also places where even a pocket knife can be excluded, but for the most part, carrying a knife is not a problem. We are also allowed to carry guns, but there are restrictions to where we can carry them, too.

For a long time I did not carry a knife because they were uncomfortable in my pocket, but I found a nice slim stainless steel folding knife that I don't even know is in my pocket. I have picked up a couple others that are similar, and I have lost one, but there would be no requirement to report the loss, any more than a requirement to report the loss of a lighter or pack of cigs. There are just too many knives lying around and available to anyone, anyplace, anytime, to consider a lost pocket knife a problem.
