Silly Laws – Update

A bit of an update from the previous post about modifying my Leatherman Wave multi-tool, I have decided not to go ahead with a modification because the blade is quite loose without the lock and it will end up being quite dangerous and difficult to use. I posted a thread on the Bushcraft UK Forums about what I was planning to do and plenty of people thankfully talked me out if it. You can view the thread I started here if you want to have a read.

So now what are my options? Well I could of course continue to use the Leatherman Wave for EDC regardless and hope that if stopped by a police officer he has some common sense and lets me go on my way. Or of course there is the safe option of replacing it with a non locking knife.

Since I lack confidence that most police offers have common sense I’m going to go with the safe option and eventually find something to replace the Leatherman.
