Clever uk laws ensure we lose our fingers . Why not make my garden fork a folding liability too ?
+Arthur twosheds It is not illegal to have a locking knife on you, or even a fixed blade knife, you just need to have a good reason. Would you take your garden fork into Tesco while you do the shopping? if you did, you would get the jail. If you are doing a spot of gardening, then it is fine, same goes for joiners having chisels etc. They have valid reasons.
Could be you've got a fixed bushcraft knife on you and you're going bush crafting.
If your knife closes on your fingers you're using it like an idiot

The Spiderco bug was £7... now (5 years after this video) it costs anywhere from £18-25.
Best, most chilled start to a video ever. Well played sir! I'd keep that shit up. Great vid & Spydercos are the best the uk can get.
Just as a point, i don't EDC any knife here in Scotland, but when i go camping here? I take a fixed blade Alan Wood borders bushcraft knife, with a ZT 0560 as backup. And i am comfortable that i have good legal reasons for having both.
Iam glad I live in the countryside as I love knives, oh and my billhook and chainsaw.
Nice, Spyderco and Boker got the choil right on these slip joint knives.
The Victorinox Pioneer is the civilian equivalent of the old Soldier. It's a Farmer minus the saw. But I like to have a saw and the extra layer is only about 2-3mm so I EDC a Farmer, together with a Classic SD for the scissors and tweezers.
I'd add the real steel Luna in d2 which has just replaced my squeak as my EDC
hey thanks for the vid. gave me an idea what I'm gonna carry on my trip to china.
cool, have a lovely time.
Interesting choices, but there are plenty more UK legal choices that aren’t Spydercos. Personally I’d take an Enzo or an ADV or a Taylor’s Eye Witness or a Wasp or.... over most Spydercos, but that’s just my opinion!
Manly is way better. Not a huge fan of my ukpk leaf
In Texas, I edc a WE 620. In New York, a Swiss Army knife. In London, acid in a spray bottle.
The Alox Harvester won out against the Farmer for me. The pruning blade is pretty useful for EDC
Just my opinion but the best keychain knife bar none is the victorinox classic sd which offers a standard knife screwdriver scissors tweezers and a toothpick. Also they're extremely affordable.
I like to have more tools and bigger blades, so I carry my Classic SD in conjunction with a Vic Farmer (thicker deeper blade than 91mm plastic models, plus saw and heavy duty awl) as well as a SOG microclip (for the pliers but it too has a nice 2in/5cm blade). But guess what...the Classic SD is the one I actually use the most. Both the scissors and the little blade, because in an everday urban environment that's all I need to open packages and so on. The other 2 are hardly ever used but I like to carry them to feel equipped for other situations or a survival scenario. So yes the Classic SD is the best.
I've heard good things about the Grizzly Bushcraft Pocket Buddy,
You guys seem to be knowlegable abouy knives, what are your opinions?
Nice knives
Who ever the last comment was by was wrong. 1. I am no salesman and 2. Locking knives are legal to own in the UK but not to carry in public.
hey man
i want to ask you if its also legal to import from the usa (spring assisted knife)
qaching No I don't think they are legal to own in this country. I would classify them as automatic knives. The below link outlines illegal knives for the UK:

Thanks for the link - isn't it crazy to think that I can carry with me, in public, a sixty year old, razor sharp traditionally crafted katana which can be between 23" and 35" long, but not my tiny little Ka-Bar Dozier Mini? UK knife law is utterly ridiculous - we must be the laughing stock of the civilised world.
paul greenwood You can't legally carry a katana in public without good reason, same as your Dozier mate, but I agree on the laws being ridiculous.
***** I'm almost certain spring assisted knives are legal to at least own in this country, check out the blades an bows website, they sell tons of knives with 'ballistic assisted opening'.
Hi I was thinking of getting a Kershaw zing and was wondering if I were to modify it in order to remove the liner lock would it be legal?
Thanks,
Gregor
police have no idea if the knife had a lock or not, so as far as you remove it completely, you are fine. althou romoving the lock will make the knife wiggle around and open or close by itself, knowing that the zing is spring assisted it will be a pain to have that thing without a lock. but that's just my opinion
What a great Video dude truly is I love my Spyderco Bug but also my Nano Blade by Bomber and Co, but one question I have just bought a KaBar Tanto and the Gerber Folding Tanto are these UK legal they say on the speel that they are on Amazonia
I believe that of the first five knives you show only the victorinox and the bug are actually uk legal due to a clause that states edc knives have require two hands to open. I'd love to be corrected on this.
