Wow, I didn't know you couldn't carry a locking knife in Israel. I carry a Civivi Elementum but I am a Medic, so I have to imagine that it's a good enough reason lol
I live in Eastern NC and i can carry whatever as long as it folds. That said i ALWAYS since i was about 10 (im 61now) carry a SAK Spartan or a Tinker but carry it in combo with a Spyderco delica or Native 5 . I just cant understand why government do these insane knife laws. 🦉
total craziness; the law should be that each citizen HAS to carry a large knife and a gun! Its like the people making the laws live in a fantasy world.
Chag Atzmaut Sameach Raz. I have never heard or read that lock blade knives are illegal to carry here in Israel & KWS has been selling large locking blade 111mm, 130mm & 136mm Victorinox knives for over 50 years as do sports, hobby, cutlery, gift & military surplus shops which sell all types of locking knives, flick knives, axes, batons, kung fu stars, daggers & swords and I have carried large locking blade knives here in Israel since I was an IDF conscript in 1970 and in particular I had a 4 inch blade Spanish made clone of the Buck 110 folding hunter for around 25+ years till I gifted it to a friend in my IDF reserve unit upon leaving active reserve service at age 46. I have bought on Amazon, eBay , Fruggo & directly from foreign websites all sorts of locking flipper knives & assisted opening lock blade knives, all of these passed through Customs (without any import fees) as they are not on any restricted weapons list . When I go out I always have a large locking knife in my pocket (in addition to a smaller SAK) and the only time here in Israel where I had to pass through a police screening involving emptying the contents of my pockets was at the Western Wall about 5 years ago & I had a 111mm Victorinox slide lock Picnicker in my pocket & a 58mm Midnite Manager on my key ring. Nothing was said to me and I was allowed to proceed to the Wall to pray ( as were several men carrying licensed pistols ) with the knives in my pocket. Lets face it Arab terrorists are using large kitchen knives & meat cleavers & not pocket knives to carry out terror attacks.
Hi Steve, great seeing you here again buddy ❤️ Locking knives are perfectly legal to sell & buy & own here in Israel, but are 100% illegal to carry on your person without reasonable justification. It doesn't necessarily mean that someone will automatically get in trouble if caught - but if a police officer decided to take that someone to court, a judge can put that someone away for up to five years with no proof of crime and no history of violence. These knife laws are ignorant and wrong, I agree, but that's the reality here whether we like it or not.
Another really great video. Very relaxing and entertaining at the same time. I don't really have anything to say, but could you explain how you go from shalom to adios?
Thank you so much, Ann ❤️ Honestly never thought about it too much (the "adios" thing), I don't even speak Spanish, it just happened one time and felt nice, so I just let it happen naturally I guess.. 😅 Is it too weird?
Hey like the content sir,I’m a recent immigrant to Israel and I’m already missing the carry laws we have back in the states..the knife laws here are so oppressive it’s crazy,do you see any chance of reform in carry laws?
Thank you for watching, and welcome to Israel buddy! Let's grab a beer sometime 🤘 Unfortunately I don't think knife laws will change here any time soon, but one can always hope.
אחלה תוכן, שמח שנחשפתי! אני חושב שראיתי פעם סקירות שלך על טכנולוגיה, אם אני זוכר נכון, גם שם השקעת מאוד (אם זה אתה 😅). אז קודם כל, תודה רבה! ושתי שאלות.. 1. יש סיכוי שתעשה תוכן כזה בעברית? לא שיש לי בעיה עם אנגלית, פשוט יש המון תוכן כזה באנגלית, ולא מצאתי שום דבר דומה לזה בעברית. 2. מאיפה קנית את הביינצ׳מייד? ניסתי פעם להשיג את האולר הזה, ולא מצאתי מקום ששולח לישראל.
Hello, thanks for the video ! I am confused, if someone is going to commit a act of violence with a knife, what is the difference if the knife used is a large slip joint or fixed blade or locking knife ? I don't get it !
Most of the people in the Israeli EDC community completely agree with you, myself included 🙏 The law doesn't always makes sense, and it sucks, but it is what it is ❤️
So when it comes to utility knives there's less of chance you'll get in trouble if you're pulled over by a police officer, as long as they're not the flip-out kind such as the Milwaukee fastback or the Gerber EAB. But personally, I don't like the Gerber Prybrid, neither of the two versions. The "prying" side is less than ideal and the blade side is not as good as many other utility knives in that category.
Shalom Brian 🤘 Congrats on your new Baby Banter! I upload a review on the Climber a couple of weeks ago, would love to hear your thoughts on it and see if you agree with my conclusions ❤️
The Civivi baby banter is a really good knife! It is a bit harder to do the reverse flick on this because the thumb stud on that side is lower so there's not as much room for your finger. Easier if there is a thumb hole like with most spyderco knives.
Thank you! 😅 I'm not giving up tho. This Baby Banter is really fun to play with, I'm practicing the back-flick and eventually I'll get it right every time 👌
Not any that I know of, unfortunately 🙏 Honestly, I don't see these laws change in the foreseeable future, the vast majority of Israeli citizens couldn't care less about carrying a knife in their pocket, I was one of those people until I accidentally started watching EDC videos a couple of years ago. The "knife culture" here in Israel is practically nonexistent. In the eyes of the general public knives are considered weapons, not tools.
@@Practical_EDC hehe thanks a lot :D it bears less problems with authorities than for example the Forester or Hunter. I'm considering to get the Cybertool as a proper comensatory tool due to its bit drivers tho. What do you think?
The Cybertool is one of my favorites - depending on the specific model you get (I personally need both the scissors and the pliers) ❤️ But they're all wonderful if you often find yourself dealing with small electronics or doing a lot of maintenance on your knives - however, keep in mind you're limited to the bits that comes with the tool, so make sure those are actually the ones you need before purchasing (the Cybertool ain't cheap 😉) Let me know if you end up buying one!
The UKPK is a wonderful knife 😍 I was actually considering buying one for everyday carry, but I ended up choosing the Lionsteel Roundhead 😊 Maybe I'll get the Spyderco later down the road.
@@Practical_EDC .... I recommend the Heinnie Hayens (UK) UKPK edition with the drop point. A very versatile knife, the blade design allows the finger to lay across the top of the blade for fine work if needed. I always carry a SAK Handyman or Climber in a belt pouch and a UKPK in the pocket.
You're laws are exactly the same as here in Britain we can carry a locking folder or fixed blade including swords but you need a reason. I carry victorinox, GEC and rough Ryder's however I do carry lock knives without a reason my thoughts are i own firearms if they can trust me with shotguns/rifles they can trust me with a knife... To think we used to rule the world. All the best
@@Practical_EDC really?! you people made the Uzi, Tavor 21 and the Galil not to mention the Jericho 941 and Desert eagle. Sorry for the rambling but I like firearms.
@@Practical_EDC wow more strict and people complain about it here, people are surprised however what you can own here it's not as bad as people say you can own any firearm you want but you need a dam good reason.
I do not think Israel need a law that makes locking pocket knives illegal to carry without good reason. No need for good reasons when the people are good.
I agree. Unfortunately, this is the way it'll stay. The Israeli government will not change the law, they have no reason to, the EDC community here is practically non-existent, couldn't be more than 1000 people if I'm being generous.
You knife laws sound almost as confusing as ours in Canada. One of our problems is we have federal laws (Canada), provincial laws (ex Alberta), and city laws (calgary) And of course they contradict eachother. 🙄 Then add to the confusion like yours its up to the police officer to nake a judgment call if you intend the knife as a tool (legal) or a weapon self-defense or not (illegal). And it just gets worse the more you read 😑 I carry mostly concealed (legal in city) but try and leave a tiny bit of the knife showing. So if the federal and provincial laws come into play im still sort of legal 🤔🤷♂️ To avoid the mass confusion about folders and since i prefer them anyways i carry fixed blade. Ive started to carry a biltong recently. I love the knife although i altered the grind on it a bit. To be a little more food prep friendly. Not much beats the horn handle!! I can not stand the newer materials that they use for handles. I prefer leather, horn, bone even wood. Natural materials basically. Anyways thank you for the great video i am very curious about knife laws and all around other cultures. Ive been carrying around some of those type plyers everyone is raving about. To see if i could move away from a multi-tool and towards a swiss tool. So far i xant do it lol between my sog powerpint and my gerber suspension, i ust cant give them up. Cheers 🍻
Thank you for the insights on the Canadian knife laws, buddy! I remember you told me about your love for fixed blades in one of my previous videos, I'm happy for you that their allowed by law over there ❤️ Here in Israel it's a hard NO for fixed blades - except for very specific scenarios, and even then, you kinda have to hope that the police officer knows the law to the letter. Otherwise you'll probably get in trouble just the same.
I live out in South Korea where the laws are equally as anal. But I've never had a reason to need a knife, but I do have one on my Gerber Dime which I assume is ok to carry on my person.
Wow, I didn't know you couldn't carry a locking knife in Israel. I carry a Civivi Elementum but I am a Medic, so I have to imagine that it's a good enough reason lol
The Elementum is such a great knife! ❤️

