    Ahhh, of course now I see. I'm not sure if I like that Emerson Opening Feature (EOF, pronounced yof). However, I do feel very strongly that these clip type folders should only be carried point up which is why the EOF works.

    I just really like the idea of being able to open my knife one handed when my hands are greasy or impaired by mittens or gloves.

    Emerson Opening is Spyderco's version of the wave feature. the spike coming out of the blade hooks on the edge of your pocket.

    The reverse edge is the heart of the style designed for extreme close quarters combat.

    It is highly effective.

    Default Schrade Kious

    Here is a knife I feel you would enjoy Brad! Its not a newfangled knife but is truly a thing of beauty!
    This is a Schrade/Joe Kious collaberation! Two blades, reverse congress style, beautiful damascus, And just one beauty of a knife! See the twist pattern on the back spring and the spines of the two blades? when the blades are open there is no interuption in the twist pattern! Oh, and the blades have half stops, and do I ever love half stops!

    Pictures don't do it justice! Scans either!

    Hey Mark, thanks for showing us that knife. You're right. I dig it muchly. It's a triple threat for me. I like Schrade knives. I like jigged bone handles. I like the worked spine and bolsters.

    Mark, do you have a collection of Schrades?

    And the blade length is > 3", which makes it a three pointer. No can do either if I recall correctly

    I asked their advice before I visited the UK a couple of months ago.
    I had to resort to carrying a swiss 2" blade, non-locking penkife if I wanted to carry one.
    My regular carry (locking spyderco delica) would have me thrown in jail as soon as I went through customs.
    yEAH, that ticks me off. I'm going to London for a week in December. I won't even be able to take my Leatherman since it locks.

    Dumb british knifelawmaking people.

    I can raise you one better.

    And yes, that is sad.

    Over here, the laws manage a good balance. Knives are allowed as long as they can't spring open automatically.

    But the concept of our laws have 2 definitions:
    - weapons which are banned
    - illegal weapons.

    a banned weapon is any weapon that is on a list that is published in a specific decree. owning such a weapon is illegal, period. On this list are mostly the items that have become popular because of the movies. Spring knives, throwing stars and nunchucks are on this list.
    But the concept of an illegal weapon depends on locality and intent. For example, my EDC spyderco is not banned. But if I tried smuggling it into a courthouse or assaulted someone with it, it would be classified as an illegal weapon and as such would land me in a world of trouble.