Hi enjoy your reviews thank you. Are you on any Facebook pages?
Thank you for your support. I am on Facebook but it does not seem as popular as UA-cam. If you or any of my other viewers have any questions it is always better to post them on the video in question. Anyway here's my Facebook: facebook.com/pages/Sup3rsaiy3n/588377231193721
please can you recommend UK edc that have choils that hold the blade open from gripping for example byrd tern
Thank you for the suggestion. Will definitely be making a video on this.
Have a look at some of the sanrenmu knives on Gearbest, they mostly have flippers which double as choils, they are great knives and cheap.
@@balfemotor6067 brought them all lol
nice video
Great video, as you said the police and knives relationship is a different subject from this video, do think you could do a future video extending on that point?
What is your opinion on the LANSKY MADROCK? It's said to be 'world legal'...
that's because it is :)
The Spydereco Bug is now 16 quid! Dunno if it's worth it :/
would it be legal to carry the grasshopper in public and by public i mean in my pocket whilst in town or if i am in a forest which is crowded ( when im in the forest i would probably be messing around with wood and carving stuff :P )
also i don't quite understand what is a lock knife is it just a knife with a mechanism that locks it in place?
thanks a lot
also the same question about the uk pk
ok i found out but will i get fined or put in court if i keep one of these in my house?
Yes you would be fine carrying the grasshopper in a public place but like any bladed article probably best not to wave it about. Locking knife is a knife with a locking mechanism. None in the video have locks. You can buy any knife if you're over 18 in this country and you can buy any knives on Heinnie Haynes and keep them in your house and you will not go to court.
thanks
and like i said i wownt wave it around in a cops face :P
You forgot the enzo pk70, s30 swedish steel, carbon scales, great lock, legal under 3inch blade. 70 quid.
Didn't forget it Laurie it just wasn't around at the time of my video. It would be like saying I forgot the Spy-dk too. Also it's £84 and £90 for the scandi grind. I'll agree it is a nice knife though but I prefer my ukpk ti.
might get myself a spydy ukpk for a change of legal carry, good to have at least a few choices in dear old Britain. Glad I have permission to use woods and lands about Hampshire for country pursuits. gives me scope to use different non legal carry knives , all good fun.
i got a bug .... its like a scalpel :-D
Same here lol the box is like a wedding wring box
I live in london and many people still say they get nicked when carrying a knife under 3 inches
This is true unfortunately. In high knife crime areas such as specific parts of London and Glasgow, to name only two I might add, the Police are more thorough. To put it politely.
Still good knives for the money,I love Swiss army knife.
Why not make screwdrivers , chisels and bradawls so they fold and cut your fingers off ? Stupid arse laws .
check out the vagnino zipslip :) ull thank me
What does EDC mean?
i love the reviews..do you have a instagram account? if not you should!!!
Thank you. I will definitely look into it.
can you do 5 best UK legal knives with a pocket clip
We're can I find the spiderco first nife
Where can I find the babe in your picture?
How o you spell spidico and are they on amazon?
It's spelt Spyderco and yes you can now buy them on Amazon.
***** thanks bro
I would like even the keychain 1inch blade I carry have a lock on it . Fact is they are safer to use . I carry locking and fixed blades on the farm and would like to be treated as the responsible adult I am at all times .
What does EDC stand for?
Every day carry
Manly wasp it is an excellent slip joint as well
It’s the law written by your MPs not the police who decide what you can and can’t carry. If you don’t like it lobby your local MP and ask for it to be changed. Or get one of those petitions with enough signatures to get the matter discussed in parliament.
You’re fine to carry all of those provided your intent of use doesn’t mean it’s an offensive weapon. Also be aware of where you may be going with it as most bars and large event venues won’t allow them on their premises.
I personally carry the Spyderco UKPK most days as I use it at work but don’t have to worry if I leave it in my pocket and go elsewhere. A great knife that’s easy to open with one hand and the finger Choil prevents any unwanted closing of the blade. Other times I have the Victorinox Cadet or Farmer both really useful tools.
Read section 139 of the criminal justice act adhere to it and you’ll be fine, even if the occasional police officer makes the mistake of measuring the length of the blade and not the cutting edge. Just politely tell him it’s the cutting edge that needs to be measured under section 139. If he refuses and arrests you, stay calm you are still ok, it’s a mistake that will more than likely get fixed at the police station. People make mistakes including the police.
its not said burker its Bow-Ker
THANK YOU I hate people saying knives are weppons If you think about it the household toaster could be used to harm or beat someone
Same here. A knife is a tool. We've had them longer than fire. Knives to kill people, people kill people.
