KNIFE BUYING GUIDE

I hope to make you guys other flow charts for things like tents, sleeping bags, kayaks, etc going forward. That way it will be easier to respond to common questions.

If you make one that lets you decide between:
>2 different one-handed folders
>2 different two-handed folders
>2 different bushcraft knives
>a Mora
>a K-Bar and one other fighting knife
>SAK
>Opinel
>5 more specialized models

with relevant requirements, you could actually make something good. And I'd be glad to polish it up a bit (designerfag here).

Well to be honest, it led me to a Mora, which is pretty good.

I'm a Morafag so i'm saving this to post in every single "what knife do I need" thread.

If it doesn't take you down the path of the heavenly Mora you're wrong

Why are you recommending a folding Gerber over an Opinel, SAK or Leatherman?

The small SAK's are.
Opinels, Gerber and Leatherman aren't.
They have high capacity assault locks whose only purpose is to stab people.

because
a) they took our guns
or
b) it's much more fun watching the Tories tear themselves apart because MUH YUROP
or
c) no sensible person cares because they act responsibly & go about their business even though they have technically been made a criminal by over-zealous bureaucracy

Where could you get Mora's in the states? I'd rather not have to order it from Sweeden.

But what needs to change? I regularly carry a knife with a locking blade & give literally no fucks. It's very much not the case that I'm a badass Yardie wannabe, the exact opposite, I'm a perfectly average citizen whom the po-po have no reason to stop & search.

As an aside to this I've also seen police officers carrying Leatherman's. Now that's something which isn't police issue so surely their carrying them, even when on duty, must be against the law?

If you've got a reason to need a locking / over 3in knife then you're allowed to carry one. Work is the best example, so the cops are covered there. As am I, being a farm worker, which is kinda handy.

Locking and/or over 3 inch blade is not allowed without good reason.

Kinda gay but kinda sensible I suppose.. Unfortunately there's a bit of a hysteria about knives in the uk so being on the safe side with the "good reason" bit is the name of the game.

Not according to the law you're not
>Lock knives (knives with blades that can be locked when unfolded) are not folding knives, and are illegal to carry in public.
>https://www.gov.uk/find-out-if-i-can-buy-or-carry-a-knife
So I hope you're on private land when so doing.

That's misleading, and not part of law.

This actually is (or at least close enough):
> it is illegal to: carry a knife in public without good reason - unless it’s a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less, eg a Swiss Army knife

The bit you posted actually refers to the fact that the law says "readily folding" which has been interpreted as "non locking" by those whose opinion carries weight in these matters.

There's a lot of misinformation about this whole fiasco. I really should just post the relevant legislation:

I might add that when I say "law says readily folding" I mean that that's what a particular case decided a "foldign knife" was. And that means non locking. That's stood since then.
