    As someone that has never been able to whistle myself, I applaud the man that's giving me the option to stab and whistle at the same time.

    Thanks.

    axes now knives….something is going down

    • Officer, I was going to buy this and post it yesterday but forgot. The axes posted here reminded me of it.

        all these guys are from SE QLD obviously

  • Since jaycar is selling it, I'm wondering what the rules for something like this is, in terms of keeping it in you car for emergencies such as cutting seatbelts. (Not stabbing people, I'm a pacifist) or if I can't keep it next to my seat, can I keep it in the boot? I'm in NSW.

      Knife exemptions exist for obvious reasons. They include, for work, genuine religious purposes, wearing an official uniform, organised exhibition by knife collectors, preparation or consumption of food or drink, participation in lawful entertainment, recreation or sport. These are examples and you need to prove you had a reasonable excuse for possession. Self defence is not a reasonable excuse but you listed some that would.be . Not legal advice, dyor

        So if police saw it in my car at say a RBT, they would be in their rights to charge me and the onus would then be on me to prove a reasonable excuse for possession in court? If so, sounds like too much work, I'll rather take my chances biting my seatbelt loose and headbutting the window.

        • +1

          Just buy a proper seat belt cutter if you're wanting one.

        • +1

          No, they would question you to establish why you have it. If you have a reasonable excuse and no evidence suggests you're lying, you're good. Better to use it for camping or fishing and buy a purpose built seatbelt thingy

          Why are police searching your car? Can't see anyone being taken to court for having a camping knife/ multi tool in your car after an RBT .

          • +1

            @Ok computer: I think he means if it is is visible in plain sight. If it is hiding in the glovebox then they cannot merely search your car without grounds of suspicion.

            • @Windows7forever:

              they cannot merely search your car without grounds of suspicion.

              Good luck with that. Police can do whatever, and if you don't like it, complain to the judge. The most they'll get is a slap on the wrist. Even for manslaughter! We've seen this play out over and over across all states in the last 3 years.

          • @Ok computer: If you leave it out visible then they might have a problem. But they wouldn’t be searching actively, don’t think they can be bothered.

          • +1

            @Ok computer: I had a friend charged with a knife that was visible in his car at an RBT stop. He did appeal it and win, but they had "destroyed" the knife.

    • in terms of keeping it in you car for emergencies such as cutting seatbelts.

      Check your local state laws about multitools. I believe many states say a blade "as part of a multitool" is okay.

      In your car, having pliers+screwdrivers+file+blade is probably even more useful for emergencies of various types.

      And your reason for having it in your glovebox is easily explained: it's there in case you need to do a minor repair on the car, like tightening the battery terminals, or to uncover the towing socket in your front bumper bar.

      But store it in the glovebox, or some crim may break into your car to steal it, particularly if it's a Gerber or Leatherman.

        I believe many states say a blade "as part of a multitool" is okay.

        Nope:

        Multi-tools are legal to own in Australia but they aren’t legal to carry in public all the time. You need to have a good reason for carrying a multi-tool and self-defense isn’t one. (Pocket Multi-tools)

        Just Qld & WA have exceptions:

        In most states – including New South Wales, Victoria, Northern Territory, and South Australia – it is illegal to carry a weapon, even for self-defense. This includes knives, which states consider dangerous articles or prohibited weapons.

        According to Victoria’s Legal Aid website, “The law says you can’t carry, possess or use a weapon to hurt people or to defend yourself. If the police believe you are illegally carrying a weapon, they can search you and your car without a warrant. If they find a weapon, they can take it from you”.

        Knife laws in Australia vary from state to state. For example, in Queensland, you’re allowed to use a Swiss army knife for utility purposes. Meanwhile, in Western Australia, there’s such a thing as a “lawful excuse” for carrying a weapon.

        Now, what is a “lawful excuse”? You can have a knife out if it’s a requirement for work (say, you’re a chef or an artist), or if you use it purely for entertainment. (New Idea)

    Thanks. I've always wanted a semi decent flick knife but was too scared to import any from o/s because I heard customs regularly seize them. Local stock and warranty makes it a steal for the price.

    • +1

      It's not a flick knife and it's not semi decent.

      Flick knives are spring assisted, prohibited and will be seized by customs.

      Look for a flipper and expect to pay much more for semi decent. No problem importing into Aus these days as long as the opening mechanism isn't assisted.

      Flick knife? If those are your expectations then I would advise not going near something like this.

      Best usage case scenario, it will open an envelope for you after struggling to pry its chinesium fake 420j2/hc stamped steel from its closed position with its 2 handed opening fingernail recess at the top of the blade. If you manage to get this far, you may get through 13 envelopes before it calls it a day. The only flicking this knife will expirience is towards the bin when you are fed up unfortunately.

    Survival Knife

    My own experience is that I wouldn't depend on anything from Jaycar for survival.

    • +2

      The 'survival' reference is more of a dare from them to you to survive even using the thing.

  • John Wick approves

  • I have this knife, it's fun for the first 30 mins but overall it's meh. The biggest issue is the blade locking mechanism, you have one lock for opening the blade and a DIFFERENT LOCK for closing it, bizarre and annoying as hell.

    I spent like an hour trying to stare a fire using the fire starter on a camping trip and failed, it's too small and hand cramping bother with.

    Fun toy but not a TOOL, not something you can rely on.
