Mine is a plain British Army clasp knife. Been all over the globe with me.. Simple tough tool.
Sorry Maddave,
But I couldn’t disagree with you more, I'm currently in the market for a new clasp knife and just found this thread.
The 68 mod may have been a good knife but the one I got in 2010 was S##t...
Here is my old post from worst kit ever.
Worst kit ever:
Web-Tex Maya Dust .........................save your cash, it’s as good as useless...
Vargo Titanium hexagon Stove............An exceptionally rubbish stove...
The new British army clasp knife..........I only got the new one to replace my lost Jack knife that my brother had given me while he was in the RNavy The first time I used the new one was to open an oyster shell, the tip bent, the second time I used it was to remove willow bark for cordage the lock spring was to weak it stayed down releasing the blade in my pocket I called the manufacturer and no joy from them, I was so annoyed and disappointed with the knife I put the blade under my boot and tried to snap the blade IT BENT ! round to about 90 degreesl, steel that soft couldn’t ever hold an edge long. Sheffield steel just ain't what it used to be...
Do not buy the Ibberson ones as they don't take an edge worth a damn.
Hi Jacknife,
Just found this and you certainly weren’t wrong about the edge, talk about soft, I only wish I had read your post about the Whitbe’s before I bought the knife, just a total waste of 22 Quid........
Not so good news here ether, I quite fancied the new Cold Steel Hold Out lll to review which is ok for the £30-£40 asking price in the US but it certainly isn’t worth the £70 some UK companies are asking here.
I could by a Benchmade, Kershaw or even a low end Boker for that kind of cash.
