Internet shopping seems the way to go at the moment. It can be a bit of a lottery with some goods.
I just bought this Anglo-Arms knife for a smidgen over a tenner, and am really impressed.

I use it for work and also for gathering stuff whilst walking the dogs. I was working on a site in Bromley in 2004 , and a lorry driver looked at me and said "you look like the sort of geezer to carry a tool."

And I got stopped going to a Jeremy Corbyn presentation 2 years ago, because I forgot to take my knife out of my work trousers.

And no, it's not for doing 'work' on prostitutes. In a few weeks it'll be used for cutting sprigs of holly to decorate the house and dining table.


As a qualified mechanical engineer, I particularly appreciate the design features which have overcome issues with earlier earlier lock-knives.

Has anyone else made a gratifying purchase recently ?

The bit on the back cuts line. Used to have to wear a Zak knife for skydiving. If you get a line over you can cut one line without losing much control. In my earlier days the reserves were round and you didn’t really want to deploy them.

Must have been a concern during some of the Milk Tray adverts.
