In fairness, although the law states it’s the cutting edge that is relevant, I personally won’t edc a knife unless the whole blade length is sub 3”. This is purely because I have no confidence that the average police officer will know / understand the law well enough to make that distinction. I...

No it’s not. It’s saying that for this bit of legislation, which applies to zombie-style knives and machetes, that is how they are measuring blade length, for the purpose of that definition. EDC knives are governed by the wording in s139(2)(3) CJA1988 which clearly refers to the cutting edge of...

Makes you wonder how it ended up under your lawn in the first place… maybe check for a nearby body.

By the way, does anyone know if the Real Outdoors Forum still exists? I thought I would also post this on there, but all I get is a blank screen at the site address.

Yes, parliaments intention was that lock knives would be included in the s139 exemption. Sadly it was poorly worded in the legislation and the Court of Appeal upheld a lower court’s decision that with the current wording lock knives were not covered.

Curiously, the other night, a friend sent me a txt with this link in it. Thought I'd watch it on the IPhone Didn't sleep much after that! http://youtu.be/x4n9vK0_mdk While the rational mind says it's fake.... In the dark listening to the wind in the trees .... Not the best clip...
