It is actually a t-handle screw driver. I only question its combat effectiveness.

But I still think local policemen would not be amused if they found out I was EDC-ing one. But then again push daggers are explicitly forbidden here.

Interestingly enough I think that older weapons (swords and such) and their reproductions are legal to own. Don't get me wrong, I like the design and all but the same thing probably makes it illegal to own in many parts of the world.
I think the cops around here would giggle if they saw me carrying that. "Oh, it's so cute, what's it for?" and the like.

An appropriate name I would say... I don't know if that would be legal in my country. But I would like to have the big one. Not for EDC or anything useful, just because it is so ludicrously big.

So how do you edc it? A belt sheath or something of that sort? Because I don't think I would be able to actually sit down it I somehow managed to stuff it in to the pocket of my jeans...
I recognised it as the knife you have. I think that I commented somewhere before that it is a folding sword? So how do you edc it? A belt sheath or something of that sort? Because I don't think I would be able to actually sit down it I somehow managed to stuff it in to the pocket of my jeans...
I carry mine everyday.

I think that when I finally decide to get one of the big boy knives I'll start with spyderco paramilitary. I won't be edc-ing it, but I want it.

I won't be edc-ing it, but I want it. well unless you're dead set on it, or in trying the compression lock, my recommendation for a first Spyderco would be a Salt/Pacific Salt in SE- it is lighter, and gives you more blade length than the PM for the weight, also carries thinner- H1 steel is unique to spyderco, and in SE it outputs any other steel in edge retention, ease of sharpening and toughness- has FRN with Bi-Directional texturing, a staple in Spyderco's designs, models and a classic of the brand, unlike G10 which you find almost everywhere and in every brand out there- it's way cheaper, even more if you buy outside of the US- it's getting changed for 2018, so these are the last ones available with the current design (the Para 3 is so recent you'll see many many more to come, and many sprints with interesting steels, colors and combinations available. It's had at least 4 sprints since its release already!) OFC any Spyderco is good for a "real first big folder" and you can't go wrong with the PM3, just something to consider...
