Which unless i'm missing something is completely UK legal to possess and indeed carry in a public place with a valid reason which "its a work tool" (i'm a carpenter they get abused daily!) certainly is. Can't see how border control deem it a flick knife.
We never got to see anything till the interview - I assumed that something completely different to what had been ordered had been posted, even then it was just a photo like the one above, no detail of how they were classing it as a flick knife.
Would this happen to be a spyderco type with a thumbhole or with another type of one hand opening helper on the blade?preparedsurrey wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 10:26 pm no detail of how they were classing it as a flick knife.

If you are stopped in the street going to/from work and have the knife, then I would say you have a good reason to have it. If it's found on you when you are five pints to the better in a queue for a nightclub or football ground you'd have a much harder time ("I forgot it was in my pocket" doesn't carry a lot of weight).shocker wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 3:05 am I have hand dexterity problems and small folders are tricky for me to open, plus the blades can close on my fingers if not locked. Cos I is clumsy, innit
I don't know if my reason for having would wash nowadays as I am semi retired due to disabilities I still do bits around the farm, laying hedges and fruit tree grafting for example, where a sturdy sharp knife of a decent size is truly necessary.
