Small UK legal folder

[bmot]

LM C33 is all I can think of at the time being.

Nice thought,but it's not UK legal

Then again, are -you- UK legal? 
















 

[kirk13]

Well,my passport says I am...

[JAfromMn]

The made in USA ukpk have a much stronger backspring and s30v blades but are much more expensive.

I do think that you get what you pay for.

[Essexman]

Hmmm, I would've sworn I saw a locking bar on that green one.    Well, anyway... I do like the look of that green one

Ah yes it does look lie a locking bar. But it extends further back and has a ball indent making it a non locking knife. Clever eh?

Aah, so it doesn't actually "click closed", clever indeed

You may well be right,but a quick search showed the S30V UKPK at nearly £150! For that I could get a SwissTool,and a BD1 UKPK and have change.

It does lead me back to the question a keep asking: what extra value do these exotic steels offer? I have a pair of VG10 Ladybugs,and whilst they're good,I can't quite see why they cost so much

Its already been ordered. I knew I had to have one the second I saw it.
 Question is if it is any good. Will it become a part of the EDC rotation or will it become just another shelf queen with many of the other classic/traditional knives that everyobody must have...

[dks]

It is a very sharp, utilitarian knife.
The blades are a bit thick ( a bit too thick) and  the design is very basic but it can be easily adjusted.

They are, most importantly, very unusual to European eyes and are a great conversation starter.

Here are a couple of mine, the cheap and the more expensive common versions (not too expensive)
The cheap one is smoother, though the larger one is the"real" one.

        What about an Alox Solo or a Case Sodbuster?

[Zed]

The grasshopper is a great little knife

What about a traditional portuguese Palaçoulo "corta-e-pica" (cut-and-stick)?
Very multitoolish, bottle opener and all.

I've not seen one of those before! Are they like Opinels ? Is there a back spring? Can you get them without the forks?

No. No. Yes.
 

They have some similarity with Opinel. Like an Opinel without the viroblock. There's also the forkless version and with a simple blade, without the bottle opener cut.

Take a look at these links:

You can even see a recent model, a tradicional wooden handle knife with linerlock!

+1 on the thanks. I could see myself ordering something in the new year!

[pfrsantos]

I have bought some stuff from them, too. Good prices and very fast delivery and good customer support.

Just got the two Martins folders :-) Nice sharp little knives made from stainless steel. The finish is not top notch, there are tool marks on the bolsters, but there is no blade play, and they cut very well. And they where cheap as chips. Here is a pic of them next to a Opinel no8.

If you criteria are the following:

1) cheap
2) easily replaceable if it gets lost/damaged
3) very light and thin
4) good quality manufacturer
5) easy to sharpen
6) can put on your keyring
7) stainless steel/totally corrosion resistant

Then I would highly recommend a Wenger Patriot.

There's a Carbon Fiber Spyderco on ebay that's UK legal, looked pretty sweet.

How to order such amazing knives online. These knives looks to serve so many purposes. I am looking for websites to buy knives online. It would be nice if you could suggest some of the good websites?

The Pingo would be my first pick. It just works so well. Many don't like the look of the handle and blade shape, but once it's in your hands, it great.

(Image removed from quote.)

Note - Pingo does not come with a thumb stud, that was added after purchase to enable OHO, ironic I know as it was designed to be 2HO.

Second I would go for squeak or Nano. Both are good, but the Nano again looks real odd, but works very well and cuts like a much bigger knife than it is.

You might also like the subcom, although a great design and groundbreaking it now seems a little dated by the others.
