Re: Let’s see your Urbans
I just noticed that the blade profile is slightly different on my K390 and AEB-L Urbans. The thumb ramp is every so slightly more vertical and rearward on the AEB-L than on the K390, which is a bit more relaxed. It is minuscule, but it can be felt when holding them.

I switched the blade to the orange handles because that's the first version of the Urban I saw; the prototype was done like that.

This is my first Italian Spyderco and the fit and finish is amazing. They actually polished the inside of the lock bar/backspacer.

Re: Let’s see your Urbans
I’m obsessed with the Urban! It’s such a great knife to ride clipless in the bottom of your pocket.
If they were to do an Olive Green FRN that matches the Roadie I would say go with M390 because it’s already in Europe, just like all the other steels they use. Make it a Wharncliffe and a Production Model and call it a day!
Still waiting on a CF/s90v or 52100 Urban or UKPK!
Here’s mine, I went back to the FRN recently.
