Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
The Bushcraft Store Boar in natural micarta is currently priced at £45. If carving is your thing then a scandi grind should work well for you.

Chaps, we are looking for a heavy duty wood carver, not just a nice sub-£40 legal EDC. A friend of mine has a Wasp and we both agree that it is too thin and light for wood carving.
The ckrt journeyer is a good knife. Not best build quality but can be locked In to fixed blade via a small pin. Which unfortunately quickly gets lost. I've had that one handed back to me by the ol bill once. But my edc is the Viper Dan 2. Awesome slip joint and is beautiful with the carbon scales. Modified Wharncliffe, sharp as shite and a really nice design. Is expensive though

I like using the mora eldris at the moment, small blade with a sturdy handle. I appreciate it isn't a friction folder, it is a handy knife
He means he's after a knife that is section 139 compliant rather than needing an acceptable reason for carrying a fixed blade, Lock knife or slipjoint over 3 inches.
May be.
The problem is that a kitchen or outdoor knife is a tool and no weapon.
And that tools are needed, how the hunter needs the rifle or a carpenter a saw.
In Germany normal fixe bladed knifes up to 12 cm are legal to carry for everybody. And that is a relatively new law. (Before we could run around with a sword in the streets.)
In my opinion you have to found a bushcraft association to justify legal carrying of knifes, saws and axes if you are a member of the bushcraft association or the boy scouts.
It is incredible that Britain declares former boy scout knifes as illegal weapons. What's going on in your country???
I am not so sure about, if your state would still exist, if Baden Powell wouldn't have founded the boy scouts.
I think, in this times Britain wasn't so far away from a revolution.

It's really not. It's fixed so regardless of blade length, it falls into illegal territory. The law is vague but that much is clear

I know that nordic outdoors(Edinburgh) had a register book for knife purchasers, am sure i had to show id to prove my details were correct.
Well when idiots like bear grills are head of the scouts it's no wonder they banned scout knives! Probably worried kids will go around skinning animals to make anew emergency shelter in all seriousness though, there are a fair amount of idiots in this country that carry a knife for " protection" innit blud. So it's easier for them to ban all than find an alternative.
That would be the case as the new laws for sellers require Id nowadays. But UK knife law does not allow for any fixed or locking knife to be carried without good reason. Have a read. It's surprisingly shallow but direct I guess.

Pretty sure slip joints are acceptable. Non locking and under 3 as a rule for UK edc
