It’s illegal, if concealed on your person in public or carried for malicious intent.

i don’t think the fine is as high as $10,000. i’m certain it’s at least a $1000 on-the-spot fine.

actually this is not true
you are allowed to carry pocket knives and carver knives…
the fine for carring a kitchen sized knife is $200

It is legal to carry knives if they serve a professional purpose. I.e. a chef can transport knives to or from work. There are countless jobs that require items with pointy sharp edges.
Actually when going hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and/or doing sport activities that require knives, you are also allowed to have a knife on you.
Boyscouts are allowed to carry knives.

Long story short, if you have a GOOD REASON, you can carry a knife.
Also, Singhs are allowed to carry knives.

It is illegal to carry a knife in a public area in the state of Victoria.
Even if It’s for your profession or recreational activitys. (clearly the law was made by city folk that clearly have no idea)
It is still perfectly legal to own a knife of any size however.