No! I thought maybe I stumbled on to an Easter egg, kind of - Shalom is obviously connected to your your identity; I thought maybe adios was, as well.
My latest video I decided to end with "Shalom" instead of the usual "adios", would love to hear what you think 😍

Great video, what about something like a Gerber prybrid? It doesn't fold out but it manually pushes out utility blade
So when it comes to utility knives there's less of chance you'll get in trouble if you're pulled over by a police officer, as long as they're not the flip-out kind such as the Milwaukee fastback or the Gerber EAB.

think about the Spyderco Lil Native in the slip joint version
Will do! Thanks for the recommendation 🌷
Hope you and your family are keeping safe
Thank you so much ❤️
I just uploaded an 'update' video, your support is very important and appreciated 🙏
... I carry the Spyderco UKPK, and we can carry locking blades for work ....BUT not casually.

Hello, where do you order benchmade knives??
I bought it from a friend here in Israel.
But I assume you can just order from their website if you live in the US.
@@Practical_EDC I also live in Israel. I was looking for a good web-site to order. Most of online knife stores doesn't deliver to Israel
You should try White Mountain Knives, I think they ship to Israel.
@@Practical_EDC thanks 🙏🏻
Is it allowed to own a balisong or an automatic knife in Israel?
Absolutely illegal to carry.
You can own both, but can't leave the house with them.
Lol yea would love to some time!
Ok thank you for the info must say that kinda sucks though 🙄
All the best!
