I do love a good honing. But doesn't that give too fine an edge on a knife?

My knives are work horses, I'd have them on the stones all the time trying to maintain that.

Geek

I am happy with my kitchen knives off of a norton 8k, for my pocket knives when honing I use my bbw. Most of the time I run them through a blade medic so the only occasionally get on a hone.

I was thrown cozz I'm sure it should have 2 b's lol

This is what I am carrying this week. I put it in my pocket on Saturday as we left and it's been used every day so far... So a good grab on our trip out.

I have started carrying the blade medic...

Its a touchy question lol. The wording on the gov website says a folding blade on 3 inches or less. However the actual act (section 49 of the criminal law consolidation act 1995) clearly states...

Cheers mate.

Its a grand looking knife.

What size is that mate? Looks a bit big for a UK legal. Might just be the image though. Also it's very nice. Where did you get it?

Hah, I have the same affliction, however, delivery on my overspends can't be beat 😀.

Hennie Haynes? 😁

That does suck, always hurts to loose a good knife. I tend to wear my edc in a pouch on my belt as I also don't like to fill my pockets. Come to think of it, a lot goes on my belt besides my belly 😁...

Indeed heh. Feel free to list.

So is it pure utility? Just because you like to? Security? Because the edc you have is somewhat sentimental?

Geek

Just a curiosity.

Clearly we all edc a knife.

But why? I'm interested in the thoughts from a range of folk, because we are an international community.

Geek

That is a lovely knife. I think I've just found a daddy day gift

I got one of these from my brother in law for Christmas. It is a lovely knife, but alas not edc in the UK as it locks....

For those of you who haven't yet seen it, this is the lansky world legal knife. I've shown it in hand to let you judge the size.

While this does in fact meet the criteria to be legal here in the...

Today I received a lansky world legal. This thing is a beast, far too big for EDC in the city here. I think it will become my out walking knife.

Geek

Might sound like an obvious suggestion...

My EDC is kept in a small pouch on my belt. It's big enough to accommodate any of the legal to carry knives I ow n.

I was looking at one of the crusader. But the tern fitted better into my price range lol. I believe it doesn't hold an edge as well as the ukpk but I've yet to need to take it to the hone. It was...

And here it is. I can't speak for the blade as of yet. Only just got it. But it feels good in the hand. Nice and comfortable. Also fits well in the watch pocket of my jeans. This is a benefit to me...

Had a little few extra pennies this week so put it to good use and ordered myself a byrd tern this morning. Hopefully it'll get to me tomorrow :)

Geek

I'm seriously cobs9dering the Byrd Tern as its capable of obe handed opening and non locking but also includes a choil to stop slicedy fingers.

Geek

I have indeed churchwarden and that is quite a nice looking one. What knife is that?

Geek

Thanks mainaman, the colt canumoe I have is a slipjoint. But not a one handed opening.

I agree, lets not turn it into one of "those" discussions. Britain has its laws and I am happy to work within...

I would rather lie a 1 handed opener but itbhas to be uk street legal. Anyone any ideas? By uk street legal i mean a non locking blade under 3inch.
