I hope the blade length remains the current 2.6" and not 2.5" as was originally planned. Right now it hits the sweet spot of 2.6 to 2.8 of my preferred slipjoint pocket knife blade length, just barely.
Hey Doc,
I think the plan is to leave the Urban at 2.6" and not move forward with the 2.75" Metropolitan due to feedback to leave the Urban as-is. But based on what you wrote, the Metro may be even more to your liking?
Here is the most recent post from Sal on the topic that I can recall:

Hi Jazz,
The Metropolitan was a 2.75" Slippie that was to use the DKPK handle, but we ran into some sizing problems in that the Urban, which was supposed to be 2.5" ended up 2.6" which was too close to the 2.75 Metropolitan. So we' have to reduce the Urban to 2.5" before we can make a 2.75" Metropolitan. But in discussion here, there was push back to making the Urban 2.5".

And here's a pic that shows the Spy DK/Metro scales with the Urban and UKPK:
I can't say that I really
need a 2.75" slippie along with the other two, but I like the idea. Seems like sort of a waste to not do something with the molds.
A little off-topic for this thread, but a flash batch or straight-to-sprint Metro might be a cool way to use the molds and keep the Urban at 2.6". I bet a brg Metro in Elmax or dark blue/M390 would sell like hotcakes, especially if they were "limited." :D
