wisdom Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 With the legal aspects of carrying a knife.I realise most of mine are locking including the leatherman wave which lives on my belt.I have a few Swiss army knives but they are a little bit sentimental and I wouldn't want to lose them.What do you folks recommend ideally 2 blades non locking and below the legal blade length. Just as an every day knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElvisThePelvis Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have become fond of the Japanese pencil knives, will take and hold a very sharp edge and happy to do most tasks, very strong blade which can be a little think at times.

buze Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Opinel for me, the small ones. With a non stainless blade they will eventually tarnish, but will sharpen to some incredible edge. They get a nice patina too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lister1 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have just ordered a Joker no 74 and a Svord mini peasant knife to keep me legal. G Where did you order the joker 74 from.

bigmcg Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Off Ronnie Sunshine, they were out of stock so ordered the Svord, nice enough knife for work but the Joker is a bit tidier for "dress". Got an email saying they were back in stock the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the blade is no more than 3" long and the knife can be locked the handle is taken as making the knife Illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use one all the time but wouldn't risk it with the locking collar as my edc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisThePelvis Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 There is a small on, I think no5 that is available non locking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveboy Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 There is a small on, I think no5 that is available non locking You can remove the locking ring with a pair of circlip pliers. There is also a video on youtube where they have shaped the locking ring so you can close in with a bit of pressure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbAp6P5nuns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx4cabbie Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Petit doukdouk cost 14 quid from heinnie Haynes, legal, slim,lightweight, can sharpen on bottom of teacup or edge of car window, excellent every day carry. Joker already mentioned makes a superb steak knife, and doesn't look out of place on table in decent restaurant. Spyderco ukpk or urban are good, and have a choil for your trigger finger so that the blade can't fold, nice safety feature. For a two blade edc, can get carbon steel stockman from case or Queen for not too much money, or really treat yourself and get a Northfield or gec from mikesknives or moonraker knives. Northfield come with 1095 steel blades, and will hold a hair whittling edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
