Can anyone tell me what brand names to look for to get a good quality pocket knife for mrnotts birthday. He doesn't want any gadgets , just a blade for practical jobs around the home and garden. NOTE - this is in no way linked to our sexual activities !!!
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. Anyone forthcoming with a lot of info, I do appreciate your help but I will be blocking you for your over enthusiastic knife knowledge   |

The knife has to be appropriate to the task in order to be good, Victorinox (Swiss army knife fame) are good and have a good range of pocket knives (google them). Be aware that many are now illegal in the UK, and even more so don't do what I did and turn up at an airport with a top quality and very useful knife forgotten in my pocket  never managed to get one as good since they took that one away. |

for a general purpose pocket 'tool' then leatherman as said is a good bit of kit..
for a gardening knife something specific from a good garden supplies outlet..
find the blade on my leatherman is not that good for gardening.. |

"He just wants a single blade knife - no gadgets  "
good plan, I only carry a single blade knife, it's hard to cut something while half a dozen screwdrivers and tools to get old ladies out of horses hoofs are digging into your hand!
But I have several bottle openers and cork screws scattered about in easy reach, so the important things in life are not subject to undue delay |

Depending on what he wants it for and where he will be using it, if its a single blade knife he wants you cant really go wrong with a Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife. It will do everything he will want including opening cans. |

It's also a good way of getting yourself jailed. |

Current law is unless you have a proven good reason for carrying it, it has to be:-
A maximum of 3 inches and floppy (no lock)
Never thought you would see that on this site did you |
