You sound like my 3 year old daughter.

DaveK · **Reply #91 on:** November 05, 2009, 07:51:26 PM

She wants a UKPK too?

Respect

Benner · **Reply #92 on:** November 05, 2009, 07:56:27 PM

Nah, for the cost of that she'd rather get a classier second hand Sebbie.

Nikos · **Reply #93 on:** November 05, 2009, 08:01:52 PM

Derailing again: did you know there is also a DKPK, with a shorter blade and a hollow spydie hole, to comply to Danish legislation? (Allan?) I just found out...

Benner · **Reply #94 on:** November 05, 2009, 08:03:16 PM

I (we) sure did. AHB even looked into getting one, but as you can still OH it, it is illegal in the country it was made for.

But they can't say anything to my Bug, though..Not even a Hobbit could OH that one..

Wait, so the law is as long as you can open it one handed somehow it's illegal? Hell I can OH open a SAK or opinel if I tried.

No, it's just the ones produced as OH..

Yes, but the danish retailer I contacted won't import them anymore, because they might can be opened with one hand after all...

I wonder if he had the same problems atht Ben had recently, and seems to have affected some UKPK imports?

Well, after a day's playing with my new toy, all I can say is that I was right and Ben was wrong

This thing is friggin' awesome, and over-priced or not - I couldn't be happier with it

A common occurance.

Hehe.

Benner · **Reply #103 on:** December 14, 2009, 01:44:37 PM

I never said it wasn't a good knife, just that I thought it was overpriced (and you haven't disagreed with me) and that I would prefer the Urban. As you only have the UKPK you don't have an Urban to compare so I may still be right after all.

DaveK · **Reply #104 on:** December 14, 2009, 03:31:41 PM

.... yet .......

Although, I actually can't see how any improvement could be possible in a (UK legal) knife tbh. It really is, exactly what I was after. The price was actually pretty reasonable too (it was a gift

).

I think I made the right choice with the Foliage green scales too - a bit less "in your face" than the Orange.

nuphoria · **Reply #105 on:** December 14, 2009, 04:46:21 PM

I have the exact same one Dave and it's the perfect EDC knife IMO, never leaves my side really.

Glad you're happy with it mate

Of course.......green is the new "mean"

nuphoria · **Reply #107 on:** December 14, 2009, 09:04:43 PM

Oh yes, it's got to be green

Benner · **Reply #108 on:** December 14, 2009, 11:38:35 PM

The green does look pretty sweet.

Neil · **Reply #109 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:07:59 AM

The green is nice but part of me still fancies some orange. I got mine when you could have it in any colour, so long as it was black $:-\$ Still the black is OK as well

Any road, glad you're liking it Dave

And you could use a Sharpie to add in the black strips.

Neil · **Reply #111 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:19:54 AM

Between you and me, I have considerd doing some black/yellow G10 scales, not for the UKPK like but on a SAK.

... Don't tell any one.

DaveK · **Reply #114 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:28:50 AM

I do kind of like the orange, but as this is going to be my "take everywhere and use it without fear of arrest" knife, I thought it might be better to go with something discreet. Plus, it matches my walking trousers

Do it. There was a guy selling some G10 on British Blades recently I think. Some MOP and Titanium too!

Ooh, got a link?

Have a mooch around that "Dealer Sales" forum - loads of good stuff to play with.

Neil · **Reply #117 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:42:35 AM

Thanks for the links..

Oh, members only to view $:-\$

Oh didn't realise that sorry.

So join?

Neil · **Reply #119 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:55:44 AM

There's some good info on the site and I have on occasion lurked around but (probably just me) there seems to be a bit of an "edge" to the place that makes me not want to join in. Too many tensions?

I guess I'm spoiled by MT.O Lets face it, does anyone know of a friendlier forum than this? I don't.
