Recommendations for a small pocket knife.

[Liveonce]

another daft law written by someone who never daily uses a pocket knife, by all means limit the blade length but by not locking you risk injuring the user.

As a special present at that kind of money have a look at Michael May’s knives, handmade in Sheffield:

They look like very good value indeed.

It's all about being seen to be doing something. Looks great on paper but let's have a show of hands as to who thinks criminals are law abiding!

I'm a fan of the Boker Plus Tech tool. I have 2 and they perform way better than their price point would suggest.
I also have one of Michael Mays lambsfoot in Yorkshire oak that's a bit nice too.

Not an EDC.

Yes they are, now available without the locking ring.....read #6.....

 

[Bavarianbrit]

Camillus was a very good brand but the factory burnt down which ended the make.

Benchmade Mini Griptilian if you an find one. Rare for a v good reason. Never known a knife so sharp and keep an edge. Not pocket legal in UK.

As an EDC with quick flipper deployment I like my Twisted Assisted Mini Dundee, cost £55. For when I have a reason to carry a locking blade my go to is a Civivi, I really rate them.

Enzo PK70 for modern flash awesomeness

Arthur Wright spear and pen blade wooden handle pocket knife for traditional awesomeness

Arthur Wrights lambs foot blade, with a carbon blade, strong unobtrusive & easy to sharpen to a razor edge. As used by farmers & shepherds who need a reliable working tool.

Just a thought.
Does anyone make
Bi metal bladed knives.
If not, why not?

I'm still a big fan of Opinal No.8 in Carbon Steel. When out in the field I typically carry an old Whitby lock knife. I've not bought one in years now, but I think I would go Whitby again!

I try not to buy anything French (Fkrs chucked Welsh lamb into a dock). I do have to admit that over the past 40+ years of shooting/hunting I have not found a pocket knife better than an Opinel! Not had one without the collar but no doubt the same quality blade.

So chaps, I'm after the above, ideally with a pocket/belt clip, and max length,
wont get lots of use so im not looking to spend more that £75 really, so far iv only looked at a few Gerber Knifes.
So any recommendations will be great,

thanks,

lee

I got one of these: Boker Winzermesser Folding Knife

Great knife, holds a wicked edge. I use the corkscrew and the bottle opener more than the blade!
