In many places around the world including parts of Europe and cities like New York City, folding knives that lock open are not legal to carry. Knife carry laws vary by region, so make sure to consult your local laws for specific details. Some of the stricter laws prohibit carrying a knife that have long blades, locks open, or can be opened too easily with one hand. Unfortunately, most quality folders have exactly the opposite: longer blades, easy blade opening, and secure blade locks because they appeal to the majority of people. The Terminus fills the gap where most folding knives are prohibited. Check your local laws for details.
Street price is around $50 for the tan and $60 for the black. That's not cheap but it doesn't seem that bad. I have seen worse knives go for a lot more.Def

Heinnie in the UK have it listed, I have two reservations about it. It's expensive here (£66 & £79) and the blade length is 7.6mm, the max here is 7.62mm, that's a bit close to call considering it doesn't state whether that's the cutting edge length or the blade length.I'm going to avoid it for now

How does the blade stay open? There seems to be no back spring on it. Some kind of lock bar?

I like the look of the knife. Like the idea and market they are accommodating. Think they may have executed it well, but for the price I would like to see a higher end steel than BD1. I'm not saying it needs a "super steel", but I would like to see something better. If the knife was in the $30-$35 range then BD1 would be adequate in my opinion. I gravitate towards the Tan version as well. As long as the quality is there I would say they will do pretty good on this one.
Well, I like the way it looks. Def
I just ordered one of these from Heinnie Haynes as they are selling the tan one for £32. Thought it would be worth a punt at that price.
I don't know if anyone noticed this in the 2017 Calendar, but SOG has released a folder with legality in mind. Unlike the Lansky World Legal Folder the Terminus isn't trying to look super cool and tactical while still trying to be technically legal everywhere.(Image removed from quote.)According to SOG:(Image removed from quote.)The Terminus is available in a stainless satin blade with tan handle or black blade and black handle if you still want to be ninja-ish.(Image removed from quote.)I have to say that I really like the look of this knife- the tan one kind of speaks to me. The black one looks pretty cool too, but I think that if you are in a place where you need a legal slip joint it's probably better that it's not tactical black. Just my thoughts though, feel free to make up your own mind.(Image removed from quote.)I like the idea that manufacturers are starting to realise that there is a whole planet out there, full of people who want to carry knives but are limited by what may be available that suits their laws.(Image removed from quote.)Pardon the pun, but I think it is a pretty sharp looking knife, and a good size too. I hope the backspring isn't quite as overpowered as the silly one on the Lansky. This one looks light and easy to maintain and use too, thanks to its skeletonized design.(Image removed from quote.)Thoughts?Def
