swapped them out did you? looks good.

Ashley · **Reply #3 on:** November 13, 2011, 08:32:26 AM

@ Sean Yup my friend and I did the swapping of them. Bought both knives pretty cheap on BF and worked my plans out. Took me a month or so between buying the rescue to find the leaf at a good deal to make swap with.

I'm starting to think you have a thing for orange Ash

Ashley · **Reply #5 on:** November 13, 2011, 04:24:44 PM

@nuphoria I might have a slight thing for orange. I use to have another PE G10 Orange UKPK but can't remember for the life of me what happened to it.

Who can say?!

If memory plays right might have been someone in the UK.

Best place for a UKPK

What's the bottom knife Ash? Looks like the rescue knife without the serrations.

Ashley · **Reply #9 on:** November 15, 2011, 12:11:46 PM

@cerbera147 that is correct. My friend knew I loved orange ukpks but PE so she traded for that sharpened it to PE and then passed it my way through a trade. Gotta love her.

cerbera147 · **Reply #10 on:** November 15, 2011, 01:13:55 PM

Any love for the Urban?

Ashley · **Reply #11 on:** November 15, 2011, 02:10:47 PM

Never owned one actually. Was told its smaller then the UKPK so I'm not sure I'd dig it but then again ORANGE!

(Image removed from quote.)

I have a UKPK g10 arriving today.

I am wondering if maybe the urban would have been a better choice, just that little bit smaller and therefore friendlier looking. ...another excuse to buy another knife.

the geometry of that particular urban wharncliff (-like?) blade seemed strange to me, it looked as if the cutting edge was a bit blocked by the handle. People say how good the point is on the wharncliff, but don't mention how the rest of the blade peforms.

Seems a lot of people got a UKPK recently, my blue FRN leaf shape should be here any day now.

cerbera147 · **Reply #14 on:** November 15, 2011, 07:41:46 PM

I'm quite fond of the Squeak just don't have the cash to get one $:-\$

It would be a great pocket knife for a suit

UKPK
Urban
Squeak

Ashley · **Reply #15 on:** November 15, 2011, 07:49:46 PM

I've been wanting a squeak but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Kinda glad now I haven't seeing it compared in size to the UKPK

I spontaneously picked up a blue drop-point FRN at christmas, and it was what got me into them. I lost it though. I think the leaf shape is prettier, more typical spyderco, but my new one will be a drop point, simply because that blade shape was really nice to use when I used it before, and it was the only one I could find for a reasonable price.

I just got my UKPK today, a maroon FRN drop point. It's actually my first Spyderco, and I'm absolutely loving it already. I just need to find my torx driver and set the clip for lefty carry. I used it for most of the day today at work and wow! Just a beautiful little knife.

Jmora · **Reply #18 on:** November 15, 2011, 10:41:09 PM

cool, those are very nice and light in the pocket, and very convenient to pull out of the pocket and put away quickly.
(btw, looking around for a torx screwdriver - that's a good excuse to by a vic cybertool

)

I got mine of off EDCF for $20+$5 shipping. Also an impulse buy, it was listed for five minutes before I bought it.

I couldn't pass an offer like that and I had excellent experience with the seller. I've watched StSchmalhaus's review a number of times since then as mine is the exact same model he show in his video. I like the low riding pocketclip on them the best. I don't like to advertise I'm carrying a knife.

Already on my Christmas list.

I found my driver, and flipped the clip to its "correct" side

. The only problem I've found so far with the UKPK is that I unconsciously make a move with my thumb when I'm closing it, trying to disengage a non-existent liner lock!

It's just so ingrained. I'm sure that that will disappear with time, because this little gem is going to be with me for quite a while.

I Would Really Love To Have A UKPK Again.
FRN Or G-10, Maybe Carbon Fiber?
Giving Up The One I Did Have, And Didn't Trade To Ash(Yes I'm The Friend) For Something I Know Someone Will Love. So It's Worth It To Me.

Though I Will Have To Get Ahold Of One Once More. =]

Ashley · **Reply #22 on:** November 18, 2011, 06:46:46 AM

I'd like a blue one myself. I think a blue and orange would be sweet!

Jmora · **Reply #23 on:** November 18, 2011, 12:58:36 PM

my green g10 drop point arrived today. I'm very happy with it. Will post a few photos. Had some rust on the choils to get rid of. I'm wondering how the g10 wears, whether it will get a nice worn patina or just get dirty.

bladechick777 · **Reply #24 on:** November 18, 2011, 01:33:08 PM

Blue And Orange Would Be Awesome Ash!
And I'd Love That Green G-10 UKPK Jmora.

A few years ago there was a very nice chap on CPF making new scales for many knives. He asked what knife he should make CF scales for next. UKPK said I! Although I didn't have one at the time I new he could sell bucket loads of CF scales.
Well long story short he found a UKPK, he made the scales and sold me a complete knife.....
