Guessing you are an Amercian? Must be nice to live in a free country.[/QUOTE]
No, I'm SouthAfrican but living over on the Isle of Man now (my Wife is from here).
I was not trying to be pedantic on this thread but comming from a place where just about everyone has some sort of knife, usually for a legit reason and no laws prohibiting the carying, I find it a bit sad that there should be such harsh laws for knives when it seems to be the minority that have through their thoughtless behaviour, made it so difficult for everyone else.
This is why I made the comment about just carrying the tool of bushcraft.
It would be better (I think) if the harsh law was reviewed and people such as those on this forum be alowed to carry the knife, unhindered, none of us (I hope) are of the sort to stab or injure folk, that behaviour seems to be mainly one genere , youth who belong to gangs or who suffer from behaviour problems.
Just frustrating realy to see other countries that embrace bushcraft and its relative activities when in the UK laws seem to hamstring the good folk that just want to camp wild or carry a knife, light a fire or roam.
