Knife suggestions - Can't find anything...
Dynamic
shooting, but legally, these are only allowed to be carried to, from and
during the shoot. I have a small swiss army usb penknife that I carry round
with me all the time and find pretty usefull, but it's just too flimsy, so
I'm looking for a raplacement.
As the UK law stands, the knife needs a blade of 3 inches or less, and to be
of a folding design. The killer part is that the blade isnt allowed to lock.
I searched ebay and bought one of the Leatherman C305's only to find out
that it has a linear lock on the main blade.
So, any suggestions for a folding, non locking pocket knife, with a blade of
3 inches or under, that won't just fall to pieces in my hand?

How many times have the police stopped and searched you?

I have never been searched, though since my girlfriend has just gone back to
uni, I'll be on the train alot, so I'd rather not risk it. I do intend on
carrying the C305 in public, but sometimes the risk might be worse than
others, so I'd rather have something else, than nothing at all. Also, if
there is a knife out there that is legal an does what I want, surely that
would be better?

You could always go for the good old British Army penknife.

I've got one and I can assure you, it won't fall apart, even if you dig the
garden with it. In fact, I'm not too sure where mine's gone, must have a
look for it.

Found it!
It was made in 1945 and is in relatively decent condition, apart from the
fact that it looks like someone at some point tried to sharpen it against a
housebrick.

click Knives then Spyderco and the second knife doown is the UK Pocket
Knife-
quote-
Designed specifically for the UK market, this non locking sub 3 inch bladed
knife maintains maximum functionality whilst remaining within UK carry laws.
The Pen Knife offers superb cutting power with its S30V blade. The G10
handle is comfortable in the hand.
Includes wire pocket clip.
The price is £69.95. Nothing to do with either company just own one and
think its the best slip lock on the market because it uses your finger and
thumb as an additional lock.

I have one one of those, but dated 1956. Made without the
marlin spike so therefore a little slimmer. No idea how it came into
the family. For a non-locker it holds well in the open position.
Definitely not a one-handed opener;-)
The spring on the can opener is bust though and I'm toying
with taking those bits right out and making myself a slimmer and
flatter knife for my EDC. If I do it will only be about 1/4" thick
;-)

I know mine has been sharpened against a kerbstone a few
times.. I should be ashamed, but I'm not.;-)

THat's the same as mine too, no marlinspike either. There's a navy version
made by John Nowill and sons with plastic scales so its easier to grip when
wet.
If you go to www.heinnie.com you'll find it there.
