Of course, it’s still a bad idea to take your SAK to the pub. so there are limits.Agree 100%But lets be honest; it's pretty much a daily occasion in cities like Dublin and Limerick, that someone gets jumped or attacked, so I would say that there is a good reason for the law being written the way that it is here in Ireland.I tend to think that London and etc have the same problem.

It would require a lot of modding around the pivot area. ST300 tools are compatible with Surge.What's wrong with the Rebar's own phillips?
Awesome homemade bit adaptor MMR, how did you make it?
Nice work on the modded Rebar and the bit adapter Nice work in making it UK legal and keeping it very functional What about the awl though I guess that would depend on the officer
Nice. That adaptor wasn’t done the way I expected, so, interesting.

Glad I pointed it out as I am sure there (like here) you have both reasonable officers and those thay are a bit more gung ho Hate for you to lose your Rebar over a technicallity
One thing that comes to mind is a pry bar made from a large flat screwdriver by grinding a V-notch in it and beveling off one edge... it's still on my list as a possible mod for my Rebar. In your case you'd be able to replace the can opener with it and retain the large flat driver - i.e. you'd need one extra.One also wonders if perhaps a package opener à la Wingman (short curved blade pointing inwardly) might escape being considered a sharp pointed object... not sure if there's enough metal to make it lockable in a Rebar, though, but maybe others have done this already.Or an SOG V-cutter, but this might need extensive modding. I believe Obi1shinobee managed to get one in his Reblaster. Alternatively, reconsider the scissors... these are very rarely regarded as objectionable. Wave scissors are a straight drop-in, with the thumb tab occasionally needing shortening depending on where you put it.
