Gentleman's knife

As with blade steels, there are a wealth of options when it comes to handling materials. Spyderco, for instance, utilizes fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) for most of its lightweight models.

These are probably not the “best” knives with a 3″ blade. Not only is this highly subjective, but the best knives are often not feasible to carry on a daily basis. See section 142 Criminal Justice Act 1988. Responsible Retailer Agreements / HO voluntary agreement

These may have a bit less of a warm feeling in the hand and may impair your grip when slippery. But their durability and rigidity are not to be overlooked. It holds an edge reasonably well but is very corrosion-resistant. It’s also easy to sharpen. So, for a knife that will likely open a lot of letters and boxes but probably not do much bushcrafting, it has a reasonable price while offering plenty of performance. The NPCC and CPS have produced guidance on charging children and young people. This can be found here. This guidance explains the approach that should be taken in respect of 16 and 17 year olds as well as children under 16 years old. Instead, I chose really nice knives that function well, look nice, and are affordable enough that you won’t cry when you scratch or (heaven forbid) lose it. The Ramadi is part of CRKT’s Forged By War series of knives which were all designed by veterans with combat experience. A portion of the proceeds from this series of knives are donated to the veteran’s charity of the designer’s choice.

The document will be updated periodically to reflect changes in legislation as well as changes in any guidance or policy introduced by the Police or CPS. Also known as ‘switchblades’ or ‘automatic knives’. Folding knives where the blade opens automatically, by gravity or by pressing a button or something else on the knife. The handle is a high-grade aluminum alloy with a standard TPR finish. There is a belt clip for ease of carrying as well as glass break for safety. The Guardian 3 sheath pictured above is really easy to change between cross-draw carry or scout carry. The knife can just be flipped around in its sheath and you are good to go. You can’t wear the sheath in the vertical carry position since the belt loop is a stitched-in leather strap, but Bradford makes some great Kydex sheaths for this knife that are little more versatile. Possession of a multi-tool incorporating a prohibited blade or pointed article is capable of being an offence under this section even if there are other tools on the instrument, which may be of use to a person in a public place, for example a screwdriver or a can opener. It is for the person to prove on the balance of probabilities that they have a good reason for possession.

It’s always nice when knife companies listen to their customers, and that’s what it looks like Gerber was doing. Lots of us have been wanting a bushcraft style knife with a sheath system as versatile as the Gerber Ghostrike, and the Principle definitely delivered. A knife where the blade opens automatically or is released from the handle, either by gravity or by pressing a button or something else on the knife. For offences committed before 28 June 2022, the judge must impose the minimum sentence unless the court is of the opinion that there are “particular circumstances” which relate to the offence, the previous offence(s), or the offender which would make it unjust in all circumstances. What we love about this knife is its versatile and rugged Wharncliffe blade. It’s a lesser-used shape compared to the drop point, but one that can really work well. This 3-inch blade has a fantastic grind that narrows the tip substantially, resulting in a tool that can do darned near anything pretty well. There are two sheath options for the Rat 3. The cheaper option is the basic nylon sheath pictured below. The other option is a kydex sheath with the Tek Lok. Both options allow you to carry the Rat 3 horizontally or vertically.
