Hm Do you want it to be OHO (one hand opening) or would a 2HO be OK too? My favorite 111mm is the Outrider. The problem with the 111mm is that they lock. Not a good thing considering UK knife laws.

So I was thinking that even though the UK law states a non locking blade 3" or smaller is ok to carry around - would this be ok to have and use in my own home?

My fav 111mm probably isnt the most exciting, but I really like the plain edge OH trekker. I avoided the 111 size for awhile as I thought they were all serrated, and I prefer plain.(Image removed from quote.)

But my 2 fav 111mm Vics would for sure be the hercules and plain blade OH trekker.As enki said as well though the wenger rangers are excellent.

So I was thinking that even though the UK law states a non locking blade 3" or smaller is ok to carry around - would this be ok to have and use in my own home?In short yes. UK knife law is a bit blurry to say the least. Effectively the rules are, as quite rightly said 3" non-locking blade - but that is for carrying. You can carry and use anything providing there is reasonable justification, for example, if you were camping or fishing, working on the land etc it would be fine. Wandering round town, going for a pint etc - would absolutely not be fine and you could reasonably expect arrest. Use at home or on one's own land is perfectly legal. If apprehended with a larger blade in public it is down to the discretion and judgement of the apprehending officer. Carry safely and sensibly and all should be well PS I regularly use a 111mm forester, plain blade, corkscrew (to hold the glasses screwdriver naturally ), awl, saw, screwdriver with cap lifter and can opener. It's a good tool
I like the Wenger Rangers 57/58 myself a bit more because of the additional blade. The Ranger that I personally like most of all is the RangerWood 55, solid beautiful walnut scales (pic from SakWiki):(Image removed from quote.)
It really was a good choice - I have fallen in love with the 111 mm size
