On mine, on the side face down when flipping, a bit of the DLC seems to have worn away, perhaps from the extra friction against the liners on that side. Is that normal or expected? I've tried cleaning it a bit in case it's just a bit of the liner material getting embedded in the DLC. I'm surprised because I noticed it after less than a week.

Hello James! The Atlas looks really. I like the combination of the angular/edgy handle and curve of the blade. I don’t have large hands but will appreciate the larger handle, hate that insecure feeling when a handle is a touch too short. Ordered a PVD black micarta one, can’t wait for it to arrive!

Can you EDC this, I know its not designed to be used as a weapon but the finger ring could make it fall in the knuckleduster law. "A knuckleduster, that is, a band of metal or other hard material worn on one or more fingers"
@twistedassisted347416 күн бұрын
@@joeht1586 I certainly EDC it, I have blunted the pry edge a bit to be on the safe side. Remember, anything you carry can be termed an offensive weapon, if the police have evidence of your intent to misuse it. A heavy pair of metal scissors have more in common with a trench knife than anything else, however if your intent is to use them for their intended purpose then they aren't an offensive weapon, but a tool you're entitled to carry. So if you're found to be carrying a BAR-KEEP after a football match, where there's violence, then expect to get into trouble. Even a sub 3 inch non locking knife (which you're entitled to carry without a reason in UK law) can be termed an offensive weapon if you say you're carrying it for self defense. Use good judgement, act like a gentleman and you'll be treated with deference, misbehave or be irresponsible and you'll be arrested for carrying a plastic spoon.

I've got one of these and it is a good tool however I am concerned about the sharpness of it. Would you know if I blunted the edges using a stone would it be UK legal? I brought it thinking it was a pocket pry bar but ended up realising it was a sharp. I have uk legal knives for sharpness, I don't need a complicated pocket chisel.
@twistedassisted3474Ай бұрын
Our main concern was that the factory would produce a pry bar with a blunt edge not fit for purpose, as it happens the factory were a little too diligent, so we recommend taking 30 seconds to take the edge off the pry bar using a whetstone. With that done I see no reason why it would be interpreted as a fixed blade by authorities. As with UK legal knives,care has to be taken that you don't carry them to the pub etc, just use common sense, and we can't see there being a problem. It's quite rural where I live so it's different to living in a city, just exercise good judgement.
