    The confusion with UK knife laws is that knives aren't illegal like most people think... what makes a knife illegal is it's intended use, which is why it's legal to carry kitchen knives home from a store. It's all about common sense in how it's stored and used. For example... if you have a 6" knife in your pocket when walking around for self defence then it's illegal because the intended use for that knife is a weapon but if you carry an 8" bushcraft knife in a backpack to use in a campsite then that's perfectly legal because a knife is simply a tool nothing more. The law is you cannot carry more than a 3" blade on your person when in a public area unless you have a good enough reason for doing so, which basically means you can carry a knife over 3" if you have a good reason to. so it's just common sense

      This is a very smart comment and this is something I have though of too but then it's down to the cop that stops you to determine whether your reason is good or not regardless of you seeing it as good.
      What is a good reason?
      - It's for work.
      - It's a tool and I want to carry it.
      - I'm a knife reviewer to I need to use them to be able to review them (again for work)
      It's all stupid.

      That's a solid carry! I've been looking into Acebeam flashlights recently so I'll have to try one out soon.
      With the TJB ellis, I actually think that it works better as a left hand carry if that's what you wanted from the reversible clip. The way it is on the knife and how it comes out of the pocket for 2 hand opening I genuinely find better in the left pocket.

      I’ve always wondered this. People always argue about the “safety” but then never demonstrate how a non-locking knife can fold back. I’ve actually tried to fold my Victorinox knives back on myself and I can’t see how it’d happen.

      I guess it depends on the angle you're working with. A very long time ago, like 25 years, I was trying to remove the rubber coating on a panel that was underneath a counter, because behind it was wiring that I needed to get access too. I was using a folding knife that was my EDC at the time. I caught it at the wrong angle and it folded into my thumb slicing straight into the top of my thumb and about 1/3 of the way through my thumbnail. It was a shock, but it didn't hurt that much, I just wrapped it in toilet roll and carried on but after that I switched to a locking knife for my EDC, until they were banned. I carry a locking Stanley knife on me now because it's more useful for what I do and the cops won't give me too much trouble about it if they stopped me. We just got a new Labour government though and I've heard that they're coming after anything sharp, so my EDC is probably going to be relegated to a spoon in the near future!

      @@TedHowells What the UK governments never seem to appreciate is that every time they ban something they create a brand new criminal enterprise, it only serves to impair law abiding people and actually funds crime. If this new government goes ahead and makes fixed blade knives, swords and machetes completely illegal to buy or sell there 's nothing stopping anyone from popping to Homebase, picking up a strip of high carbon steel, cutting it into 5 pieces, shaping, sharpening and heat treating them, popping some rubber tape on them for a handle, you now have 5 knives you can sell to criminals that are more or less untraceable because literally anyone with a hacksaw. a grinder, half a clue and some propane can make them, someone with more tools than that can make them to a really high standard. The notion that the law can be used to impede criminals; a branch of society who make a life and career out of breaking the law is beyond stupid! But, we know they will do it anyway, because that's what they've always done 🤷‍♂.

  • @Ramesiel
    @Ramesiel 5 месяцев назад +4

    I disagree with you about slip joints. I actually find slip joints to be more dangerous. The reason being, when they do move, they move on their own - they fire out suddenly with a spring force, as if with a mind of their own. I've had accidents due to this. I find double-detents and friction-folders much safer because they move only under my own control.
    I've been going through a similar journey, obsessed with trying to find the perfect UK-legal EDC. For me, it needs to have either a thumb hole or flipper tab for proper one-handed opening - nail nicks and thumb studs are both awful. Double detent is preferred. MUST have some way to let me resist closure of the blade: 1. a front finger choil (with smoothed, not sharp corner), 2. a flipper tab, that acts as a finger guard, or 3. an extended tang that I can hold with my thumb/palm. I prefer the front finger choil out of these three options, as that also lets me close the knife easily, by pressing on the back of the blade with my thumb while holding it on the other side with my index finger.

    • @Ramesiel
      @Ramesiel 5 месяцев назад

      I also find half-stops like shown here with the James Brand knife to be a bit useless... At that position, they could already cause injury. If it's a slip joint knife, then I much prefer it to have a quarter-stop instead.

