I recently saw a post where someone ordered 3 knifes to see which one they liked with the intention of sending the other two back, i disagree strongly with this. If you want a knife then read up, look at pictures, watch video's and make your purchase. If there isnt anything wrong with it then dont send it back.

No offence ment, i'm just mighty pissed off at spending over £100 on a knife that someone else has bought, cut open the little bag, done god knows what with and then send back because they wern't really sure if they wanted it in the first place. ]]> Production Knives - General Discussion... burntrice http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?110180-Return-Rant Legalise your Opinel http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?110158-Legalise-your-Opinel&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:42:02 GMT Stop me if this has been done before.........
Had a bright idea for de-commissioning the locking ring on an Opinel.
Now I know you can remove the ring, but they don't look right without it.
I also thought of drilling & pinning through the ring to stop it turning.
My final idea, which seems to have worked perfectly, was to carefully dribble some araldite down the holes in each side of the locking ring, once it sets, the ring won't turn, so it's not a lock knife any more.
The picture is an Opinel no.8, so I have also ground away about 1/4" of the upswept tip, to make it more of a spear point, also bringing the cutting edge under 3".
Also a bit of handle re-shaping & finished with wax shoe polish!
Now it doesn't lock, I also thought about grinding away the last 1/2" of cutting edge nearest the handle to make a choil, but this particular knife has a fairly stiff pivot, so I think I'll leave that for now.
A nice cheap non-threatening EDC.

UKPK drop point.





Spyderco/Klotzli Micheal Walker C22. Finally got one of these which is one of my grail knives.
This Spyderco was made by Klotzli in their Swiss factory. The CF is of a super smooth reflective finish
and is that used on the Sauber team F1 car. Finding one of these isn't easy never mind one
which has the anodising in perfect condition.
Enjoy!

Blade is longer than the one on the boker keycom i had which is a plus point and an added bonus is that for some reason it doesn't rattle on my keyring like my stand in pen knife did. Would have preffered something that locks but at least this one is legal.

On the subject of things being illegal what would be the most illegal type of knife to own in the uk. The law does seem a bit messed up considering that i now have a blade on my keyring which is longer than my previous one yet this one is legal! ]]> Production Knives - General Discussion... kevinbeans http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?110095-Grasshopper-is-here My new found favourite!

Joseph Rodgers Info Request. http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?110085-Joseph-Rodgers-Info-Request.&goto=newpost Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:08:50 GMT I am researching a couple of Joseph Rodgers knives my father-in-law showed me awhile back. He has a box of old knives he has been collecting for years. The 2 Joseph Rodgers folding pocket knives caught my attention.

Is it significant for a knife to have "Joseph Rogers" as opposed to "Joseph Rodgers and Sons"?

The knives in question are 3-4 in. single blade and simply have:

Joseph
Rodgers
* +
Shefield
England

These are fairly old, I am guessing. One is a clip point and the other has a straight blade and is shaped like a parobolic arrow fletch. Both have most of the blade showing above the rosewood/walnut handle. I don't recall there being a metal bolster just a single hinge pin.

I read somewhere that years ago a young boy would be very proud to be the owner of a Joseph Rodgers pocket knife.

I'm looking for a new EDC and have come across this Fantoni knife on Heinnies.
Has anyone got any views on the knife or brand in question? Or can anyone suggest another knife?
I'd like something that has a bit of 'style'.
