Hi guys,

Makes perfect sense ..... a person carrying a locking blade might go completely crazy and start cutting throats ..... no danger of that if the blade doesn't lock. Glad someone has the foresight to pass such legislation.

I think it's more to do with the fact locking knives are more useful if you were going to start cutting throats.

It's not just us though, similar laws are being passed in the states as well. In fact, some of yours are even more restrictive than ours now.

We can still own some brilliant knives and I would love to see more people carrying them. Just simple single blade slipjoints. £10 and it would serve them for a life time.

Hey Greg,

Mark has a line on a cat who is making these neat little blades. Here's a thread about them: http://straightrazorpalace.com/conve...fe-thread.html There are a couple Asian markets down in Bridgeport and I know of at least one Asian weapons and cutlery shop in the area. I will make a point of stopping by and snooping around for you. If I find what you want, I am certain I can get one to you.

Christ that is a stunning knife. Congratulations on that one Mark. Lot of money for me though.

Interestingly enough my only custom is a friction folder. I love them, think they're absolutely brilliant knives. I have two svord peasants and my custom, which is from Brazil.

My custom is effectively the same as this in a different wood

If you are interested Gregg I will send you this one pictured below. You just have to pay shipping:

By the way, it is brand new just a bad scan I guess

Mark, that's extrememly generous. I will send you a PM now.

Thank you for the great picture post. I found a knife exactly like this laying in the ditch near my house during a walk. I have been looking around for anyone that could tell me anything about this knife. It is really something different than the buck knifes, and tactical knifes I have owned. Any further information would be really amazing.
