One more thing to look for.

It was pretty cool. It was a beast. I can't keep everything. I sold it this last summer.

I have both the fixed blade and folding blade US versions. Never knew there was a British version.

In places where "gravity knives" and the like have been banned would this knife be classed as illegal because the blade folds into the handle or legal because half the blade is exposed in the folded position? Thanks

would this knife be classed as illegal

I think it's too long to be classed as anything but a machete.

It's not a gravity knife so no on that regard. It is a standard folding blade that is too big to fit in a pocket open or closed so not easily concealed either. I'm sure there are some places it would be illegal to carry simply because it's a large knife. Doen't have a pointy tip either.
