Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

@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.

Did you see this one, it's what I'm getting next:

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

Personally, I carry a Victorinox Electrician on a daily basis

Ordered:

• one Kershaw Zing, black, plain blade (which is so awesome) for one tmg

• one Kershaw Scallop, black for myself… They're smaller than the Zing but I like 'm!..

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

[Seul]

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

Better than half a finger…

[Seul]

You want a half a finger? I can get you a finger, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you half a finger by 3 o'clock this afternoon - with nail polish.

Thats for putting on your nose and pretending to be a piggie

Does anyone have experience with BEAR OPS knives?.. Still looking for a butterfly knife… Only thing is that it's expensive, and if customs fuck me over... I got my Sebenza and Kershaw sans problème but you never know... Anyone have any tips?..

[DougNg]

I would so a google search and see if the same company as Bear and sons. If it is, it's garbage

It actually is. I did some research (which I should've done first, sorry) and yes it appears that the knives are indeed garbage and their QC is next to non-existing.

Thanks DNg!..

I also found that there are fake Sebenzas out there. If you're buying 2ndhand: watch yourself!..

My Enzo PK70 Carbon Fibre arrived last week - very cool and UK EDC friendly.

Photo isn't great, but should give you an idea of the size.

Ops, pressed the wrong button! Sorry for the extra post.
