Best UK legal EDC Ever? The Twisted Assisted Junzi!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- The Junzi is a sub 3" non locking slipjoint knife which makes it ideal for EDC in the UK and many other countries with strict knife laws. It is a collaboration between Bestech and UK based company Twisted Assisted. The knife is customizeable, ergonomic and can be opened and closed easy with one hand. The review takes a look at fit, finish, materials, dimensions and weight. This has quickly become my go-to option for UK EDC.

You've got a good taste for nice folding knives!
Superb knife. Picked one up from twisted assisted a few days ago in black micarta. So many one handed uk legal openers miss the mark for me but this one is such a gem. Doesn’t feel like it’s squeezed within the absurd restrictions that we’re under (don’t get me started 😅). Looks good, feels good, smooth action. Blows the Ukpk out of the water imo. And £60-£70 is a great value too! 👍
Just ordered the Junzi in Orange looks a quality knife
you should perhaps look at the Civivi Foldis. It is a front flipper slip joint. Also you need to be more careful although the act says sharpened length it is the length from handle scales to tip of the blade this has been the case since 2005 when Case law added this amendment.
I’m starting to stockpile’not a collector lol’ some manual flippers and other single handed openers as i could see the law changing at some point to ‘clarify’ the current vague wording concerning blade deployment methods. I can see them banning any knife that can be opened one handed keeping the knife body in one position in the hand. Wish i’d of collected more assisted openers when i had a chance.
Been sitting on the UK PK for a while now and have wanted to change it up for far too long, thanks for this review,I have since purchased the junzi with treated micarta handles and titanium pivot, plus I got the bundle which has the EDC torch aswell. I will let you know when it arrives. Thanks again for the review. 👍
Thanks for watching it! Look forward to hearing what you think!
What's your thoughts in retrospect Toby? UKPK or Junzi? Thanks
Good review buddy, your nearly at 💯 a definite milestone, for sure!
Thanks for sharing,
Atb Gus 👍
Thanks Gus. I have made the leap from website/written word/stills so I have a long hard slog in front of me!

Hi , I've been looking at the
Hoo knives v3...
Instantaneous one handed flipper opening .
Expensive tho...
But , on this video you never measured the twisted assisted knife blade from the handle end to the tip ... it looks to me like it's either exactly 3 inch or extremely close...
Could you clarify the actual blade length ?
( not the cutting edge length )
Cheers..
Thanks. I was looking to get a new UK legal knife. I was thinking of getting the Boker XS. I already have the UKPK and Luna. I have purchased this from Twisted Assisted after watching your video.
Great to hear! This is definitely a nicer knife than the Boker XS which is really stiff to open. The Junzi is a pleasure in comparison!!
@@thatgearguyboker xs back springs break
@@OldBadger1 Have you literally just come on every uk knife video to post your grievance about a broken back spring? Swear I've seen your comment on like 10 videos.
Sold, i'm getting one monday:) brass satin :)
You won't regret it!
That's the first time I've heard someone with an English accent pronounce 'solder' using the American pronunciation with the silent letter 'L'.
Looks ok but not going to change my Spyderco Urban anytime soon.
Based on the measurement you take at 11:47, it seems quite possible that if you had put the ruler to the scale as you had for the Boker that the Junzi would also be over 3-inches from the handle to the tip?
It isn't.
Great review cheers. Just ordered one for bushcraft. They should be pleased with you- bet they’ve had a few orders as a result!
Good to hear Marticon! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Well presented video. 👍
Thanks Marius, I really appreciate that!
I want one.
Nice looking knife, but the ukpk in S110v is better, (but more expensive,)..
I'd never carry that Boker, as well as looking very tactical, it's also illegal,,,
The "blade" itself can be over 3 inches, the legislation wording is very specific and it specifically says "the cutting edge of its blade" any blade with a 3 inch cutting edge will be slightly longer due to finger choil or ricasso which almost all folding knives have. You cannot be charged for a knife with dead on 3 inches of cutting edge as it says 3 inches or less not that it must be under 3 inches. It's not hard to memorise the section of the legislation or carry a small card with it printed and all police can electronically pull up the act to check so no solicitor needed in that regard, I've had this argument with police several times with random car searches and they always reluctantly walk away empty handed.
You can still be charged. If the Police do not understand the wording they will charge you anyway and leave it up to the court to decide.
@@thatgearguy never known that to happen yet and at that point I'll gladly go to court and privately prosecute them for false imprisonment and theft for taking the knife unlawfully. The wording really isn't that hard to understand so if the sergeant of the station can't even get to clear it up before charges are pressed for it then something's seriously wrong and needs to be addressed.
Of course it will all work out fine. I just dont have the hours to spare these days. If I go to a town (which is rare) I will carry something which raises the least possible concern. The Junzi fits the bill nicely.
@MDM unfortunately it has happened look into uk case law, stupid as it is, its now the entire length of the blade that gets measured. You could try and fight it but that will leave you out of pocket and probably with a conviction.
Ishtarahara what's the case law please Rv??
Is it expensive yeah
No
Got one in titanium with no clip.
Nice!!!
The knife laws in Britain are just ridiculous stop the criminals not the innocent working man that needs a knife that doesn't shut on you're fingers.
The working man can still have just that. I carry a locking blade and fixed blade for work always.
