Is the Swisscard UK legal? Because technically it's a sheath knife, but it seems so small and innocent...  :'(

To the letter of the law, no.  Its classed as a fixed blade.  In the real world I'm not aware of anyone ever having received even the slightest bit of grief for having one though :)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

HM Customs don't make the law, they simply apply it. And not very well at times it seems  ::)


Ah but it doesn't matter what's written in the law, only how it's interpreted.

I'm sure whoever wrote the fixed bladed law didn't anticipate how one retard judge and scumbag lawyer can turn it into something completely different. And the guy wrote gravity knife law here didn't expect it to be applied to regular folder with loose pivot.

Oh for sure :)

Just reminded me actually - these lightweight UKPKs are now in stock in the UK of people want them without running the gauntlet!

That's about half the price of the regular UKPK :tu:

Cheap as chips too!  If you want me to keep an eye out for one, drop me a PM,  I know a man that imports them over at BB.

They were machined on a CNC minimill in the US by a CPF member, but he appears to have stopped making them now. Mine were the first he made.
