Bahco BSK Better Sports Knife with 3-inch Blade, Aluminum

Product Information

If you appreciate the finessing of all the little details (and you have a good-size knife budget), we recommend the Benchmade Mini Griptilian 556.

With a small hole on the back end, the knives allow for a safety strap to be attached, for added safety. Tactical often implies a military aesthetic along with lots of ostentatious features and add-ons that announce themselves a mile away, much like wearing a combat helmet to a bluegrass concert. It is an offence for any person who without lawful authority or reasonable excuse has with them in any public place, any offensive weapon. The action is incredibly smooth and makes for easy one-handed operation with the flipper mechanism, and the liner lock is also one-hand operable, both must-haves for me in a knife I want to carry every day. If your knife has a wooden handle, it is recommended to oil the handle occasionally with a food grade oil.I’ve reviewed Leatherman’s excellent Free P4 in the past, and while it’s compact enough to pocket carry, its thickness makes it better worn on a belt in its pouch, so I hesitate to classify it as a pocket knife.

Under the Criminal Justice Act 1988, it is an offence for any person to sell to a person under 18 any knife, knife blade or razor blade.As Sculimbrene told us, there are some really good cheap knives, but we could determine which were which only after handling them. If the Drifter isn’t available or if you’re looking for a real workhorse of a knife, we also like the Blue Ridge Knives ESEE Zancudo. This isn’t a big, tough-guy knife—it’s small in the hand—so it’s easily concealed when you don’t want anyone with eyes to be able to tell you’re carrying a blade. As the handle wood is untreated, it will benefit from the occasional application of a food grade oil to maintain the health of the wood, avoiding shrinkage and keeping the handle looking like new.
