Big fan of my UKPK but would like to get something smaller for a backup. I do like the style of Spiderco knives particularly the style of opener.

idealy I want it 'UK legal' i.e. none locking with a sub 3 inch blade but fold down smaller than 3 inches

not realy after a SAK although it might be my fallback position if I cant find anything more suitable.

anyone have any suggestions?

cheers

Take a look at the Buck "Muskrat", its newest incarnation, which is made in China, costs about $25.00 (about12 pounds I think) has blade lengths of about 2.75 inches. It has a nice pointy long clip blade and a long spey blade, non-locking and made fron type 420 stainless steel so it holds a good edge and is not too hard to sharpen.

Those Trevor Ablett's look very nice but I was hoping for something in the same style but with a lanyard attachment

Theyr'e not pretty but if you're going for utilitarian I'd suggest one of the climbing folders made by Petzl like the large Spatha, it's a folder but the blade stays quite solidly open through friction and the large one has a 3" blade exaclty, the smaller one is serrated and mostly useless other than for cutting rope if a hurry:eek: . I have one to use at work and when I'm climbing and given it was made by a company that doesn't really 'do' knives it easily keeps a shaving sharp edge, I believe it's O1 steel too although don't quote me on that. Mine cost me 12.50 pounds (stupid american keyboard, can't do pound signs)
