All About Pocket Knives

no spring TJ this is the uk lol, just thumb stud OH type, flicks out easy, i added a little nano oil, ive added a little blue hagmans knot lanyard to it and it will go in my backpack for work tonight

In pic 6, there appears to be a spring just above the blade.

cheers guys, and i did leave a post answering you chet but it didnt come up but im sure ill be ok chet as only probably carry it while mountain biking and ive carried a leatherman wave since 98 with no problems from the police, im a family guy and no fug so i should be fine

Good lookin knife Zed.

I recently purchased a Sanrenmu liner lock also. Seller on the bay from China.
Only took 12 biz days to arrive and is a very solid knife. Cost $5.85 new, and
shipping was a few bucks. Great 'losable' knife for hiking and the like. Good to
hear that you like yours too. (This one has pocket clip on other side)

cheers trev and nice SRM you have there, this one is on the site in the uk also , i think they are very well made for the money and seem like they should cost more, but i agree a nice one to throw in the backpack

I agree totally Zed, might have to grab one to throw in each vehicle around here.
The price is crazy low for what you get.

i might get the SRM T01a for the car as is £12 and has the half serrated blade and a seat belt cutter

i also have to add that this has one of the best clips ive used on these types of knives,
