Hi all, what do you all recommend for a decent lock knife. To be carries in the pocket of on the belt in a pouch. Suitable for all UK species, solid locking system, easy to sharpen and keep on top off be visible if possible.

Thanks

I carry one of these as a back up to my Guy Stainthorp Capreolus (in case I for get it as Guy’s knife wouldn’t fail!)

Good steel, we’ll engineered and positive liner lock, I have the blue which would show up well. Looks out of stock in that colour

Kizer Domin Mini

If you wanted something bigger these are also nice and a full size knife for a folder

I rate the Mercator K55K Black Cat Folding Pocket Knife.​

Nice and slim in your pocket. Keeps a great edge and easy to sharpen.
 
Why do threads like this test my will power….. got a perfectly good Buck 110 but then someone posts a picture of something different and I find myself on Google.
You can thank me later ;)

 
I can’t comment too much on lock knives as I don’t have much experience with them (I’v always used fixed) so I apologise if this comment isn’t of any use...but a good friend of mine makes knives, they are exceptionally high quality made of the best materials. He can also custom make one to your requirements...he’s made a few for me and all been flawless. If your on Instagram search for “raptor knives” 👌🏻
 
The biggest deficit for stalking applications of most modern folding knives is the amount of recesses and slots. Be it for the attachment of belt clips, lanyards, scale screws, single handed opening and what not. This is all BS. You want to be able to clean it without having to dismantle it to the last bit every time.

One may dislike the form factor or the material of the scales, but conceptually this is the optimum for a stalking folder:
