Take your pick. I like both, but drop point more.

Obviously both is ideal cause then we can all choose the one we want most, or take both but my preference is drop point.

Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
I guess both would be the obvious option to pick, however if there can be only one i'd prefer a leaf shaped blade.
Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
FFG Sheepsfoot like on the UKPK Rescue?? but PE I've got plenty of leaf and drop points but if'n I had to choose for this one a drop point would be it.

Hi Folks!
Another vote for the Leaf Blade shape here. :spyder:

Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
The recent USN Ladyhawk came as half SE and half PE so I do not see why this run (if it were to happen) could not come as both a drop point and a leaf. I voted drop point because I already have a couple of Caly3s and to me this would be a way to have a Caly3 handle with a stretch blade which would add much more variety to my rotation.
Where is the wharncliffe option? Like the wharncliffe Urban.

Leaf is 'the' UKPK blade shape for my money

Well, I hope it's both. I really wanted drop point dark blue S110V.

Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
Now I'm worried, what if it is both. I don't really NEED two of them. :eek:

Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
I voted for drop point blade, but have to say wharncliffe blade would be an interesting option.

Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
I hope everyone who says Wharncliffe but if not Drop realizes that Leaf is basically Wharncliffe with a slight belly. So you should say Wharncliffe or Leaf. Leaf>Drop all day long and twice on Sunday
Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
Speaking just for myself I prefer the Drop because there's less blade sticking out when it's folded. I'm not sure the difference in edge curvature is that significant between the current Drop and Leaf, although I'm just comparing pictures because I only have Drop in the the flesh.

Re: UKPK sprint blade shape poll
A wharncliffe with a belly isn't a wharncliffe. While I do not own a UKPK i have handled one and it is basically a non locking Caly3 which I have a couple of and I do not consider the edge even close enough to be called wharncliffish. The Kershaw Leek is Wharncliffish and the R model is a little wharncliffish but the ukpk/Caly3 is not in my opinion even close and has considerable belly.twinboysdad wrote:I hope everyone who says Wharncliffe but if not Drop realizes that Leaf is basically Wharncliffe with a slight belly.

Also, what about a combo edge sheepsfoot? That would be a big hit. :cool: :p
