Knife porn thread

I just picked up a lambsfoot for my nephew's first knife from here: http://www.sheffield-made.com/acatalog/Pocket_Knives.html

handmade in Sheffield, it arrived a couple of days ago. feels very nice quality.

Was taking the piss, but those prices are awesome for decent blades. Thank @sacredhart for finding them and posting them up.

I love my Swiss soldier knife, always in my pocket and does everything a good pocket knife should...

Bit trickier to get now as Wenger and Victorinox have stopped making them... Google is your friend...

I think the soldier is not legal to carry as it has a lock blade. This is my current favourite http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0001P14X6 it was the thinnest I could find with blade, scissors, bottle opener and corkscrew.

Nope, the alox Soldier is 100% legal...

Ah, it seems there are a few different ones called Solider. I was thinking of the one with the big loop for one-handed opening.

I've got the 1961 model, lovely thing... Best to take the fob off it straight away, the blade on mine got dinged by it when I lent it to a careless person...

Retirement present?

The knives Lynx reposted from me are not EDC as one is too big, the other locks. I have a Vitorinox Alux Farmer as my EDC and its great. Have a look on Heinnie Haynes I can't plug them enough. They specify which knives are UK legal carry plus the reviews are to be trusted.

The whole alox range looks solid tbh

Because knife law in the UK is partially down to the cops interpretation (ie you need to have a reason to be carrying any knife) I always assumed a penknife looks like the sort of thing you'd have in your pocket whereas a single blade might be more questionable even if it is within the acceptable limits.

Got sent here from the food thread. I'd been looking at the Hattori HD series but I can't spend £100+ on 1 kitchen knife as much as I want some Japanese steel.

Victorinox, Global, or Sabatier?

those victorinox fibrox handled chefs knives are great

Thanks, @dicki

They're very reasonably priced, anything around the £50 mark worth getting? Or maybe I'll get 2 or 3 of those Victorinox.

if you want art as well as function, then look in the japanese knife co in baker st, that's where inchpincher got this beauty

was a fair bit more than 50 notes though

The invisible edge ones @mashton linked to look smart. Cooks knife is £47

^^ Stahp!

you know you want to..

I like my Henckels knives this set is good value: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Henckels-Star-3pce-Promotion-Set/dp/B0014FCIQY/ref=sr_1_5?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1418387194&sr=1-5&keywords=zwilling+knife

Just upgraded my MBP with an SSD, bought a new external hard drive and another pair of AJ1s this month... That's me all spent out for 2014...

Besides, we may be flying through Japan in April to get to Oz... If so I'll go straight to the source!

Yeah the reason I'm on this thread is to stop me spending £200 on a Japanese knife!

Yeah that looks really nice I think I'll go with that or that set you've linked to

took my friend in there to get something for not that much money and you could be surprised at what you can get. Worth a gander.
You get to hold em...then give them a go on some tomatoes
purrr

I'm now sort of leaning towards the ones that @Soul linked to in the food thread:
