Shame there 78mm though

You may have to snap the tip off in your victim to be fully street legal then

I will get one eventually, but what has stopped me getting one sooner is the sheer size of it folded and how it will blatantly stab you in the gut every time you bend over.

But we don't have a gut

[Neil]

I wasn't planning on carrying it on a daily basis (my gut would get in the way  ), I just fancied having a knife of that design.

Yet again though it's not the design that stopping me getting one, it's the price.

[Benner]

Yeah it's not cheap.

[nuphoria]

I picked one up a little while ago and it is a very nice knife. I carried it for a day or two but decided I didn't like it as much as my UKPK... main reason is that I carry them on the clip and the Bob T stands a little higher, or prouder from the pocket. Got a great snap and a very sharp blade - what you'd expect from a Spydie I guess.

Mebee I'll sell it... 
Could do with the cash back from it really but I hate selling potential EDC legal carry    We have so few bloody options.

Does anyone know if the Triple Eight Professional knives are legal to carry in the UK?

[John]

Does anyone know if the Triple Eight Professional knives are legal to carry in the UK?

The only knives legal to carry are slip jointed knives with a blade under £3 if 888 do knife around this spec they'll be fine  




[edit]  that'll be 3"'s not pounds

I knew that, I just didn't know if the knives met that criteria, because of their strange opening mechanism.

These are the knives I'm talking about http://www.888professional.com/products.html

Yeah I saw those well for me the blade kinda locks open by using the handles so I'm guessing not legal carry   in other words you cant put pressure either side of the blade to close,it will stay locked into place until you release the handle.

On top of that I'm not sure what UK customs would make of that unusual deployment 

[Benner]

Interesting knives.  Haven't really looked into those before.

Is this the bit you're worried about?

"(i) the weapon sometimes known as a "balisong" or "butterfly knife" , being a blade enclosed by its handle, which is designed to split down the middle, without the operation of a spring or other mechanical means, to reveal the blade;"

From the 1988 Criminal Justice Act.

While the 888 might fit the descriptive text, it isn't a balisong so I wouldn't be worried about importing one.  BUT having watched this video I'd definitely think of it as a locker.



All that said; I'm no lawyer or Judge.

Handy looking little knife though.
