LOL, fair enough.

Heinnies have slippy Cases!! Woohoo!

Lusting over them as we speak

[nuphoria]

Mmm yummy 

I don't usually do the blue thing, or the bone thing but that Blue Canoe has got my juices flowing a tad...

[Gareth]

I didn't know Case did knives with scissors as well.

Yeah, but they offer only expensive Cases.

They should offer Sodbuster Jr. and some of the other patterns from Case's "Working Series" that sell for less than $20.

These have Delrin scales and aren't finished to as high a standard as other Cases, but they are robust knives that offer good value for EDC.

[Benner]

Oh I agree, but it's a start.

Oooh, so they do 

[AddictedToTools]

Do the same laws apply to children? I know this 12 year old who wants to carry a sub 3 inch, non locking penknife. Is this legal?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I'm not sure tbh

Well, ours does! 

[Benner]

I believe the only age restriction is for buying and not carrying.  Could be wrong though.

[ryan1835]

so this would make a charge illegal?

what if im using it for work?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

As long as you've a good reason (like your job) then it's ok

But it's probably only a matter of time before one hand openers are legislated against anyway

[ryan1835]

the fact its one handed dosent appeal too much it just adds to the cool factor 

what about age or is that just to buy?

[Gareth]

It kinda breaks down like this;

if you have no specific reason that you need to carry a locking or fixed blade, then you can only carry a sub 3" slippy.  "Just in case" is not a specific reason.

if you feel your work can justify the use of a knife then you can use pretty much whatever you want, but IMO if you're silly about it you'll still end up explaining yourself to a judge.  So (IMO) no 12" tanto just because you are a carpet fitter.  

You can also transport the knife to and from work but stopping on the way is a no-no.  So leaving work, having a pint, seeing a film and then going home is out.

So a lot of it depends on what you do for a living; maintenance guy? Go for it.  Office tea boy? Not so much.

BTW I believe that if you are having to "think" about a reason why you'll get away with it, then there is a good chance you'll have a hard time persuading the authorities that it really is a good reason at all.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Great summation Gareth 

[John]

All what Gareth said     I would just add this I would not recommend carrying this to work and then having to explain it's for opening boxes  





For that I would carry this   as it would be easier to explain and chances are you would be believed,it's really common sense  

[ryan1835]

im a maintenance guy so yeah i guess i should be okay

it s just better to double check

Pretty much the same as we have here, except we are not allowed to carry anything with locks and Oho...
Ohh, and the blade must not be one millimeter over 7 cm...  
We are waiting for the danish Supreme court to rule in a case where some poor guy is sentenced 7 days in jail for carrying a multitool where the blade was 7,3 cm...  

[John]

Maybe if manufacturers incorporated the anti stab blade into multi tools we maybe able to carry them, at least you could slice sausage with them

[John]

Also anyone have an idea how this would stand   I think I already know the answer,if the blade locks it's a no go true but it's food for thought  

I don't carry a blade in my artifact but the anti stab blade gave me an idea
before and after reshaping the blade  

[Neil]

Yes you do already know the answer

It locks, profile of the blade is not taken into account.

Yeah I'm just playing with idea's alas as I have nothing better to do

Those turn out to have a variety of uses.  ;>

Recently saw a guy interviewed on local television news that was the victim of attempted strongarm robbery.

He sent both of his attackers to the hospital using one of those, where they were promptly arrested and charged.  ;>

I not suggesting anyone throws out their kitchen knives  on the contrary I'd encourage people to buy more sharp pointy ones

I do hope the design becomes more universal for kitchen knives, but I also hope no one's depending on it to reduce crime...

[AddictedToTools]

I know I've already asked this, but does anyone have any more ideas about how the law would view the 888 Professional knives. Sorry in advance for asking the same question again!
