A lot would depend on your tool requirements. Leatherman makes an excellent product, IMHO and these are very handy. The plain old Victorinox Swiss Army Knife can't be overlooked either. EDIT: This one if you're feeling flush... 1 hour ago, jsb said: Also recommendations for a fixed blade Mora. Hold a decent edge and cheap enough that you won't cry when you lose it.

Meece 1,957 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 It all depends what you intend to use the knife for. I've got all sorts. The sharpest knife that I have ever come across is a Helle, like this, https://goo.gl/images/c2gzXS I've had Swiss army, Leatherman wave, ect all sorts. Don't forget it is illegal to have a blade of more than 3"or more than that Including the handle if it is a lock knife in a public place without good reason. I remember some old boy got pulled up for a blown rearlight and plod immediately searched his glovebox and found a knife that the old boy used as a picknick knife when he went out with his wife. He was arrested and done for having an offensive weapon in a public place. I now carry either a simple cheapo budget plastic handle jobby or a stainless British Army knife like this, 》》》 https://www.outdoorgb.com/p/whitby_genuine_british_army_knife_pk128/ Surprisingly the budget cheapo Chinese knife has a very good stainless blade which holds a sharp edge.

neil r 1,842 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I use these most of the time now . The little dime is an edc but because the suspension has a locking blade I only use it while I’m out with the dogs or fishing . They are not bad , maybe not quite leatherman quality but good enough for what I want and they are not that expensive . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltjnr 6,551 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I like the leatherman warranty ,when ever ive broken one of mine just return it to the Whitby knife co ,and get a replacement within days! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The majority of these knives are outside of the legal boundary uncles you have good reason. I stopped caŕying my wave because it was a locker. The local gun shop told me about one of their customers who was just having a quiet drink in a local pub when a fight broke out. Ha was nothing to do with it and by the time plod turned up those involved had left but plod searched everyone in the bar and found a small cartridge style locking knife on his bloke and did him for carrying in a public place. They then revoked his shotgun cert because of it. bstds. Be careful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