    • @MPD90

    Great video mate, keep them coming. Nice to get a UK perspective on EDC for a change. You mentioned the UKPK not tried that one and looks a bit big. Using either a Spyderco Urban or Squeak myself if you’ve not looked at those. Also another one I’m interested in checking out is the Spyderco Roadie it’s small but looks good and non threatening so would be interested in getting your view on one of those if you get your hands on one.

    • @TedHowells
      @TedHowells  4 месяца назад

      Appreciate that man! Thanks for the comment! Yeah the ukpk is the bigger of the uk legal Spyderco knives but I am a fan of big knives from living in the states and being unrestricted haha so being back here and having tight laws means you experiment with things you wouldn’t usually! I’ll definitely get my hands on those soon for a review!

    • @MPD90
      @MPD90 3 месяца назад

      Another shout along the lines of the UKPK / Urban / Squeak is the Spyderco Lil'native slip-it. Similar size to the Urban but it's a more premium build with a thicker more robust blade, and in my opinion better blade shape. The only downside really is the price as it's probably roughly double the cost of an Urban.

      An array of a half dozen Victorinox knives depending upon what and where I am doing (unfortunately the green Soldier model with the locking blade now stays at home); and two Leatherman multi tools - PS4 on my keyring and the Crunch too stays indoors because of it’s locking blade ( have thought of removing the blade but then would need to carry a separate blade which defeats the object). Others knives under consideration are the knifeless Rebar and the T4 (because I like it and it looks like the locking mechanism can be disabled - if not, it’ll be another stay at home knife). Always have one knife on me, often two, and can even have three at the same time.

  • @MPD90
    @MPD90 3 месяца назад

    For safety in a UK legal knife, what you want is a good finger choil. It won't stop the blade folding, but it will stop the blade from folding enough to cut your finger. That's far more important in my opinion that the mechanism, a good choil negates the risk of self-injury. Spyderco do them particularly well I think. The Hoo knife you briefly showed doesn't have one, but the v3/v4 Hoo does have a finger choil and is much safer IMO (also entirely legal and anyone who calls a Hoo knife an 'automatic' is badly misinformed).

    Kizer Vagnino is a slip joint that has the strongest backspring I’ve found. I think it would actually be difficult for it to close on me.
    Real Steel Luna, perfect little knife. Again, can’t see it ever closing on me-I’ve abused it too.

    Bro, you've gone from the Civivi Foldis detent knife (£80) to the even more expensive James BLAND slipjoint (£93) , when you can get the far superior and safer Spyderco UKPK, Urban, or Squeak for the same money. If you really want to splash out on an exceptional knife the Spyderco Lil"Native is great. A review is one thing, but your choice of personal carry knives sucks. Even the tiny Twisted Assited Tulip (£60) is far safer in the hand as it can't close on you. I have all five of those knives but my most regular EDC is the £35 Black Fox Bean Gen 2, which despite being a detent knife still can't close on you if you know how to use it. It's small, simple, strong, safe, discreet, and £35! Not super slicey, but stout and reliable.

      This is a super helpful comment!! I'm only really getting to grips with uk legal stuff properly still as the majority of my collection are locking. I took a look at a few of them and ordered the Black Fox so I'm stoked to try that out.

    Please note: whilst a blade under a certain length is technically legal this is entirely dependant on the police and prosecution service believing you are carrying it for a justifiable purpose. It is illegal to carry ANY object which can realistically cause harm regardless of blade length if the police believe it’s with the intention of causing harm or damage, the onus is on you to convince them otherwise. I’m not a lawyer but am aware people have been prosecuted for having hammers, hair clips (!), and a wrench. Blade length is NOT a guarantor of legality in the UK, that’s not how our laws are written or interpreted.

      Please actually learn the law before instructing others on it... The exemption for non-locking, sub-3-inch knifes in the UK specifically says you DO NOT need ANY reason to carry it. No justification is required. Now of course if you use it for the wrong purpose or state your intent to use it for the wrong purpose, then you're going to be in trouble, but you don't need to justify carrying one of those knives at all. The 'good reason' element is for blades falling outside of the exemption (i.e. locking, fixed or >3 inches).

      @@TedHowells no, not at all, im simply saying that UK common law has the principle of reasonable enquiry and you can, and frequently have, been arrested for carrying items including small blades and metal hair combs. There is no overriding protection of the blade is small, it depends on if the police officer feels it’s intended use seems reasonable. This would likely only come up if they were already searching you, in a secure area where get scanned/checked, or you were brandishing it about.
