Great thread!

Cool, I am learning but slow.

Hi rogue.

Very nice!

Both those knives are very nice indeed, can any one tell me how the top bolsters are made, from what materials and do they look good in the flesh or are there any flaws on them.

I have heard of the band, but no I did not know before you said about what he sang.

I am glad i did not offend you whitehorn, I think it is only a matter of time before carrying a knife in the UK will get you jail time, just like guns,pepper spray and stunguns do.Its a sad fact that the only properly armed people here are the criminals.

Mr jerber you are right of course i should take more care over my responces and i apologise for any offence caused.

whitehorn, any folding knife with a blade under three inches that does not lock in the open position is legal to carry anywhere even in public and this does include most swiss army knives, in fact any folding knife is legal to carry as long as you can prove it is for a valid reason ie work or on you...

You cannot carry knives legally here but the penalties are minimal usually a fine, there is talk of a mandatory sentence for knife carry like there is for guns.
As for muggers using guns,some obviously will but they are hard to find expensive and the penalties severe.

In England carrying a gun for protection means five years in jail not even muggers use guns here its usually knives or bats.

Vagrant is right we english do use the term "flick knife" for a switch blade I dont know why I much prefer "switch blade"

I personally do not like safetys on a knife, I dont think they are needed at all I would never carry my knife in the same pocket as keys or coins I have seen what they do to a cell phone and would never let my knife get all scratched up, can you imagine needing your knife in a hurry when being mugge...

welcome friend you will learn a lot here on the subject of auto knives, i certainly have.

alright there mate,welcome from woody in the UK
