Why? I'm starting to worry about the people who post in this thread.

A pocket knife in England is not acceptable. I'm not saying it doesn't go on, of course it does, but you seem to think it is no problem if your stopped and searched.

Well, doesn't England also have a lot of knife gangs and whatnot?

I live in Texas so a pocket knife is at the bottom of the considered a weapon list.

oh ok, well a lot of people live in America. We have guns and knives and a lot of other stuff.

I had no idea a piece of cutlery could be so polarizing, Jesus Christ, sorry I ever posted it.

To get back on topic, I love how the Seiko Ananta line takes its styling from samurai swords, from the hands to the case shape to the polishing.

Because it's useful. I use a knife literally every day for all sorts of stuff (most of which has already been covered). Is it "necessary"? No. But it's super convenient to have it on hand and ready at a moment's notice.

FWIW, the blades I usually carry would not be very useful for attacking anyone. The leatherman in particular would make a horrible weapon for a number of different reasons.

Well, it IS "no problem" if I'm stopped and searched. They're perfectly legal in the US and while not everyone carries one it's not controversial at all.

I have an Microtech ultratech. awesome knife. I think mine was around 300$. Where did you get yours at? You can pm if you don't want to post it here, as though knives are illegal in 50 states. I bought mine from at a knife forum from a police offier LOL

Obv we need a knife thread.

I have a feeling you guys are making fun of us English chaps, blokes and geezers.

Anyway, I am going to pull the trigger on the Sarb 065 next month and just keep the leather strap.

LDO

OTF switchblades are not illegal in 50 states, it's more like 20-25, with some states being vague about it.


And yeah, I carry it all the time and I'm sure if a cop pulled me over he'd ask about it if he saw it, but that's about it. They're as legal as sunglasses.

Found a really good deal on new Orange Monsters here. I much prefer the rubber strap but would I be forfeiting alot of future trade value instead of getting the links?

Would be happy enough to buy an aftermarket rubur strap if the bracelet was more in demand.

I would get the bracelet and get an aftermarket rubber strap or nato or whatever.

part of the value of the OM is that its bracelet is very good for what you pay for the watch (solid including endlinks, diver extension).

I figured that myself, thanks very much. Only around $12 more for the bracelet so I'd have been daft not to get it.

Limited Defensive Operations?

OM ordered Will throw up a few pics when it arrives.

poast moar so I can PM you.

I'm starting to worry about the people (most of the population?) who think carrying a knife (or anything tbh) is a big no-no. I like England because of poker regulations, though

Last post on the subject as not to ruin the thread.

Basically due to our super tight gun laws almost noone owns personal firearms. Our firearm homicide rate per 100k population is 0.12 compared with USA's 2.97.

Therefore petty thugs/muggers cant get access to firearms and the most lethal readily available weapon is a knife. We have a problem with groups of young people thinking its 'cool' or acceptable to carry a knife around with them 'for protection'. These knifes are obviously not being carried for work related activities or to perform tasks like pvn etc have outlined above and are only going to be used in a violent way, hence our super tough stance on them. If you are caught carrying a knife here you will go to jail for around 1 year in 90% of cases.

Now the reason you find this strange is that the same type of kids that carry knifes in the UK can find easy access to guns in the USA. If people are looking for the best weapon to carry that can strike fear into people and do maximum damage if it comes to it then obviously they will choose a gun over a knife. It seems obvious that therefore knifes are not seen as a huge problem over there when you have kids in gangs carrying guns.

Rambled a bit and not made much of a point but basically our differences in knife culture stems from the available access to more dangerous weapons.

I kind of summarized that for you a bit up. Wonder if we'll have an EDF gun thread.

Hasn't got any play in a while but do have one.

The pvd one with spring drive is the one to get though, has much better subdial placement too.

Thanks guys, this thread is now blocked by the websense in work for Category:Weapons

Looking for a cool yellow gold watch.

I like the one Dario Minieri is wearing in PAD season 6.
But I don't know the brand.


Pictures much appreciated!

PM a mod and have them delete the weapons posts.

Rolex Daytona Steel, what do you guys think about it? Have mine now quite some time and really like it.
