Wooliness in the wording around the definition of flick knife, specifically: ‘other device in or attached to the knife’ in reference to the opening mechanism. There’s some concern that this might extend to one-hand opening blades. UKBF already routinely seize knives with flipper tabs claiming they’re illegal, even though there’s no spring opening the blade.

Which bit would bring one hand opening knives into the definition of flick knives? I skimmed through but thought the new wording's use of "automatically" would mean more than just a thumb hole or stud. Would really suck if owning a Leatherman wave becomes illegal!
