Published: 5 days ago
Can you carry a 100-year-old Sheffield masterpiece every single day in the UK — completely legally?
Absolutely, if you know which knives qualify. In this video, I'm walking you through 5 genuine vintage Sheffield slipjoints that are 100% legal to EDC under UK law, ranging from an accessible Arthur Wright Lambsfoot right up to a George Wostenholm I*XL that belongs in a museum — but you can actually carry it.
Non-locking blade. Under three inches. That's all UK law requires. And Sheffield made some of the finest knives ever to meet that standard.
Whether you're new to traditional pocket knives or a seasoned collector looking for your next legal EDC, by the end of this video you'll know exactly which makers to trust, what to look for, and how much to spend.
