You'd be safe with that then. Still not going on the list though.
PST should be on there - it ain't a locker!So should be the PST II, Sideclip, Micra and Flair!

How about this? The Moki Thuja UK http://www.heinnie.com/hy3ie71011594/Knives/Moki/Moki-Thuja-UK/p-92-175-1541/I don't have one but it had a good reception over on BB. It is a shame it still looks like a locker but I suspect the reason they didn't re-model the scales was to keep tooling costs down.
How about the Spyderco T-Mag? It's just under 3 inches, and uses a magnet rather than a lock (I think). http://spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=244
Leatherman call it the Posi-Stop feature .They obviously can't call it a locking device because it isn't . I personally would EDC one myself as a non locker BUT technically the blade doesn't close all the way so it could be classed as a locking blade This discussion about the PST has been going on for years and just goes round and round .

DuncExactly, so innocent until proven guilty, it should be in! By the same definition, a SAK blade is locking, 'cos your finger would be in the way
Well, until someone comes up with something to conclusively prove that it's illegal, I'll consider it be legal, as is widely accepted!
What about plier based MTs? The LM Juice range are OK but what about others? I'm always slightly concerned about tools like the Mini or the PT-510 as whilst there is no lock on the blade once the blade is out and the tool closed back up the blade can't be folded back into the handle, how would this be viewed?

It has been held that going to a party where you may have to open bottles of beer is a good reason for possession of a locking bladed multi tool which also had a bottle opener attachment.
Case make some nice slip jointed folders http://www.wrcase.com/knives/They must have no locks and have a blade length under 3" to be legal EDC.

According to that discussion that Phil found, going to a party to open beer is a good reason! Sorted.
