      Recommend me a new knife. Has to have a clip to hook on the pocket of my jeans. Less than $200. GO!

      That doesn't really narrow down much of anything. I'll say the Zero Tolerance 0550 just because I want one

          You have to narrow it down some more.  There is a million quality knives in that price range.  Are you looking for a smaller "gentlman" knife with some nice wood scales,  something big and thick that you can pry with,  sarrated, plain,  combo? There is so many options its insane.

          Just off the top of my head i would say spyderco para military,  endura, or a benchmade griptillian.

            I have a multi-tool so def don't need anything for prying. Would prefer black or silver in color. Def no wood. Stainless steel most likely.

                Some superb knives on this thread.  😎
                I'd love a mnandi or sebenza, but no point as I couldn't carry it and would't want it just sitting in a box.
                Would love to get a nice 2 - 2.5" blade, slipjoint in that sort of style, with clip….so any recomendations welcome!

                Anyway, heres the few knives/toothpicks 😉 I currently own:

                21 year old Buck thats seen a lot of abuse, now no longer legal to carry, but I wouldn't carry it these days anyway.

                Spyderco Squeak - Tiny but strong and legal 😃

                Leatherman Micra - this is relatively new as I bust the screwdriver off the one I've had for over 10 years.
                I just popped it in the mail with a note to leatherman HQ and this arrived 2 weeks later.

                Tiny lock knife, picked up on travels, can't remember where, more of a novelty than anything else.

                I've got a couple more, but they're hiding at the moment.

                  Redstripe: check out Great Eastern Cutlery knives for a slipjoint. They're currently considered by many to be the best production slip joints on the market right now. I like collectorknives.net to buy them

                  Edit: if you're looking for a slipjoint with a clip, you're going to find your choices severely limited…Spyderco makes a slipjoint with a clip...that's the only one that's coming to mind...I think it's the UKPK

                    Spyderco Squeak is awesome, and perfect for UK carry as it's well within the permitted size. It's my EDC of choice these days, as the UKPK just seemed to close to the edge of what you can cart around.

                        DougNg - thanks I'll have to check those out.
                        Shame about the lack of slipjoints with clips on the market, the ukpk, even though within the law would leave me a bit worried for edc, it still looks a bit 'mean' 😃

                        michaeljcr - yes its a really nice little knife isn't it, haven't had it long, but its been in my coin pocket continually

                        Injunjack, ahh, I've spent a couple of months in Thailand, so its almost definitely from there - good spot!

                          Good people:

                          I am about to buy this: http://www.handyniknaks.co.uk/spyderco-knives-uk-penknife-lightweight-spyderco-c94pmr-1044-p.asp

                          Before I do please could anyone suggest an alternative that is UK legal carry?

                          Thank you

                                It is legal, it's just it's at the extreme edge of legality. Basically, it was designed to be as close to the line as possible. I wouldn't want to be stopped in a major UK city with one. You'd be legally fine, but i bet it could be tense for a few minutes. Also, personally I don't need anything that big on a daily basis. I sent Hectic some comparison shots with that one and the Squeak.

                                      I think they're very good value, and the slip joint is great on both.

                                        Ok y'all… I'm in need of a cheap knife that will shortly replace my Sebenza whilst it's being sent off for service…

                                        Needs:

                                        • cheap
                                        • locking blade
                                        • clip
                                        • smaller or same size as Sebenza small (6.875" (175mm)
                                        • don't care whether it's legal or not
                                        • preferably easy to be found in €urope (on a site like Amazon or what have you not...)

                                        Any and all recs will be looked into. All help appreciated. Cheers.

                                        Thinking of going with a Spyderco... Less than 40 quid portpaid... Should I?..

                                            I messed that up - didn't mean assisted opening, just need a knife you can open with one hand…  😠
