Not happy... I've opened this thread 5 minutes ago and now I'm shopping for knives.

@Jord I have something in the post you'll enjoy!

Edit: In the post to me at IHUK, from a knife maker. In case that wasn't clear

Over many years of using knives I settled on Spyderco in the main. My daily carry are the bottom four - UKPK and urbans, UK legal carry. I don't often use the middle line - often drawer queens but I rate them all as decent knives, lookers and users.
The top knife is my favourite work tool (I'm an outdoors practitioner, Ranger type) a Fjallkniven F1. Made for pilots but great for bushcraft. This is my spare one... Regular use knife is a bit battered.
Most of my Spydies I've given new scales as you can see I have other knives but don't want to reach too far down that particular rabbit hole...

my new letter-opener…

@AdamJ Haha yes I knew what you meant! I'm interested to see pics when it arrives

@Makarwise UK knife law is just crazy. On my list of "cons" for ever moving back to Blighty

[Makarwise]

@nurunuru Yep. Mostly just silly. The suits don't understand knives as the majority won't have any history of using them. Bans and legislation generally make it harder for tool users - a knife for crime just needs to be pulled out of any kitchen block.

Well, this bench made mini adira just somehow showed up at my door this morning…
