Well made too! This is my 4th. one! Get them while you can as this model is no longer being made.Very sharp & strong. It is not a " lock blade " but when opened it stay's firmly in place. When you first get it oil it good,then let it sit overnight. Then clean off all oil inside & out and just put 2 drops of oil on the outside ( open it 1/2 way & oil by the hinge area. and ( open all the way & oil by the hinge area) inside. I cut the loop of on the end on one and filed it down to smooth it out. Nice & flat! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy Knife, But Rather Difficult to Open, Needs Lubrication *by D***N on April 3, 2025* Sharp right out of the box. As another reviewer said, it's rather stiff and hard to open - two hands and then some! However, I'm hoping that with some recommended mineral oil lubrication that will help. Until that is done I don't think I would be able to use it as a pocket knife for EDC. It locks securely open, so no danger at all of folding back in on itself. Very slim profile, so thus a good fit for a pocket knife. Has a bale on it for those who wish to attach with paracord. BTW, I purchased the single blade version. The stamping on the outside is nice ("The Genuine British Army Knife," etc.) Part of it is in 'Old English' font, and looking at a review online another version of this knife has regular font. Not sure why the difference, but the paper work included assures me that this is an original. I noticed that several did not give this knife a very good review, but I'm not sure I'd agree with their assessments. It appears quite solid with its all stainless steel construction, much like my US Military Utility Knife, and as I said it's very sharp. The only obvious drawback, thus far, is the difficulty opening it. Although labeled a genuine British Army Knife, it appears that the single blade version made not have been 'officially' issued to British troops. Nonetheless, it will be a great addition to my collection.Update: I used mineral oil, as directed, but it did not help as much as I hoped. My latest attempt has been to use gun oil, and that seems to be loosening the knife up. It is an especially stiff knife to open, but I think with some oil and use it will loosen up more in time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice and sturdy but tough to open *by K***. on July 4, 2020* This stainless steel knife comes reasonably sharp . I think I added to its' sharpness with some swipes on a whetstone , so sharpening does not seem to be too difficult. The knife has a slim profile and does not clog up your pockets. No pocket clip and/or thumb stud...fine with me ! It comes with instructions to give it a lubricating coat of oil.....the instructions mention mineral oil specifically. However, this knife most assuredly has a stiff opening and closing. It will take two hands and some strength on your part. That's ok with me also....makes knife feels firm and sturdy . The blade is a sheepsfoot style. Giving this one a 4 to 4.5 star rating. ## Frequently Bought Together - IXL Knives British Army Clasp Knife 3 1/2" Closed Stainless Knife - KNIFE PIVOT LUBE Original Knife Oil for Blades, Synthetic Pocket Knife Lubricant, Knife Honing Oil for Cleaning Knives, Premium Knife Oil Lubricant for Blade Care, Precision Knife Oiler Bottle (10ml) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12980366-knives-british-army-clasp-knife-3-1-2-closed-stainless](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12980366-knives-british-army-clasp-knife-3-1-2-closed-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
