Dwardo has clearly stated not only the law, but how bushcrafters perceive good behaviour.

What you are advocating is illegal, it is neither encouraged or condoned here.

This is the sticking point; you are not actually taking in the information given to you.

If you wish to discuss anarchy type scenarios then this is not the place for you.

No, I will have a blade for a means of survival.
See, you are making things up also.

Then it should be safely stowed in the bottom of your pack until needed and not readily at hand for "self defence"
On that note there have been lots of dicussions by some very knowledgeable folk over on British blades about the use of knives in that kind of situation and it really isnt good for either party, even worse without years of martial arts training.
The best way to avoid this situation is not to get into it in the first place. Honest just trying to save you from having to wear a pillow case as a skirt for a few months/years.

This site has some info on blade steels too, obviously only on ones they use.

BTW I was kinda on your side until that last post!

Cheers

Strapped to my leg is not readily available, its concealed, it will be under my clothing, in the thigh region. It will be there incase my pack is mugged. Im just trying to cater for alk scenarios, I can go to legal size... that is not a problem. But I will still ask for a permit from police for a larger blade.

The police will not give you a permit for a larger blade, IT'S THE LAW ! They will not change the law for your trip.

Dont take this as condecending please but the problem here is your plan not your self defence options. That and i think you are listening to the press scaremongering and taking it too far. Yes there are some evil so and so`s about but dont let this make you think the whole world is out to get you.
You should not be wondering around cities at night especially at night with a bag full of knives.
It sounds like the problem here is with your overall route and plan rather than anything else.

 

[Toddy]

What is your problem, multi ? You have already been told.........there are *no* licences for *larger blades*, there are no licences for knives, full stop.

What you are advocating is at best incredibly stupid and at worst down right illegal.

Please go and actually read the responses people have given you on this thread and the others you started.

Toddy

MOD hat on, banned multi for a week as a time out; despite clear information and good advice, he has repeatedly posted that he intends to carry a knife for self defence.
BcUK will neither condone or encourage illegal activity. I told him to go and actually read the replies folks had posted and pay heed.
