Vespa bro, it's listed as prohibited.
I asked Black Tactical before it he could help me import Kershaw.
They say no to assisted opening leh.
The SPF definition for flick knives is quite vague to me as a non law trained guy. It seems to refer to Auto knives, which local retailers concur and thus sell manual, assisted knives. I reckon it can be argued that flick definition includes assisted.
It is all rather vague. From the actual wording to the pictures they show in various checkpoints or on the SPF website. The "prohibited" folding knife shown is very often a manual flipper. Not even assisted. I was under the impression too that assisted was in the category of automatic under their ambiguous classification. However it seems that is not the case and hence we also see many shops/ merchant selling these. By definition anything that rotates upon a pivot can be errm "flicked". Finger flick via flipper, stud or hole or with the wrist alone on weaker detent ones... it's all a flick.
My greatest fear is if too many people start asking and pressing them for a definitive answer-- typical of how authorities/ governing body works is, they will say "Let's apply a "Ban Them All Across the Board"".
they will say "Let's apply a "Ban Them All Across the Board"".
This will be disastrous. I am contented with manual opening knives and always use them with "lawful purpose".
Anyone enjoy camping/hiking? What knives do you use? Enough folders for me at the moment, I'm looking to get a puukko (e.g. Helle, Mora, Martinni) and/or sketetonized knife (e.g. Eskabar, Izula, Bark).
A Kukhri, parang will be nice to have but I doubt they'll see much action. Trying to keep all the knives as users.
I do rotate a few folders but really have to admit they are over-glorified letter openers 99% of the time On most days a little gentleman folder and a 4-5" fix blade keeps me happy. The latest "fix" err excuse the pun being the one I showed in the last foto post.. Asymetric S90V. Unless I have trail work to do.. still the preference is to carry a foldable machete. Don't wanna look like a mountain biking samurai flying down the trail
I rock a Coldsteel Rajah II, AUS8 blade...strictly utilitarian.. unlike some of my fancy letter openers
Anyone have triple laminated non-kitchen use, fixed blades in Japanese tradition? My limited knowledge only include Murray Carter's knives.
Looking for 4" blade length, 3 3/4" handle, drop point and decent belly. Not sure if 150usd enough.
Have a good weekend. Cheers!
Nice shot of a working knife, Den. It's a unique design with the short khukuri-like blade and long handle.
The KH Gurkha Jungle, apparently SPGC's 2009 issue non-ceremonial khukuri has a bit of fanboy appeal for me
