Re: Appeal to bring back the stunning Titanium UK Pocket Knife

I bought one of the TI UKP's second hand and loved it. then I lost it. If you brought it back with S30v, S35vn, s90v or s110v or any other relatively premium steel I would buy several of them. I bought three of the Heinnie edition UKPKs last year, I would at the very least match that for the Ti ...

The Italy knives are awesome; cheap(in the scheme of high-end prod knives) with great steel and well put together. I've just got my first Taiwanese ...

I don't disagree, I don't use knives casually, and no-one should. It's probably just a psychological thing. That said the pingo's choil is a bit weak also, so if you were to use the point for anything (again ...

Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK

I would love it to be a maniago made knife as well. apart from the roadie I think I have a full set, including the BB forum Urban and the Edgematters Pingo (which hasn't arrived yet, but I have paid for).

Re: Anti-gun nonsense

Sure, but if they don't have an automatic (or semi) rifle, then the amount of damage someone can do is limited. After the Dunblane massacre in the UK (essentially half a Sandy Hook) we banned most people from owning guns. Now can you point to a gun massacre in the UK since then? or in fact any ...

Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK

Is there a date on the Metropolitan yet? (blade size of 2.75", between the UKPK and the Urban iirc)? A new UKPK in premium steel will be a definite purchase for me in either case, but I am excited for a new model too.
