Belt buckle knife...hmmmm

[Whittler Kev]

Just came across this belt buckle knife. Thought some might be interested (bugout stuff?) but not sure if I would carry it . Reviews seem good. About £10

I had a lovely belt buckle knife made for me in the mid 80s.

I gave it away in the end. I wouldn't wear that one unless I had a craving for porridge.

Thank you I was looking for that to quote.


I think HM the Q's customs and excise men would have you for trying to import such an item too.
I had a 2LU to review, and Sargey's opinion was that I'd have gotten done for carrying it since it was too much like a push dagger.
It's a minefield at times sussing out what we can and cannot have. No wonder my sons are praying for an amnesty when I croak it

cheers,
Toddy

Sad to say I own pretty much that entire list. I can also prove that I owned them pre 1988 when they were banned and use them to teach martial arts.
