Comparative Pictures of Small & large Sebenzas ?

Trust me, I am 110% SURE on this.

There was a case where the Judge decided any folder with a lock would be treated as a fixed blade.

Case law and a stupid Judge!

I would post a link, but look for the metropolitan police website. Ignore the bull and hype and look for the actual case law. ITs plain as English.

Lock on knife=not legal unless you have a reasonable reason to carry.

BKCG are very poor for info in general, they get many of the steel type descriptors wrong (I have told them for gawds sake and they still get it wrong! Go to the website and count the errors! There are tens of dozens!:rolleyes: Piss Poor IMHO:mad: )

Ask Frank at Framar knives. He knows the Law if you don't trust me.
 
Cheers mate, its not that I don't trust your opinion, its just i'd previously been told otherwise, but I'm glad you put me straight.

I'm very glad to told me about this before i splashed out :(

Its such a shame, surley this means i can't even legally carry my pissy little gerber multi-lock pliers :(


Ho hum, and I was set on a sebenza aswell, but don't think i can justify one if i'm not allowed to cary it :(
 
Mindz_I

You ARE allowed to carry, with good reason. Therefore, if you use your knife at work, for sports/hobby etc, then you should have no problem, even if questioned. If however, you are stood on a street corner showing your blade off to your mates and a policeman happens by, then you will get arrested. If you are down the pub with your knife in your pocket and the police raid the place, you will be arrested. If you are stopped and searched and you say "I carry this knife for self defence", you will most definately be arrested.

....but....how often do you get stopped and searched by the police? I'm almost 40 years old and I have never been stopped by a policeman for anything, ever. Why would I be? I'm a (reasonably) law abiding citizen. I have also carried a knife, daily, for over 30 years.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you have got this far (i.e. you are quite prepared to shell out a lot of money for a Sebenza), then I would assume that you are someone who appreciates quality and wants to own the best, rather than someone who is going to be knocking over Off Licenses, so what have you got to worry about?

Just my tuppence worth ;)

Yeah true,

Thanks alot for your thoughts mate.

My problem is that i live by / in a fairly bad area and therefore on a few occasions i've been stopped while travelling through it.

Its exactly that i'm worried about, as I really want to know that i'm compleatly within my rites to carry what i am. :/
As is though i think i'll just stick with my multi-tool and put off getting a seb as at least in my eyes SAKs and multi-tools are looked on alot easier by the law.
 
A good option in such cases is an Opinel N7 as few know about the swivel color and its 3" of edge.

Oh and the fact its dirt cheap so its no biggy to throw if in doubt.:rolleyes: :mad:
 
The pics from knife art are the exact same knives. I don't doubt that knifeart is passing them off as small groups and large groups, but they are in fact the same knives. You can tell if you look at their relation to the marks in the marble. Everything is identical. Yes, I know that the pics both have different urls, but it doesn't change the fact that they are the same pic. Before you argue against my statement, just look at the marks on the marble at both ends of the knives. You will see that the knives line up exactly in relation to those marks. This would be impossible if they were both large and Small Sebbies.

Edited to add: I'll help you see my point. Look at the regular Sebenzas in each pic. Notice there is a small "dot" in the marble just below the tip of the blade. There is also a small brown "dot" in the marble just above thesecond screw in the handle. This dot almost touches the handle. These two marks are in the exact same location in both pics, which would be impossible if one set was of a small and the other was of a large.
