The knife is great, it opens and closes easily with one hand, I also find the belt clip very handy. I was disappointed to find the colour of the handle in the (website) imagine does not match the actually colour. I ordered the yellow knife as it looked bright and I'd easily find it while on the plot, as I'm sure I'll put it down and not remember where! But the actually colour is a pale yellow, it's washed out. It's not a nice colour nor would it be easily spotted. It's also worth considering that this is a lock knife. My barrister brother in-law informed me this is different than, a for example, a swiss army knife. In regards to the law it's not something you can have on your person or in your car for on a causal basis. When carrying it you need to have a valid reason for doing so, for example you're on your way to or from the allotment.
