I live in a country where the only legal knife you can carry everyday is a 3 inch non-locking blade. If you use one of these in a forceful stabbing motion are they likely to close on your fingers or are there any that are designed in a way that this is unlikely to happen?

Yes go to the Hiennie Haynes website and look up the CRKT Liong Mah number 5 its only £25 in Hiennies own red colour or £46 in black. They types are designed with the choil on the first part of the blade edge which stops the blade closing on your hand.

You can also customise them.

Dang that's like the blade on my swiss army knife. I would be sad if I couldn't have all my good knives. In Texas I can carry my switchblade and my dagger with me pretty much anywhere I want. I wouldn't want to try to be defending myself with such a little blade and it would fold up and injure your hand if it doesn't lock. I've seen it happen. The best think I can think would be to devise some sort of external locking mechanism that's not "part of the knife" so it's legal, maybe? And fixed blade knives aren't allowed? That's sad.

Yup we cannot have anything that could see our muggers, rapists, murderers getting hurt by their victims.
 
What does every crime have in common--- criminals. Eliminate the repeat criminals and the crime rate will drop drastically. All the alternatives are just wasting tax dollars and training criminals to be more efficient.

Stop using common sense the Liberals and Socialists cannot cope with it.
 
Why do the citizens allow such nonsense?

Many generations of socialist brainwashing since 1948 and the advent of the socialist welfare state, Trust in the government the government knows best, Only the police should protect you from criminals never yourself, We will take 20 to 45% of your pay and give you a third world health service in return. Pay tax all your life then we will give you a pittance to live on in your dotage.
 
Nearly all common pocket knives were non locking around 50 years ago . Yes I prefer locking blades for tactical and survival knives but for cleaning wild game or such I like a simple Case Stockman or trapper . You can safely use a non locking knife for any situation if you are use to using one . You develop that feel for it . That being said most of My blades are locking or fixed .

I use my swiss army knife regularly for everyday tasks, and I've never had a problem with the blade closing on my fingers. But I would never want to use it for something where I wasn't in careful control, like a self-defense situation (the blade is too small to be effective for that anyway). I know non-locking blades can be used safely but blades that have a good lock are much safer in a variety of conditions and more versatile as well. They are like the perfect cross between folding and fixed blade knives.
 
Because it's MUCH better when the victims get hurt by the criminals. Y'alls law making people clearly left all their common sense somewhere.

Kate, remember the old American adage from the United States in the 1980s? " There are people who would rather read about how a girl was raped and strangled with her own pantyhose then read about how she shot her attacker dead" It described your nations democrats in the 1980s but it applies even better to the British establishment today.

EVERY Chief Constable in the UK, plus the Government are telling us every week that the COPS need more officers, more money, more eqipment because vicious, violent and sex assaults are increasing at alarmed rates and have done so since the 1990s. But as we keep trying to point out IT IS NOT THE POLICE BEING ROBBED< RAPED OR MURDERED, its the law abiding citizen who those same senior cops and politicians have left defenceless.

A 999 call for the police averages 12 minutes in cities and towns, it can take up to an HOUR out of town, the police simply cannot protect us yet they deny us the right to defend ourselves.
