Post Your Edged Weapons Thread

[Trail-Boss]

To be fair, I would totally own a gun and knives if they were legal but no way would I want to re legalise guns in the UK or change the current knife laws.

What are the knife laws like where you are?

[dstrctn]

I know this thread is irrelevant to this question but I think most of the knife guys know something about flashlights as well.

Would you recommend the SureFire G2X Pro as a basic entry level LED flashlight? I need a something to keep in my car.

+to add to this thread I recently acquired a gerber ultralight lst

Last time I checked, London had a huge problem with teenage gangs running around stabbing people. At least we use ours responsibly!

must of been a few years ago, knife crime has been on the decline recently. plus kids get stabby cos they can't get shooty.

last time i checked the usa had a problem with teenage gangs running around shooting people. at least we use our guns responsibly!:cheers:

when i worked as a studio assistant i carried a leatherman, hardly ever used it... in a bikeshop i carried a park tools allen key set, no need to carry a blade. in a warehouse, if i needed a blade, i'd get one. no one with half a fucking braincell would use a knife to open a box, too easy to damage the goods. all you need to do is use your hands. working on a building site (construction to the americans) i never needed a blade. power tools, hods, barrows, yeah. knives? nope. as a kp (kitchen porter) i never needed a knife. same for working in a pub, shoe shop, paper boy, cycle messenger and all the other bollocks jobs i had to do as a kid. never needed a knife.

but if you need one, fair play. i never have. i've never lived in suburbia, i've always had the convenience of living in a city or on a farm. i guess it is different for you lot.

Under 3" blade, no lock.

Edit- Speaking for the UK, though I'm in the us.

[Skypilot]

Over here you're not allowed to carry a locking or fixed blade without a motive (i.e hunting, fishing, hiking...), but there is no limitation to blade size.

I like this idea

[Brendan O.]

Out fishing. Be right back!

Also, for the not natives; image-googling "guy with huge sword" yields a different kind of results than one might think of beforehand.

[wheelr]

I like this idea

I don't.  What you are using the knife for is subjective.  Blade length is not.

I'd rather a cop have to break out a tape measure than make a judgment call on me.

I just got a Kershaw Scallion folder.

you may have never felt you needed a knife,every job up there you have had i had one similar and used a knife on everyone of them atleast once a day.

and the last sentence of that last paragraph explains it all.it is 2 different countries and the population of those countries have differing opinions on personal protection,hobbies,and other reasons to have a weapon.what is the hard part of grasping this deal are you missing
