This lock must be released before the knife can be folded. The device improves safety by preventing accidental blade closure while cutting. This example was used by a soldier from 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, during the F@lklands War of 1982.</p><p></p><p><img src="https://collection.nam.ac.uk/images/960/137000-137999/137965.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><h3>Respirator carried by the Scots Guards in the F@lklands War, 1982</h3><p>The 2nd Battalion of the Scots Guards sailed for the South Atlantic in the 'QE2' on 12 May 1982 as part of 5th Infantry Brigade.