Also most knife crime is committed with Poundland or Argos kitchen knives, I'd guess nobody was ever stabbed with a bushcraft knife like a Mora or whatever.
Simon H there easier to obtain a 12 year old can pick up a knife from his kitchen but everywhere Age checks you before buying a knife online or you need to collect it somewhere that will I’d you
@@pyrokiller4682 Didn't get the end of your comment but yeah, it's crazy, like I said I don't think much knife crime is committed using bushcraft knives lol.
Link to knives or atleast their names?
Jason Lloyd I introduce each knife in the video: Spyderco Bug, Spyderco Squeak, Böker Subcom 42 ti, VIctorinox Soldier 08, Spyderco UKPK. Hope that helps.
***** Thanks :) Just that I couldn't find the Boker.
Ⓐ "THERE IS NO AUTHORITY BUT YOURSELF" Ⓐ
just a question, are all these knifes legal to carry in public, as I do need a knife for work.
Yes they're all legal to carry in public and at work. Unless you're in a school of course. Anyway just behave responsibly as usual and you'll be fine.
+Sup3rSaiy3n sound mate, obviously gonna be sensible, just thought I need a knife for work why not get a good looking one as long as long as it's legal. Be nice to own an awesome knife but using it for work,
I'm an electrical engineer so lots of cables and stuff like that, thanks for the reply mate,
Last thing, which would be better? Spyderco ukpk: leaf shaped edge or drop point edge?
You're welcome. I can see the appeal of having a UK legal knife with good blade steel for your work. I'd pick the leaf shaped edge just because I think it's easier to sharpen.
If you need a knife for work, you can use a locking knife, because you have a reason to carry it.
Professor Weaboo your 15 no don't bother
You need to be at least 18 but it also depends on why you are carrying it
So if you want to be In prison I'd say wait until your a legal age
Just wanna say, and you might not agree with this but that first one looks more like a letter opener to be honest.
When you say "first one" are you referring to the tiny Spyderco Bug? I'd imagine letter openers to have long double edged blades.
Yes I am having a good day.. in my life... 😂
You can carry a folding non locking knife with a blade length 3 inches and under. No age limit. You cant carry in a public place a fixed blade or lockable knife.
What's classed as a public place ?
I would love to have a fantastic day in someone elses life.
Knifes are tools some spiderco knifes are actually made for stabbing what's the point
"Point" I see what you did there
+FurCobraLovesFish ayyyyy
FurCobraLovesFish I actually don't think he did anything there... the written English errors suggests that to me.
so you can carrys these in your pocket without any valid reason?
Random Facts yes. So long as they are under 3 inches and non-locking.
Sup3rSaiy3n wdym by non locking
@@kamz8280 To be legal to carry without reason it has to be sub 3 inch blade cutting edge and be non locking. By non locking you have to be able to fold the blade into the handle without having to release any lock or catch. Basically it must fold in your hands without restriction.
@@grahamb5930 Does a half stop count as 'restriction'?
@@FrankEdavidson I believe so, anything that cannot be fully folded without having to release any form of catch would be considered locking under our stupid laws.
in reading through the posts here i get the impression that these knifes have no locking mechanism? it further sounds as though this is done with the intent of it somehow prohibiting their use as weapons?
sounds similar to the logic used by idiots in America who continually attempt to label semi automatic rifles, assault weapons.
anyhow great vid, you sound very knowledgeable, thanks for sharing!
+Richard Williams Hi Richard. Thanks for your comment. You are correct these knives do not have locking mechanisms. There has always been non-locking knives available (texas toothpicks, slip joints etc) so I believe the main reason they are lockless is to conform to knife law instead of prohibiting their use as weapons. They can still be used as a weapon anymore than an umbrella or bic pen. It's different over here, many would look at any knife as a weapon regardless of its size or whether it locks and it is illegal to carry anything for self-defence. Sounds bad but if you are threatened then depending on the circumstance you can use reasonable force. Like America (35%) our obesity rate is almost reaching 1/3 too so the amount of reasonable force one can use before harming oneself is slowly diminishing. Unfortunately aforementioned people here do not have the luxury of defending themselves with a gun.
thanks for clarifying, really enjoy your channel, i'm sub'd.
