Still waiting on mine...the suspense is killing me!

Just beautiful! Thanks for the great pics. I can't wait for mine to arrive!

Really great review, it answered lots of things for me that I've always wondered about the Vallotton. Thanks for taking the time!

Haha, exciting stuff! My resolve crumbled and I made a pre-order last week :D

From Sal today over on BB...

'We still have the black FRN version in leaf and drop point, both full flat.

Phew! :)

Yup, Sal mentioned recently over on British Blades that the UKPK lightweight is going FFG :D

Hopefully that is still the case!

Mine just arrived :) Thanks to everyone involved .

That's good info, and I really appreciate the insight. Sounds like even having a pocket clip showing could potentially raise eyebrows in certain settings. No different from NYC nowadays. Perhaps something designed for pocket carry is in order. I have a SAK Cadet and Kiwi Slipit that might need to g...

Hi mate, I live in a very urban part of England so might be able to offer some help. I carry my Ti UKPK and my G10 UKPKs often, as long as you're discreet and don't go waving them around you shouldn't have any problems. That being said, you need to think about where you will be going with it in your...

How thick is the blade and is there any jimping

Just a couple of mm. Specs here: http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=772

There is no jimping.

A little off topic But a question for you gb air owners.. How does this knife cut. From what I see in pics it looks like this knife with its narrow wharncliffe blade has potential to be an amazing slicer. Any comparisons compared to other great slicers like the caly 3, chokwe, or catcherman?? It is...

I wonder what the intended uses of this knife would be , as a pukko is a general purpose tool as far as i know, which suggests that it would be put through its paces and not be babied. +1 The blurb states that the Nilakka is ideal for 'everyday carry'. Could I use it to take apart cardboard boxes a...

Wow...I didn't realise just how large this one was going to be! I did a double take when I saw that was a military it was dwarfing!

Just grabbed a Tan H1 Ladybug...love it :) http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k619/Crabbacus1/TanFRNLadybug.jpg My tan H1 with the missus' serrated yellow H1: http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k619/Crabbacus1/YellowTanCompare.jpg Time to get to work on a tan lanyard! http://i1118.photobucket.com/...

Yep, could just need breaking in as my Manix 2 lightweight absolutely flies out, a fair bit faster than my G10 version.

Fantastic job, makes me want a Pingo too!

love the pics, especially the mirror reprofile. wish i could do that!! will need to lookup forcing patina; mine's browning at the spyderhole after a week of light carry. wonderful design; fullsized Bradleys now on my wishlist too Hi mate, the mirror reprofile isn't too tricky. I used a DC4 diamond ...

And what is that lock keeping secure? This lovely slice of CPM-M4 that's what: https://i.imgur.com/gP7lDuJ.jpg As with all the Spydies I've had out of Taichung, the blade is fantastic with a lovely even grind. It's a Wharncliffe style shape with a nicely done swedge. The one and only thing I'd like ...

Here are some size comparisons with well known Spydies...

Hello all, I was very eager to get my hands on this little guy as I'm such a big lover of the original Spyderco Gayle Bradley. I think it's quite a hard thing to sit on this side of the Atlantic, biting your nails as you watch all those shiny new Spyderco boxes being opened in the States! :) Well mi...
