sorted byIf you honestly have to defend yourself against a mountain lion the first attempt should be waving your arms around and charging it while shouting or blowing an air horn, if that doesn't work use bear spray, and finally if that doesn't work you'd want a .357 calibre pistol. These items would also be useful against a bear which can often be found in the same places as mountain lions.
7CR steel must be kept away from any moisture/water. Wipe after use and store in a dry place.
Some people have these on their person when out drinking too presumably. This seems a great idea.
This comment section is scarily reminiscent of yanks defending their guns. Weapon is a weapon. Held under the guise of protection.
Given the message is for our young people to stop carrying knives, I'll move on and stop being tempted.
I don't really fancy trying to justify to one of my nephews why it's fine for me but not a good idea for them, whether it's legal or not.
The laws do a pretty good job at balancing the usefulness of an EDC and the protection of society. (edited)
Also, beware of your surroundings and take safer routes if possible, I appreciate the latter won't be an option for everyone.
of course I would never carry one in this country, because knives without a lock are absurdly unsafe and it seems very likely I would break my "no stabbing" record after sticking myself by accident. gotta be safe after all.
It depends on what you're using it for. The whole purpose of the UK knife laws are to stop you carrying an item that is capable of stabbing and that's too small for slashing.
A small non-locking knife is perfectly safe for gardening, whittling, box opening or field prep of rabbits, squirrels and other small game.
I'm concerned because there are many recent Swiss Army Knife deals that have positive response but this one seems to have raised legal questions.
That being said, a traditional swiss army knife would probably raise less eyebrows with the general public who as this deal has shown are often very afraid of even the idea of someone having a knife.
Gerber's are good blades for the money, I would recommend them for affordable but decent knives. My daughter's a Spyderco fangirl, would also recommend those, though obviously they're a little more money.
For those worried in here, no one looking to hurt people are buying knives like these. Stop panicking. We are a horsey family, so naturally we need good knives, but the people buying knives like these are campers, fishermen, people in a trade, equine hobbyists, outdoors people, etc. These are not the sort of knife someone looking to do violence would choose.

I often carry a knife that I use to open products - sometimes I can't get in a bag of sweets, but also useful for parcels. Whilst I could probably manage this with a small blade, I sometimes struggle to open said blade too! (edited)