+Richard Williams Non locking knives are not as effective as weapons as it's harder to stab someone as you risk the blade folding back on your own hand. I always thoguhg that was why non-lockers are legal and lockers need good reason.
if the police catch you with any of these, can they take them from you? i still think they'd detain me at least.
'catch you'. Well firstly they would need reasonable grounds to search you. They're not allowed to search you based on your age, race etc.
No. UK knife laws state that if the blade is under 3 inches, there is no locking mechanism and it isn't a flip knife it isn't considered offensive and you may carry it in public. Even if it were not to meet those criteria you may own it and carry it. But not in public spaces and with good reason: survival, profession etc. At home or on private land or in the wild it doesn't matter.
You made me look at a plank of wood for one minute and 37 seconds. What have you got to say for yourself young man?
I'm sorry you don't like wood as much as everyone else.
Cool video man .
What about not consenting to a search .
If you have done nothing wrong they cant just come over and stop and search you .
You can say you do not consent to the search but if they are arresting you for something else or you are in a stop and search area they can. No normally they cannot just come and stop or search you. They are not allowed to pre-judge. They have clever ways to get that outcome though such as stopping you for something else first.
Haha...Thank god, I don`t live in UK and can just carry whatever I want to carry not what I`m told I could)
But you have laws in your country too so you are 😂
@@Sup3rSaiy3n well, technicaly, if you are talking about laws in general - yes). But what about knifes - nah, actualy I can ;) Without going deep into Russian laws (`cause it may seem treaky and sometimes a little bit illogical): people can legally carry most knifes without any problems. Some blades (different daggers, bowies, swords e.t) require firearms permision - if you have it you are free to buy and carry them. Can even hang a sword on your belt and go like that - that would be weird as hell and cops will definetely ask you some questions - but it is still legal. There are some restrictions on OTF knifes and balisongs with blades larger than 90 mm - but nobody really cares until you swing `em right in front of the police XD
P.S. Please, don`t get me wrong - I`m not trying to offend anyone. It`s just wild for me that some goverment may have such prejudice about own citizens that it`s better not to give them simple knifes. For me it is nonsense.
Knives dont kill people, people do
I got arrested the other day for having fists, apparently they can be used offensively. they can be, but it doesn't mean they will be.
I know all you knife people think the UK knife laws are daft but another perspective is that in inner cities in the UK (especially London) some young people are habitually carrying knives around with them and using them on each other with very little provocation. E.g. I used to live in Homerton, part of Hackney, inner London. On the high street early one afternoon near my house one young man stabbed another young man in an argument over a debt of £5. The stabbed young man was taken by air ambulance to the Royal London Hospital but bled out on the way there. The perpetrator presumably was charged with murder. That's two young people's lives destroyed. Obviously this is totally fucked up. In the longer term guiding them to live more constructive/less delinquent lives would be great but in the short term maybe being really hard on knife possession is the only way forward.
The laws on knives in the UK are tight enough. Most of the stabbings are carried out using knives that are illegal to carry without good reason so simply tightening the rules will make no difference whatsoever. I do not expect to get harassed by the Police for doing something that is perfectly legal anymore than I would expect the Police to stop and warn me about speeding if I am below the speed limit. We have got to the stage where I have to use a knife that is less safe for me to use because of stupid laws so I don't need any more danger put in my path by the government. As you say they should live a more constructive life but, that does not mean that I should have to change my ways. Parents should get off their fat one's and ensue that their children are not carrying knives illegally. It is similar to the rubbish spouted about gun crime, it has increased since the all but ban (it's not a complete ban on handguns) on handguns, criminals have carried on using them and the vast majority of firearms offences are carried out with illegally held firearms so what good would changing the law do when the law is simply ignored by criminals? Catch the criminals and leave the law abiding people alone. Ask yourself, do you think that any government would ever put a temporary restriction on the carrying of knives then give us the right back afterwards? If you do you are deluded.
11:09 that's what she said
harry potter?
?
Try putting murders to death,put criminals in prison,let free men carry any knive you choose.In Indiana you can carry any knive you want other than a ballistic knive and throwing Star.
If you live in an area where you're likely to get stabbed, the police will take your only form of protection away from you. Fantastic.
I'm guessing you don't truly think it's quite as black and white as that and there are many many other factors that come into play.
***** Of course; nothing is ever black and white
You can not carry any lock knife public uk regardless of size,might as well carry a biiger one as the judge will see what your up to
except with authority or good reason but the officer might disagree with the reason which would make it for the courts to determine.
