Hi rangefinder, I'm with you on the cruwear!

I was very lucky when I last visited the UK to pick up a HH Drop Point

Hi all,

I feel that the UKPK DP is one of the best slipjoint knife designs ever (and was my first Spyderco) does anyone else wish that they could have a salt (magnacut), S110v or Spy27 drop point UKPK?

My Para 3 beater today!

Dear Jim: It's not a matter of policy or choice, it comes down to our ability to verify credentials. Spyderco uses a third-party vendor, ID.me, to verify eligible OpFocus applicants. The reason is that they have access to all the U.S. databases of eligible personnel and have the mechanism to verify...

My palm width is 4-4.5" and the para3 LW is my usual edc because I find it the best grip size for the 3" blade. I also find it useful and easy to open wearing my Mbike gloves. I always use it with the choil.

Northern Munkey...
If you look at the proro image, and measure the blade length of 2.5 inches against the scales, it might be just a tad under the NZ legal requirement?

Kia ora Stuart, fingers crossed as it would be a great travel companion (I really like this knife)

Sorry if this has already been answered, just asking for handle length, as here in NZ for carry on luggage and in city's the rule is a handle of no more than 95mm (3.7"). It would be an ideal edc for me here if it fits within this rule. I carry a lil' native for this purpose.

Big vote from me for the G10 FG VG10, my fave dragonfly. So good it feels perfect in the hand, solid lock up and nice edc steel.

20221212_174006.jpg I had to put a wire clip on after catching my knife on a bench and destroyed the screw holes. Lucky I had a wire clip and bolt from a broken dragonfly 2. A little cutting and I'm quite pleased with the result ( it is my work knife so not perfect) now I wish all G10 meadowlark's ...

I normally look for the pivot, then carefully using a punch with the same (ish) diameter tap the pin carefully against a smooth steel surface, I lubricate the joint first. I do this gently on both sides til tightened enough. If the pin is proud of the handle I flat back using 800+ grit wet and dry t...

My DP UKPK saber grind BD1, first knife my wife bought for me & my first spydie.......now building my collection. They are way too well designed not to carry.

My two girls, Tink (white n black) Munkey (black n white).
Always had dogs so these are my first felines, although Munkey acts like a pooch more than a cat![ATTACH]22104[/ATTACH][ATTACH]22105[/ATTACH][ATTACH]22106[/ATTACH]

Funny you should suggest the DF, I was looking at the frn DF2 for discreet carry round town

Having had a UKPK dp sabre for a little while I found the need for a locker, so I got a meadowlark 2 frn but hated the build quality ( lots of movement in lock up/vertical play). So I bought a delica wave.....WOW is all I can say great steel and ergos(thought I would miss a choil) will be a fave edc...

If it didnt have to lock I could highly recommend the UKPK, Excellent ergo's, is the dragonfly 2 a no go due to the strength of the spring?

What format files do you produce? I have access to a Zund cutter with router.
Love the delica prototype pics. If you make them for sale I would be interested.

Have you ever done any for a Delica? If so I would be happy to give some a test drive.

Awesome, awesome work
