COMPO 54 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 What do you mean by twisting swivel mate Im Not good with these things my opinel has a sleeve thing at the point where the blade joins the handle, when the blade is out the sleeve can be twisted round and it prevents the blade folding in, thus it locks! Mackem, Pigs are great, well some are.....i eat lots of pork, bacon and gammon....in fact i am having pork and apple sausages for tea.............in toad in the hole..............dont let your paranoid fear from a few pigs put you off the entire race, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

artic 595 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 its not offence to carry a knife in your hunting bag, If you are going HUNTING! Period, you cannot carry a knife in your possession without a good reason. End of. The cuffs would be straight on my friend. Saturday night, you come out the pub, your wearing the same bottoms you had on when out hunting, the knife still in there. Your walking home at midnight, police turn up, explain to you that there have been car breaks in the area, so the grounds are set for a legal stop and search,officer find's the knife in your pocket! "ok sir i've been hunting earlier" The copper will laugh and nick you for (A) offensive weapon ( having a sharp pointed bladed article in your possession, © going equipped. Now i know you have been hunting, they dont. So down the nick, sober up,(depends on alcohol intake) get interviewed, then depending on previous convictions you will be charged, cautioned, or even let off! Is this worth the hassle? Get it in writting, make sure you leave the knife at home! Locked knifes or not, 3inc or not you will get nicked on the spot without very good proof! Maybe i was unlucky.
