I should clarify. I do carry and use most of my knives. But there is no way I "need" 19 (and counting) Spydercos. Lol!

Probably a Slym. It's a really nice knife but not the sort of thing I typically buy.

For $300 for a knife I probably wouldn't use much, it would either have to be the Vallotton or the Espada XL.

I live in the Uk and I'm not allowed by law to use or carry either of the knives I mentioned in public, because both of the knives I listed are over 3" and have locking blades. And unless I can show a good reason for having them in public - using the Pacific Salt while camping for example - otherwise I'd be arrested and charged with having an offensive weapon in public, which in the UK is often prison time.benben wrote: ↑Sun Aug 31, 2025 12:50 pmBoth knives the OP listed are excellent everyday users, why would you not use them?
That Pacific Salt is a $135 knife, if there was ever a knife to use and treat like a rented mule, it’s this one! Yeah I could probably think of a knife or two to put in the back of my safe, but it’s neither of these two…..
However I like the knives I mentioned, and want them in my collection.
It's not all bad news. If a knife is under 3" and none locking I can carry that all day long. And I have stacks of those.
Couple of UK legal favs ..

geez. I remember the thread about whether or not one might get arrested for carrying a UKPK. Meanwhile each morning I have to decide if I want to conceal carry .380 or 9mm 
Hopefully someday you get to try those models out.

If I want a knife I wont use, I really want an expensive safe queen, probably something like a Drunken and the Paysan.

Got ya, didn’t know, I’m sorry I made my post now. Man the things we (me) take for granted! I carry a large locking folder and a pistol everyday, it’s just my normal daily routine. I truly feel for you guys in the UK.SpydieCollector wrote: ↑Mon Sep 01, 2025 1:30 amI live in the Uk and I'm not allowed by law to use or carry either of the knives I mentioned in public, because both of the knives I listed are over 3" and have locking blades.

I plan on buying a CS black and orange lil Native that I don’t really need just because I want a cool Halloween knife.

It was a good post you made as it gave me an opportunity to add a little information to the forum about the laws in the UK regarding knives. Although I'm sure other Brits may have said similar things before I joined the site.
Oddly enough, in the UK we can own and use firearms upon gaining the correct certificates, despite the draconian restrictions on knife usage in public places.

I just bought a brushed aluminum Smock Sprint Cruwear…you know, just for the heck of it!
My just-for-the-heck-of-it wish list would consist of the Slym or the Cutlery Shoppe exclusive black & orange Milly.

I'm thinking about getting those models I mentioned ordered for my collection. At least they'll stay immaculate, unlike my UKPK which has been through blood (cut myself lol) sweat, and tears (I misplaced it
) No worries, found it again 
(and I do have a few of them )Re: For the heck of it.
