I must aditni did look at all four of those but I was just thinking that that although I have never been stopped by police for anything other than ID when drinking in public I dont think they'd take kindly to me carrying a knife (evsmall or medium one) leven though its legal, guarantee I'd lose it and get taken to the station so I am looking at getting a Spyderco Bug for keys and EDC as it is in no way threatning and can't be offensive unless I start wavering it around it public.
(As even though I can carry a UKPk without reason so long as I dont cuase offense which means not using it in public aka descreatly out of sight, if I ever do get stopped (Nd I might as I am a teenager (nearly 19) it will be a trip down the station as that just how the police here are, even though I am really a very responsible person for my age)(not so muchrisk wwhen older)
So I guess I can carry a bug on the keys without worrying about being stopped.
But I do wsnt a larger one so might as well go whole hog and get a larger but still uk legal one, that I will only take out the house when I feel I have a reason to such as work ect (god being unemployed sucks) as at least then if I have it on me I have a good reason, but just won't carry it all the time only when I'm working if needed ect.
It sucks as although these knifes can technically be carried we can't use them in public or it chases offense can can be taken off you and you done for offensive weapons (qw can litaly only carry them in a pocket and even then risk getting arrested if found on us) unless we have a reason and only use it decretly.
I think the UK is over the top as most knife crime happens from irresponsible youghts of members of gangs with kitchen knifes and no laws will stop that!!! And it penalises those who truel would be responsible such as hobbyists, who would not use the knife even if they got into a a argument ect as they know the laws and concences.
So to summarise I feel its to risky (especialy at my age even though iv never had trouble with the police and am responsible) to carry any knife larger than a keyring one.
I will get a bug for the keys for EDC and a UKPK but only take it out the house when. Have a legitimate reason to be carrying it, woch really dose such give the points made above.
I even know a few of the local police as I have met them through collage course and even trained with them or know them personly....
But anyways thanks so much and I'm likely gonna go Bug and UKPk, I'd lover the borker Plus with he green handle and the squeak but feel I would not get away with it as a EDC!
I think America as a far better stance on knife law, although I dont agree that everyone should be allowed to carry guns as there far more lethal and not use full as a everyday item unless in the forces / police IMO. But that's an opions and I won't start an argument over it.
Sort about that RANT OVER!!!
