Spyderco Nand
The Spyderco NAND is anything but ordinary. Designed by mechanical engineer Paul Alexander, this knife blends smart engineering with a unique, futuristic aesthetic. What makes it stand out: the NAND doesn’t lock. It works like a modern friction folder, using an innovative ball-joint mechanism that holds the blade open without a locking system. And that’s exactly what makes it legal to carry in many places across Germany – a big plus for everyday use. Specs that matter: Blade steel: Böhler M398 – incredibly wear-resistant, stainless, and razor sharp Wharncliffe blade shape – straight, precise, practical Titanium handle – lightweight, strong, beautifully machined Deep-carry wire clip – rides low in the pocket, barely noticeable Reversible clip – for both left and right-hand carry The NAND is probably the most advanced non-locking Spyderco ever made – a perfect example of how innovative a slipjoint-style knife can be today.

Böker Plus Cox Titanium - Knife Lounge Exclusive
Böker Plus Cox Titanium - Knife Lounge Exclusive
This is a pre-order at a special pre-order price! The time has finally come: the Boker Plus Cox is now available in an exclusive full titanium version – and only from us in the Knife Lounge. Together with Boker, we have reissued this legendary design by Jens Anso. Now it is ready for your everyday life!  Titanium handle – simple and strongAs the name suggests, the handle of the Cox Pro is made entirely of titanium. Until now, versions were available in G10, Micarta and wood – but now we are raising the Cox to the premier class of EDC knives. Titanium not only provides extreme stability and durability, but also looks fantastic with the rough stonewash finish: robust and elegant at the same time.The handle fits perfectly in the hand, and the pocket clip, mounted in the tip-up position, does not interfere with the ergonomics at all. A small but elegant detail: the hardware and the clip are bronze-anodized.Blade made of M390 – pure performanceThe blade? Absolutely top class. M390 steel is considered one of the best blade steels available. Produced using powder metallurgy, it offers exceptional hardness, impressive edge retention and top corrosion resistance. No matter how demanding the cutting task is, the Cox can handle it.Safe, Robust and Suitable for Everyday UseThe framelock holds the blade securely in place, so you can fully rely on your knife. Despite its compact size, the Cox sits comfortably in the hand. And the best part: it can be opened with two hands and is therefore 42a-compliant. Included: the cool Boker Plus Pouch, which can be used to store not only the knife but also small items.A design with historyThe Cox, along with the Haddok, is one of the oldest designs by Jens Anso to be implemented by Boker. Nevertheless, this knife looks as modern today as it did on the first day. Especially in the full titanium version, the Cox looks like it just came fresh from Anso's studio. This design has really lost none of its charm!

Piratech Slippy Kraken
Piratech Slippy Kraken
A slipjoint done right. The Slippy Kraken combines smart design, everyday legality, and real cutting performance. Minimalist, modern, and ready for your pocket. Piratech Slippy Kraken – The Slipjoint, Reimagined The Slippy Kraken isn’t a throwback to old-school knives – it’s a bold redesign. Piratech has taken the slipjoint concept, broken it down, and rebuilt it with modern tech and clever engineering. The result is a knife that’s legal to carry in most parts of Germany – and still plays in the top league when it comes to materials and function. This isn’t the knife you carry just because you have to. This is the one you want to carry. Tool-free inlay swapping with MagSnap Thanks to a magnetic mechanism, the inlays stay rock-solid during use but can be changed in seconds – no tools, no hassle. Ideal if you like switching things up from time to time. Recurved backspring meets ergonomic design The spring is reverse-tensioned – sounds weird, feels great. This construction allows for a naturally curved handle without sacrificing mechanical stability. It fits your hand like it was made just for you. 118-degree mid-stop – smarter than the standard Most slipjoints stop at 90 degrees. Sounds fine, but in practice it puts your fingers at risk. The Slippy Kraken uses a 118° stop, meaning the blade is further away from your fingers if it ever starts to close unintentionally. Small detail, big safety bonus – especially when applying thumb pressure or during closing. Spring tension adjustment – your knife, your feel Crisp and snappy or smooth and easy? You decide. The backspring tension is fully adjustable, giving you total control over the action. Compact spring, more usable blade Because of the smart internal design, more space is available for the blade. You’re getting full performance in a slipjoint-friendly format – no compromises necessary. The Slippy Kraken isn’t a backup solution. It’s proof that a slipjoint can be modern, capable, and completely ready for daily carry – with no trade-offs in design, feel, or function.

Otter Anchor Knife Micarta Knife Lounge Exclusive V2
Blade material: Stainless
Otter anchor knife Micarta Knife Lounge Exclusive V2Classic anchor knife with green Micarta handle scalesNew in the V2: bolster and liner are made of solid brass You have the choice between a non-stainless carbon steel blade (C75) or a rust-resistant blade (1. 4034 steel) The anchor knife is both a tool and a piece of living tradition. What began in 1840 in a tiny cottage at the Königsmühle in Solingen soon became a trusted companion for sailors, craftsmen, and adventurers, enduring harsh conditions and everyday tasks alike. Even with its classic wooden handle scales, it carries the spirit of history – but in this new interpretation, the maritime classic has been reimagined.  In the V2 version, nostalgic charm meets modern materials: green, blasted Micarta handle scales and solid brass bolsters and liners give the knife a refined, matte appearance and a distinctive tactile quality. The carefully coordinated brass elements – from the bolsters and rivets to the iconic anchor – create a harmonious aesthetic and will develop a rich, individual patina over time.  You have a choice of blades: a non-stainless carbon steel blade (C75) for those who appreciate an authentic feel and striking appearance, or a stainless 1.4034 steel blade for easier care in everyday use. The traditional sheepfoot blade shape has always been designed for controlled pull cuts – ideal for slicing through ropes and lines. Yet even far from docks and decks, the anchor knife proves its versatility: with its rounded spine, it’s also perfect for spreading butter on bread – ready for any adventure, whether at sea or on a picnic blanket.  The slipjoint mechanism, with its firm backspring, holds the blade securely open without the need for a lock, adding an extra layer of safety. And that prominent brass anchor on the handle? It’s more than just decoration – it’s a tribute to the knife’s seafaring heritage and gives every anchor knife a distinctive soul and striking presence.

Section 42a

In Germany, it's important to comply with legal regulations when carrying knives. 42a-compliant knives meet the requirements of the Weapons Act and can be legally carried in public, as long as they meet certain criteria. Section 42a of the Weapons Act defines which knives are permitted in public spaces.

Our tip: We've summarized all important details about the § 42a-compliant label for you on our info page.

Which knives are allowed?

A knife is considered 42a-compliant if its blade length does not exceed 12 cm. Knives with one-handed opening mechanisms or locking blades that exceed this length, as well as certain types like switchblades or butterfly knives, are prohibited and may not be carried in public.

42a-compliant knives – for your everyday use

Looking for a knife you can always carry with you during your daily life or adventures? Then these knives are the top choice. The advantage is that you can carry them without worrying about legal consequences. They feel great in hand, have excellent edge retention, and feature handle scales that provide a secure grip. Plus, they fully comply with legal regulations. We offer a wide selection of fixed blade knives and folding knives ideal for everyday use.

Knives from top manufacturers

Our 42a-compliant knives come exclusively from top manufacturers such as Böker, CRKT, Knafs, and Spartan Blades – all known for their quality and precision. These brands combine years of traditional craftsmanship with innovative design, resulting in knives that deliver excellent cutting performance, are easy to carry, and – last but not least – simply look great.
