What's your every day pocket knife?

[Daniel]

If mine gets wet it's a real pain to open due to swelling but it can go to the other extreme and have no resistance at all.

Thanks for that Stew, I wasn't aware of that! I'll try and make sure mine doesn't get wet!!!

...value for money I still say they are hard to beat

I agree with you! If my knife did get loose or broke somehow, I wouldn't mind forking out another 5 quid for a new one!

Christopher, your opinel is illegal to carry in the UK because that neat ring locking mechanism makes it a lock knife. Lock knives are illegal unless you can provide a good excuse for carry, such as religious reasons, or you need it for a particulr work related task. I generally carry a Chris Reeve small sebenza, yes it locks, but I have a good excuse.

Oh, leatherman waves are illegal too BTW, for the same reason.

what about Charge XTi's?

Cheers

 

[Stuart]

also illigal for carry in a public place for the same reason as the wave, the blades lock

I carry a Stan Shaw (Sheffield) pen knife most days , I have a old Leatherman PST in my bike repair kit and when I go into the woods I carry a Puma Cadet aswell as a fixed blade.

Case Trapper

That wood looks like its extremely resinous? Looks like excellent kindling!

mojofilter...its fat pine/lighter knot...maybe sometimes referred to as mayawood...excellent tinder and burns hotter than 7 kinds of Hades...fairly common in my area and I collect and carry some to use as a firestarter...

I work at the local college, so I'm on half term this week and have spent it at home or walking locally, so my this has been my pocket knife

Gene Ingram Pocket Shortcut Wharncliffe

Slips nicely into a pocket...

Back to work on Monday (but at least I'll still have My Spyderco UK Penknife )

Hellz

Hellz,
That's really nice little knife

 

[Hellz]

Thanks, I think so too

I'm back at work today ( ) with my Spyderco Penknife, but I'm looking into getting something legal but different (for variety)

I've been looking at the Case Baby Doctor or the Case Seahorse Whittler, but that trapper looks interesting too...

Where did you get it?

If you mean the UKPK then www.heinnie.com is the only place I know of that has it.
Mine is my EDC but I think it's going back for replacement

 

[Hellz]

Where did you get it?

If you mean my pocket Wharncliffe it is a custom job by Gene Ingram.

Currently my everyday knife is a leatherman supertool. Yup, I know it's now illegal, but I'd hope to be able to explain it away as a work tool - wire stripping, screwdrivers etc. I changed from a 4" buck locking folder after they made that more illegal than when it was just a little illegal. I bought it when it was still legal - sheesh.

Having read the act and the knives article here, isn't a properly sharpened pencil now illegal.

 

[Larry Death]

I have one of these with me at all times.

Handy little Whitby.

 

[bushwacker bob]

I use one of those for work.Whitby have a reputation for cheap knives,but credit where its due,mine is exellent. Its easy single hand opening, easy to sharpen,locks securely and holds an edge despite lots of abuse.

Mine's been very usefull. I can't fault it. It's seen a lot of use over 5 years and is still a tip-top knife.

 

[Rebel]

At the moment mine is the part serrated one of these. I know some folk don't like part serrated but I find it really useful. I have both knives but I prefer the part serrated for general tasks.

Anyway I've decided to change it for a cheaper Kershaw Vapor I. I'm expecting it in the post in a couple of days .

I'm less worried about damaging this one. It's a solid knife, I already own it's bigger brother and I like the shape and feel of it. I think they are a bargain at the low prices you can get them for.

 

[flibb]

I use one of these kershaw linerlock knives. I use it at work a lot as its very easy to handle single handed, opens and closes quickly, has a good belt clip, and is very sharp.
