British Army-issue NATO locking pocket knife, a modern issue, featuring a single large folding blade with a locking mechanism. This compact military utility knife represents the modern British Army pattern of personal field equipment and is designed as a practical general-purpose cutting tool for military service. The straightforward construction reflects the emphasis on durability, portability and reliable utility found in contemporary British military equipment.
The large folding blade provides a useful cutting tool for general field duties, with the locking mechanism securing the blade in the open position during use. The compact folding design allows the knife to be carried conveniently as part of personal equipment, making it a practical example of modern British military issue equipment rather than a historical or vintage pocket knife.

It would complement collections covering current and recent British military equipment, personal issue items and NATO field equipment. Its simple one-blade configuration also provides a useful comparison with earlier multi-purpose NATO pocket knives incorporating additional tools such as can openers, screwdrivers and marlin spikes.
