This lovely local chap was ****ed up in the daytime, shouting, swearing and waving a sword in the street.
I have the video somewhere.
Sword-wielding Oswestry man spared jail over stalking conviction
Charlie Quick, who was arrested in the summer for brandishing a sword near Oswestry's Highwayman pub, has been sentenced.www.bordercountiesadvertizer.co.uk
4 month suspended sentence....
So legitimately having a fixed blade or a locker in your truck/car/van toolkit isn't out of the realms of possibility.
Least convenient road side dispatch

One of the few I've seen from America where I'd say they (the officers) did everything they could to help that man, even when he drew the sword.
love the YouTube comments:

I have many legal folders. I like knives and want ones I can carry and use all the time without worrying. However, I draw the line and not owning or using non locking knives that don't have a decent finger choil to prevent the blade closing on my fingers.
My usual daily carries are the Byrd Tern, Kizer Vagino Zipslip and a Tops Tac Raze 2. They can all be opened and closed with one hand, won't accidentally shut on your fingers (as long as you're holding the knife and using it), discreet and legal to carry in public without any good reason.
A couple of lads I worked with at the time were driving back from a job at dusk when they came across a roe buck that had been hit by a car. Both rural lads, although one of them was 17 at the time and a bit wet behind the ears. Older bloke says they'll drag it off the road and ring the estate manager where they've been working. Young lad insits they should dispatch it. Older bloke tells him to use a lump hammer from the truck. He refuses and says he'll use his opinel.
Turns out the opinel is blunt and the lad clueless.
Deer goes ballistic and runs off, but not before the lad gets antlered in the kneecap for his trouble. Other fella had to take him to minor injuries where they pumped him full of antibiotics, and then spent the next fortnight limping as if he'd survived a shark attack, whilst the rest of us mocked him mercilessly.
Anyway, the moral of the story is not to stab anything that has a chance to stab you back

One of my other faves is my Spyderco UKPK Salt. I agree, nice to carry a knife and not worry.
Do find it stupid I can't even carry my Leatherman Wave because it locks, and as you say the locking is safety not lethality

You absolutely can carry your Leatherman.
Just have a reasonable excuse to:-
Have it.
Have it “locking” (safely).
I am off out now, with my knife and will not worry about it.
I think we often make life more difficult for ourselves than it really needs to be.
If I was a machete wielding drug dealer, I’d probably dress in something less obvious than hi viz.
Probably going for the hide in plain sight method, like those guys that proved you can get in anywhere if you are just carrying a ladder.

So if you have a Humane Dispatch Certificate it would help to legitimate your carrying a knife ? It would help to differentiate yourself from others
I have a small MTP "bum bag" back-up gralloch kit that permanently lives in the vehicle just for this eventuality - in it is a very sharp orange Morakniv. I do have the Lantra HD certificate but the increasing numbers of deer, my training (DSC1, 2 and DMC plus HAD) means that it is reasonable that I carry such a kit just as I do a trauma first-aid kit and a defibrillator in the car. I don't go out planning to use any of this kit but if I come across a situation requiring use of any of it, I will not hesitate. Just being a responsible member of society.

One of the officer cadets from St Andrews whilst I was with Edinburgh...
Posh yob smashed woman's window with military sword before demanding she 'stand and deliver' during drunken frenzy
Trainee army officer Hamish McGregor faces being thrown out of St Andrews University after threatening to slay his shocked 55-year-old victim.
Can't mind what the sentence was (and in between things at work do can't see if the article actually says).
Well done for despatch. Another way I would use would be to kneel on it wrap something round your hand, grasp the animals nose and pull the head back. The skin will be taught enough for most knives to cut across the throat, as you cut pull the head back to break the Atlas, job done.
Thats how sheep were done by our butcher in my youth and I have done it with injured does.

I would try for the atlas joint at the back of the neck. Or push the blade behind the shoulder and hit the heart, you'll be surprised how quick that dispatches a beast if you can't get the atlas.
