Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

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

Well I hope so: otherwise their ads might be a tad misleading…

[hectic]

Sure man, I was just looking for perhaps another brand recommendation.

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.

Sharing (really helpful, thanks)

Really like them, actually!.. The red'un most of all… Seems to be good value for the money, right?..

[michaeljcr]

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?..

Spyderco does not make assisted openers

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

[DougNg]

Kershaw Skyline is a favorite in that price range

Tons and tons of cool Kershaw knives… But me eye got caught on the Zing... Assisted opener but it'll be only used a couple of times so why the hell not... Have some fun ey... And I can get one for 30-35 € ppd... Brilliant!.. Thanks for the heads up, D!..

[DougNg]

That's actually Jody's every day carry. It's a great knife. It was designed by RJ Martin, one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He gifted me a Zing when I had dinner at his house two years ago

Boom - purchased. Thanks a ton for all your help, D!.. I still can't thank you enough for pointing me in the direction of a Sebenza two years ago!..

@DougNg:

Check out the Kershaw Zing, it's not assisted, but it might as well be with how easily it opens

April 2010… Comes full circle 2 years later, haha...

picked up a CRK Tanto Small Sebenza.

Here's an image from the vendor's site - I say god damn this thing is crazy sharp!

I really like how slim it is, I've been carrying a Benchmade Mini Dejavoo Gold Class for a while, it's nice to free up some room in the pocket!

[Seul]

Great pick up!.. 

[Lucifer]

Tanto blades are so sexy!

[mankarat]

Its really a beautiful piece..

[RedStripe]
