      @tmg:

      After deciding against trying to import the Zing, (the distinct possibility of customs charges and hassle really put me off), I then found Heinnies, and have spent the last day browsing their extensive selection….......to the point that I'm now down to a shortlist of 5,
      Spyderco Tenacious
      Rough Rider Trapper
      Spyderco Kiwi
      Kershaw Zing
      Boker Plus Subcom 42 Ti

      Any advice?

      I know that only the Rough Rider, Kiwi and Subcom are UK legal, but I would use the other choices for outdoor stuff anyway, so that isn't too much of an issue for me.

      I always go Kershaw. I'm very brand loyal to them

      Spyderco is ok, I don't like the way their knives look pretty much universally

      Bokers are ok as well, but that knife looks really uncomfortable in the hand

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        I'm sure out of the 3, the Kershaw 's the cheapest, no?.. I had some issues with Böker… Let's just say that you should hope and pray nothing goes wrong with your knife as service = 0...

        So yeah: Kershaw... And if you want, I'll order a Zing for you with my order and ship it to you (for free).

          Rough rider is probably the cheapest

                            And I'm the exact opposite. I much prefer a trapper over the rest

                                Seul/Doug - thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated! Since I'm torn between the traditional stye and the modern fast-openers, I'm going to get both the Rough Rider and a Kershaw…..Seul, I'd like to take you up on your very kind offer, expect a PM shortly 🙂

                                Michael, that Enzo looks very slick, and I'll keep it in mind for the future.

                                    If you find yourself wanting to spend more money: Zero Tolerance makes fantastic knives and is a subsidiary of Kershaw. Northfield Knives is the way to go in the realm of traditionals

                                        great thread this one 🙂

                                        i was wondering if anybody has a large regular sebenza for sale? i'm feeling the urge again. I got rid of my small 21, large classic and now just have the small regular but i think i need the large regular to go with it 😉

                                          The Sebenza's back baby!.. Opens and closes so smoothly again… Sharp as a razor... Guy charged me 4 €... Yeah: I know I should just learn to do it meself but for 4 € I can't be arsed... I'll just let him do it every couple of months...



                                          One quite weird thing, though… There was half a bandaid in my box...  :o
