I think that knife may be illegal (to trade, not to own)? But I'm not enough of an expert to be sure...

Hi Plastic Ninja,

subject to confirmation of mountainm's post i will take the knife please.

I have been able to find a couple of similar ones for sale on uk websites to presume its ok. http://www.bladesandbows.co.uk/paratrooper-knife-silver-finish-3006-p.asp

on offer from me will be a pair of small 10 x 25 binos, a 58 pattern black plastic mug or a vango fold up burner in case - pics to come later today.

Mountie may have a point but as I am neither selling nor trading it I think
it will be ok. This is a gift as per the thread.
The collectors letter opener is yours as a gift mate.
Pm me with your address.
Cheers , Simon

It's neither assisted opening nor gravity opening so it's fine to trade and own in the UK.



I'd agree, I had an American military one years and years ago. If you tried to use it in a situation you'd be long gone before you got it open! Two handed opening and cack handed at best. Cool looking pieces though...

It's a pantograph knife - not a butterfly knife. But I had heard they were borderline?



Not sure mate, I don't know the laws that well.

It's probably one of those knives that look worse than they are and people assume they're illegal but I can't see why they would be over a fixed blade bowie or bushie as these are a hindrance to use unlike a sheath knife.

Cheers plastic ninja pm sent.

I did think it was a gravity nice on first look until i remembered an old paratrooper knife i had seen (which im sure was a pnatograph).
Will make a nice display piece though im hoping i can spruce it up for a bit of use too.

Hamster I'm not sure that there is enough spruce on the planet to make this a user.:deadhorse:
Just keep it for the display I'd say.

Maxpedition Micro Pocket Organizer - the inner liner is frayed slight due to my SAK catching the edge. Still plenty of life in it left. Just dont use it anymore
