EDC recomendations

[Benzy50]

Hi everyone, Im looking for recomendations for a EDC slipjoint, Im in the UK so has to be sub 3" blade and non locking I have a few different swiss amy knifes that i carry but looking for somthing a bit more heavy duty with a bigger and thick blade. At the moment im swaying towards a TBS Boar folder ( https://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk...ect-every-day-carry-knife---mk-ii-32246-p.asp) what are peoples thoughts?

Thanks colorodo,
Thanks for the link. There some good recomendations there but i have looked through that post previously and the reason i started a new post was because there where a lot of people saying that the one hand opening was causing lack of options where im personaly not fussed about that.

Sog terminus has a heavy blade. It's a 2 hand opener slip joint .

If you’re allowed a one hand opening knife, I’d look at the Spyderco options. I have an urban which I would definitely recommend. They also have one called the PITS and it’s a titanium-framed slip joint.

Or the three rivers manufacturing Viator. I don’t have any experience with it, but it looks pretty nice.

I really like the look of the new lion steel slip joint. Cant remeber the name.

https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/modern-slipjoints.1594566/ here's a different thread from July if you haven't seen it yet. I ended up getting a Lion Steel Shuffler. I believe the build quality to be great, and the m390 on it seems well done. I still don't love the looks of it, but I wanted a slipjoint in high end steel, so I'm happy with it!

Yer were allowed one hand opening just not assisted opening. Thanks for the recomendation.

Spyderco UKPK !
I took it to work today to show a coworker. Yes I used it while I was working.
Mine has the S110V blade alloy.
Here is a link to a photo of mine

PS : I have had the knife now for seven months and love the thing. Way to go Sal and Spyderco ! ! !

A Manly Wasp would work. The blade is just shy of 3 inches. It's a slip joint but the cam design is unique. It opens in stages. Legal in EU, but when fully opened is very stiff and is capable of hard work. I have the larger "comrade" version. Mine is a well made knife, which I carry frequently.

They make it in several blade steels:

Manly Wasp was made for your market.

Manly Knives are fantastic. The Wasp is what you need. D2 is super cheap and the C90V version is still u def $100.

 

[Benzy50]

Looks like its will be a Manly wasp then. Looking on there website the black and red with s90v for $80 with free shipping to the UK. Bonus
