Everday non-locking folder?

[Moonraker]

I like Opinels; but are Opinels without a locking ring safe? I nearly chopped me finger off a couple of times when I forgot to lock mine.

as dommyracer said the Opi No. 5 with a 60mm blade does not have a lockable ferrule. Or buy a NO. 6 with 73mm blade and simply remove the ferrule. Best single blade knife for the price and type. I prefer the reassurance of the locking function so put the ferrule back on when I am back in France or out in the countryside.

On this subject, does anyone have a handy url for the knife-wieldi..*ahem* carrying regs as they stand in the UK? Or failing that, does anyone know the basics off the top of their head?

Thanks

Back, back you eeeevil encourager. It's that type of behaviour that got me on here to begin with. I just attempted (badly) an advanced search of the forum for the info but thank you for posting me in the right direction before I was forced to persevere. :You_Rock_
