The Svord has a great rep in the UK (ask the guides on Britishblades) - as a friction folder it's non locking so it can be legal edc here (most people grind the last 1/8 inch of the blade to make sure it is under 3"), but with that big friction lever and adjustable pivot screw it can be as safe as you like (you could in an emergency tie or tape that lever which would lock the blade open). Wood or coloured plastic handles make it non-tactical looking and the steel is supposed to be great for a pocket knife - and they are cheap as chips.
