Great blades, always take one when doing the wabbits, nice sharp point for paunching

I have had a fascination with sharp things for as long as I can remember (perhaps I shouldn't be telling you things like this after our first meeting) I was caught with my first stilleto bladed flicknife at the age of 12. My folks found it under my pillow and called the local bobby, (remember them?) Sergeant Russell IIRC. He was a rather large man with size 12's and a voice like a drill instructor. I was suitably terrified and never owned another one!
I have always assumed since then that they were completely illegal to own or carry. Not that it matters though, as you have pointed out that they are illegal to pass on to anyone but the police for disposal, which would make it pretty difficult to get hold of one.

My wife tells everyone who will listen about one of my trips to the game fair at Scone, whilst buying two Bucks, an Alpha and a sheath version she asked "do you need another knife" to which I replied without thinking "you can never own too many knives"
knives are Man shoes...... :icon_razz:
