arrested for a fishingknife
richo:
I carry a leatherman all day and i'm only a plaster.
I hardly use the blades but find the file handy for smoothing out nics i sometimes pick up on my trowel.
Thats another piont my trowel is 14" long and 5" wide and is razor sharp by the looks of things i better watch out

You should try going through Frankfurt Airport (that's the one that's REALLY fussy about security on UK/US flights, since Lockerbie) with 5lbs of asparagus tied up in your hand baggage. You can imagine what it looks like on the x-ray machines. Fortunately, even the Germans saw the funny side.
stretchy:
gota answer bail tomoro. il let you know witch way it goes. hope I get my knife back.
Rich_P:
Would someone explain what those who decided to ban locking blades saw as so dangerous in comparison to non-locking blades? Was it on the idea that if someone were to be attacked that they might just, out of absolute million to one chance, close the blade before they're stabbed or something stupid like that? :-.

Sorry Lord Shagg-Pyle you do seem a 'cut above the rest' but I have no faith in west midlands police.

I'm sorry but a crime is a crime. We complain that the police dont do enough in the communities, yet knife crime is one of the biggest problems! The laws were bought in about the knifes because of all the gang stuff and everything else that goes on. They are very widely known and as such should be obeyed.
No i am not perfect, in fact as a youth i spent most of my life on the wrong side of the law, but someone bleating cos they were caught breaking the law is pathetic. The law quite clearly states that carrying locking blades full stop is a definate no no and anything else over 3" without very good reason (generally classed as part of employment).
Ok, fair enough you may have forgotten to remove it, i can accept that, but for the rest of you stop having a go at the law about this.
