I cannot believe I am typing this again. If you check out Memory Code by Dr Lynne Kelly (The book version of her PhD thesis so you could read that instead) and British Woodland by Ray Mears in that order. The thing that strikes me as really interesting is the way they saw the world. Ray...

One of the things that surprised me in British Woodland was how many woods are used for different things. If you want to go really early, yew as it the oldest used so far. Apparently Rowan is to be avoided as it does not last.

Beat me to it. Love that thread. Be prepared for very sharp knives. Kyle Noseworthy is worth a look. (Damn he has sharpen a Kansbol finally.)

Beautiful!

Yeah had not noticed that however it hit and miss as some stuff hardened so check and maybe ask the question.

British Woodland and Memory Code are really worth a read in this regard.

Me too so Kindle become a necessity. Weirdly I prefer to read now on my kindle or computer however I often buy the book regardless. Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes read by Stephen Fry. Also Ray reads British Woodland himself. Dresden Series read by James Masters.

Thanks!

Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me for a minute as it green/blue mix which looks really green to me. To be fair did you mean the flag colour which is Pantone 280 C very nice darkish blue colour.

That a good idea and not £40. What size and do you put it over the working end?

lol that what he would have said.

I saw this video and I do not like orange thanks to Bear Grylls. If anyone knows what blue the international orange is being changed to, please speak up? That said I have taken the idea onboard and am to a certain extent doing what Woody Girl does going forward in that everything will get...

That Gear Guy in his video on this uses the BOKER Plus XS as an example of one caught in the change which Hennie are still advertising as UK Legal... I think the UKPK was designed with the help of British Blades so there would have been Lawyers involved however you might want to check out That...

You may have the term precedents in US legal dramas well that is case law in the UK so there is a written law and then judges get involved. There is a case Regina v Deegan: CACD 4 Feb 1998 were the judgement in Harris v Director of Public Prosecutions; Fehmi v Director of Public Prosecutions...

The Judge said in charles broker vs dpp 2005 that a knife blade does not have to be sharp to be a knife blade under the law. You will see that both Police forces say Blade and not cutting edge as per the law.

The law is Criminal Justice Act 1988 which says: 139 - Offence of having article with blade or point in public place. E+W (1) Subject to subsections (4) and (5) below, any person who has an article to which this section applies with him in a public place shall be guilty of an offence. (2)...

I was looking for the thing about taking the ring off an Opinel not making it UK legal and saw BlackBelt Barristers new Knife videos. It is like the locking knife decision a Judge made it in Charles Brooker vs the Director of Public Prosecutions case.

That still requires the good reason exemption to cover it. This is a change to the 3" non-locking knife rule.

I may have missed the post however did people know the UK knife law has changed a little bit in that the length of blade is now the total length of blade and not just the sharp bit? Just double checked my Rough Rider Canoe which is the first of my Nessmuk set and it 3 inches under the new law so...
