Spyderco 'Lightweight' FRN UKPK

[gorilla]

i'll definitely be after one - i just hope the uk supplier price stays sensible

I have an original UKPK in black G10 and I love it, never actually EDCd it cos I live mainly in London and it's an expensive knife to risk losing.
I've been looking for a EDC that is slightly more interesting than my usual SAK but ideally under £40.
This might have just hit the nail on the head. (even though it's a little more)
I would like to see Black and Olive Green as handle colour options.
I've got to say I am quite intrigued by the maroon colour! (British Racing Green would be nice too)

I strongly suspect I will be buying one of these! and actually carrying it!

[Lurch]

Hmmm.
2-3 months off production but handyniknaks have the price and spec?
Yet if I ask EBR I'll get blank looks down the 'phone.
I don't get it.
I assume they get the spec from the catalogue but the price? EBR can't even give me a bloody delivery date for what should be a stock item (sharpmaker).
Grumble grumble.

Going back to GIN1, I have a Spydie Worker (that was the first model they made); it is GIN1 and it is razor sharp on par with my other Spydies. Bottom line, GIN1 cuts very well!

Good stuff, I'll get one of these for sure. I don't even own a folder currently but this'll be a handy, very capable and affordable option.

Racing green sounds good!

Drop point grey UKPK for me. Looks very sweet. And I'll be happy with that till Sal brings out the Slipit Native.

You are still going to do that Sal, right?

I neeeeeed that knife mate!!

Ditto, and for the price it would be a EDC user.

Deffo on the cards for me.

Another one to add my small collection, i wonder what shade of blue it is.

Any good websites or pictures anyone has which clearly show the distinction between hollow and flat grind...? Ive tried to find out exactly what the difference is as I've always been curious but to no avail.

I figured Id ask here as its been discussed in this thread with reference to the original UKPK

Here you go mate



1 is hollow, 2 is full flat. You can get high hollow grounds as well, I like them over narrow hollow grounds personally.

[andrew_cc]

Wow, thats perfect, just what I was looking for

Thanks

I have questions! Perhaps it's just me, but I'm not finding the answers I need in the catalogue;

Are the new UKPKs available with SpyderEdge blades?

Is the orange FRN Rescue UKPK the same price as the other FRN UKPKs?

Cheers

Hi Redeye...Yes there is a UKPK with a sheepfoot rescue blade, but only in orange g-10...not any frn versions If I'm correct. Forgive me, if I'm wrong

Be safe, and stay sharp...John
