Re: Kit List for Para Recruits
Question: i have a small knife under 3 inches, but it is a lock knife, is this acceptable to bring or should i leave it? i've heard rumours that lock knives are illegal in public, although i am not certain.Paratrooper01 wrote: Small penknife with a blade no more than 3 inches long.

Don't bother taking any kind of pen knife, they generally get taken off you when you arrive.
You'll be issued a knife when you get your kit, if you're not that lucky though the staff will usually organise a list of kit they can get you from John Bull and that'll include a pen knife if you're not issued one.
However, if you do want to take yours then go for it, it doesn't matter that its a lock knife as they're the type you'd be given anyway, you'll be handling weapons much more deadly than a pen knife while at Catterick so I'm sure they'll trust you with a lock knife
Just don't be daft enough to carry it round with you off camp.
