I really like that stealth knife.

Actually this very knife might be available less the hipster tax. It was my understanding that the Japanese Knife Co commissioned this range but I managed to find out who the blacksmith was via this photo dump

Which then lead me to this site which has it at €99.00. Ah well.

good detective work, ip, although i feel your dischuff, but you have a beautiful article

Looks useful...

Trying to find a picture to give some scale but £900 odd quid and doesn't come with its own holdall but it is a record breaker!

Read about a new forge in Peckham making knives called Blenheim Forge. Their stuff is very nice - picked this up from there out of their cheaper offerings. However the Damascus steel stuff is beautiful but sadly out of my price range.

The leatherman wingman has a blade that is 2.5" long and locks is it legal?
I Just got one the other day and like the spring action incorporated into the pliers. Picture taken from the net

Not my work but something to aspire to, especially the damascus tang / blank / blade

Just had the plastic bolster go on one of those cheap Stellar Samurai knives (not my favourite one, I think they go if you don't keep the handle ydrated WTF!?!), pretty annoying cuz I've only used it once or twice... It's going back to TK Maxx the next chance I get... #buycheapbuytwice

When did Sheffield steel not become the 'steel' to use with knives?

Can anyone reccomend a really good, ideally good looking chefs knife for a gift? Ideally less than £50

I should look into getting commission:

I've ordered the chef and occasional stealth knives by the way....

Got a friend who's going back to the US for Christmas bringing them back with her.

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.

There seems to be quite a bit of misinformation about the legality of various knives over the last few pages. It's been a while since I looked into it but I'm very sure the following summary is true.

If the police deem that you have an offensive weapon they can arrest you. Whether that be a machete, a screwdriver, or a metal-bodied pen. This will often be dictated by location and you - ie a screwdriver in your waist band at a football match vs one your tool belt on the way to a building site. But ultimately it's up to them to justify and you to contest.

If you want to carry a fixed or locking blade or one that's over 3" you need a reason.

If you want to carry a folding non locking blade under 3" you don't need a reason. (obviously the offensive weapon thing still applies)

If you're white, middle class and in a suit you can probably carry what you like (provided you have a reason) and in the event the police do try and charge you, make sure they know you'll contest it and promise to waste their time. If you're not, don't want the hassle of arguing, or can survive without a fixed/locking blade you'll have less problems with what people term as 'UK legal' ie non fixed, non locking, sub-3".

SAK / similar are even better as sacredheart points out it 'looks' like the sort of thing that's OK. A quick Google shows people have still had grief over 'UK legal knives' that look aggressive.

^ Yup nice summary. I seem to remember a story in the paper not so long ago about an old guy who got busted by traffic police for having a penknife in the glovebox of his car.

Lets not forget things like big metal torches in cars can be classed as weapons.

Unfortunately I suspect hugo7 comment of white middleclass, not necessarily in a suit won't get stopped and searched.

The true story: http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Police-arrested-disabled-fruit-knife-man/story-11739409-detail/story.html

Also contains the legality of knives as it was in 2010. Well worth a read.

a bit odd this story, which knife was it?

I am disgusted by you daily fail link ;)

Wonder what happened for a white, middle aged man to be caught? Is it racist to say that the met stop more black youngsters? EDIT in comparison to the rest of the London population?
