Jahcub Pierre-Registe, 18, received thirty-three weeks custody, following his arrest in Acton, west London by the Violent Crime Task Force.
Pierre-Registe, of Elsham Road, West Kensington was sentenced at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court.
On Monday, August 28 officers were on patrol in Beech Avenue, Acton Vale at 5.50pm.
They saw a group of five men, who appeared to be carrying out a drug deal.
As officers approached the group dispersed and officers gave chase.
They caught Pierre-Registe and when officers searched him they found in his waist band a large Rambo-style knife in black sheath.
The knife blade was 10" long with 3-4" handle.
Pierre-Registe was arrested and taken into custody.
He was charged with possession of a pointed or bladed article and pleaded guilty the next day.
Pierre-Registe was also ordered to pay the court £400.
PC Chapman, of the Violent Crime Task Force said: “I hope the sentence handed to Jahcub Pierre-Registe will show those who carry knives that they will go to prison if they are caught.
“It is against the law and incredibly dangerous.
“Our officers are out day and night, working to tackle violence across London and will continue to take knives and weapons off the streets.”
