Thanx for the vid fella. I have the Junzi with 14C28N blade steel and green G-10 and love it. It's awesome that a UK company is thriving. Have you considered the QSP Hedgehog? It's a great knife,again in 14C28N but deep hollow grind and SUPER slicy. Unfortunately you won't be able to whack a thumb stud on it as the pull and detent are way too srtong. Having said that it's fast become a "must have" for me. Thanx again fella. Keep em coming.
I've been carrying knives for 55+ years, most of which I've lost or broken, and nearly all were slip joint knives. Last year I broke the tip of my father-in-law's big Old Timer knife and made the decision to carry a small, fixed blade knife. I know the U.K. has a ban on these but living in the country these fixed blades are fantastic for everything from box opening to foraging, and beyond. The only change I'm making now it to carry a dirt-cheap fixed blade when I leave home because the expensive one, I've been carrying, I don't want to lose or have confiscated off the property. I've also subscribed, liked, and hit the notifications to get more content.
I have some fixed blades too, one of which was my grandfather's that he carried with him during his time in the tank regiment. Thanks for the comment mate.
You're allowed to carry a fixed knife if you have a valid - but specific - reason. It can't just be for general utility, as that's what the exemptions surrounding small-blade slip-joints are for. I'd be careful because you'd have to be quite privileged to only have a fixed blade conviscated from you if you were caught carrying one and deemed to not have a valid reason for doing so. Especially with how the law is cracking down on knife crime. You can be put into jail for up to 4 years simply for carrying a fixed blade unlawfully - regardless of whether you intended to use it as a weapon or not. Although, I do admit that the risk of being stopped and searched for such an item is incredibly rare for an older white man lol.
There is supposedly an upgraded 14c28n variant of the junzi set to be released early next year. Are you likely to do a review on it when it drops? Can't get hold of the Junzi D2 as it is sold out unfortunately
hi, im looking for something to keep in my car for emergency purposes. not wanting to spend over £30. i know its a low budget but do you have any recommendations? also under 3 inches 👍
Hey there, knife choice is so personal its hard to say. Both of these are amazing, or just jump onto your favourite suppliers site and select "Uk legal" and see what lights your fire
Crkt pilar or Lansky madrock both tough little knives. Real steel luna is popular but blade is pretty thin i broke the tip off of mine. Heinnie haynes do their own versions of some uklegals that are good value.
@@Dan-wo4bx I appreciate you listing all those penknives. If it's for emergencies, it probably doesn't matter too much if one breaks the tip off or wrecks the blade. The tip will still be pointy enough to bust a car window, and the edge sharp enough to cut a seatbelt.
Well presented and informative video but you got the closed length and overall length mixed up ... I have recently purchased a junzi two tone from twisted assisted limited and can honestly say the quality is excellent. Keep up the good work Regards
@@Dan-wo4bx Yes, it's ridiculous if you're obviously doing your best to comply with the law, to then have a copper eyeball it, go against the spirit of the law, or persecute you because they don't like the look of you. A brigand would just stick with a five quid kitchen knife they can chuck away!
If the police measure this they will say it is over 3 inches cos they never just measure the cutting edge and i seen that they removed that from the government site
No it still states cutting edge but personally i stick to a blade length of under 3” when I’m carrying anywhere ‘urban’ . Arguing the fine points of the law with some cops may not go well.
@@zakiiibesti There was a case that went through the courts, and it's been clarified that the legislation means from the end of the handle to the tip (rather than just the length of the sharpened edge).

Upgrade sounds good, great knife.
@@theabcofedc3565 Does that mean you're likely to do a review/Showcase of it? 😁
Yeah i just pre ordered another junzi from twisted personally it’s the only knife I’d consider from them.
Great video. Where can I get the trad slip joint for that money? They are 39,99 on twisted website.
You have to keep an eye out for when they sell some with defects.

What is with the hats inside in every vid....
Hey there. What do you mean? Like why am I wearing a hat?
And the other English gear guy. Just put the heating on @@theabcofedc3565
A cold head? 🤷
@@Naptosis Just put the heating on
Great review mate, just be careful with your personal details on your parcels.
Thanks mate, good save on the address. (though I only show the addresses of my mortal enemies!)
You can carry belt knives and lock knives you just need a valid reason.
If the blade length is 69mm there is no way that 1st knife is legal (blade length less than 76.2mm)
I'd have to have a remeasure, but they are both marketed and sold as UK legal.
Law states cutting edge but if the blade is over 3” you may find yourself arguing the fine points of the law with a cop… worth the risk ?
Junzi is a winner the total blade is inder 3” and ticks all the boxes

The Junzi is only 71.7mm tip to handle, and the law allows up to 76.2mm (3").
@@Naptosisexactly right, the entire blade is less than 3, cutting edge notwithstanding 🙄
Can’t carry sh## here in Australia
Really? Doesn't match the Aussie stereotype huh?
I guess that doesn´t mean that you are required, by law, to poop before leaving home! 🤣😂
…..that ain’t a knife……sorry had to
