Yep, choice is the issue over here all right.... I have a hankering for a UKPK now as I'm getting in to the OH thing. A cheaper used one would be fine as it's going to be a user.

There just isn't a similar thing thats cheaper out there is there?! $:-\$

There is this http://www.heinnie.com/ntae5m38043/Knives/B%C3%B6ker/Boker-Buddy/p-92-116-3578/

But even that's quite expensive given the knife's spec $:-\$

It'll be well made though

Very reasonably priced and UK legal:

Don't have an Edgie yet, but have read some good reviews by people who carry it as a work knife / beater knife.

Then of course there is this:

Micky d agreed to buy this knife and write a review for MTO, but he seems to be falling behind in his duties. ;>

I'm tempted to have a play with the Edgie

I can't imagine second hand UKPKs are common. I don't use mine as often as used to but I've no intentions of parting with such a good UK legal carry knife and I expect there are many of a similar mindset. You might have to save up your pennies $:-\$

They were going for around 80ish USD in the states!
I think those new Urban's are around that price currently

nuphoria · **Reply #306 on:** July 07, 2009, 12:32:59 PM

Those are all good suggestions chaps but also not lefty friendly... that's my problem, most knives do not have the option of switching the clip over. This is why I have kinda settled on getting a UKPK $:-\$

They come up used now and again so I'll just have to keep hanging out for that I think

I played with Nick's edgie and for the cash I was quite impressed.

I was hoping heinnies would do this and now they have http://heinnie.com/vmg9hu48831/Knives/-UK-Legal-Carry/c-1-92-641/ All the legal carry knives in one section.

Great.

About time! Makes it easier than trawling through everything or searching for "legal" etc

I noticed that too, good idea. They need a Tac Folder section too though, eh Ben??

No they don't! At least mixing them all up slows me seeing them a tad. Could be very dangerous having a section devoted to them.

Erm yes, that legal section is in serious danger of scuppering my finances!

Did you see the Silver Stag? Actually I saw quite a few interesting items, all at around twice what I'd pay. I've been so spoiled by SAKs

Not sure what I think about the Silver Stag.

Neil · **Reply #315 on:** July 09, 2009, 02:47:00 PM

That's fair enough

I thought it was a bit quirky but in a nice way. I'd never use one, look good on the shelf though

At least Heinnie's listen to there emails then

nuphoria · **Reply #318 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:59:52 PM

Yes, good on 'em

The Stag doesn't so it for me despite having a lovely blade. The Citadel however, is real purty

John · **Reply #319 on:** July 13, 2009, 10:57:30 PM

I think I like the urban and UKPK how to decide?, they look the same and same price

And no I can't afford both

Benner · **Reply #320 on:** July 13, 2009, 10:59:23 PM

I personally feel that the Urban is a bit more sheeple friendly and would attract less unwanted attention, so would be inclined to go with that rather than the UKPK I think.
