Coyote Urban/UKPK

[Doc Dan]

We already did a thread on asking for an Urban Salt in LC200N. I think that would be interesting.

[Peter1960]

Maybe we could even suggest Sal and the crew add a drop point Urban to the line up.....

A drop point coyote brown FRN Urban in a nice steel would be pretty much 'heaven sent' for an Englishman such as me living with restrictive carry laws :rolleyes: but loving good cutlery :cool: .

What say you all?

I say YES, YES, YES and am on your side. :p

[SpyderScout]

I didnt bother to check but if the Urban can be had in the right color (not black), you can just RIT dye the handles.

Somebody recently posted some very nice COYOTE BROWN dyed handles on a Spyderco. Looked great.

It would go straight to the top of my Christmas list.... Who's with me?

I see the Urban and UKPK as present and future Euro carry classics comparable to how the the Delica, Endura and Para 2 are in the US; and having seen the handsome coyote/earth brown FRN used on the Endura and Delica, I think it's time we petitioned (begged) Sal to give the Urban and UKPK the dusky treatment. Personally I love earthy colours and feel the brown scales look characterful and friendly as well as rugged and practical.

Not sure what are the logistics of getting the dark brown colourant to the Maniago factory but I think a sprint run in brown (in N690 or any other decent steel) would surely make an excellent inexpensive edition to the Iconic black of the standard, the dark green of the BB limited edition, and the grey of the K390 sprint run of the Urban. Even less of an issue for UKPK at the golden factory...

No more Tonka toy blues and blaze orange for me; I want mine looking like it's meant to get dirty and be used rather then played with.

Am I alone in this yen for dark earth; or are there fellow tough mudders out there?

That's exactly my point :) Coyote brown looks great :D

A Golden UKPK in coyote with a decent steel would definately have a place in my collection, but a coyote Urban would get my undying affection; and a drop point version would be in my pocket as I'm placed in my casket.

Don't get me wrong, I'd happily carry a leaf Urban into the hereafter, but I had so much love for the drop point design on the UKPK I'd be blown away to see an Urban version.

So..... A coyote brown drop point Urban in RWL steel as the ultimate affordable* meta-urban carry knife (see what I did there).

Please discuss:

• A CB UKPK in ....CPM4?

• A CB Urban in.... Sleipner?

• A CB DP Urban in ....RWL?

Just throwing it out there :D :spyder:

(I would love us to reach the critical mass needed to persuade Sal to go for any of them)

*(by which I mean I'll only cry for a couple of days if I lose one before shrugging it off and getting a new one. The PITS is a great non-locker but I'd cry for a month if I had to stump up for another)

Yes, the coyote brown handles rock.
Ive been tempted by a Endura 4 w coyote brown handles.

'Your undying affection' - thats hardcore fandom right there :D

'Urban drop point version' - then how about a Pingo w coyote handles?



Pits - yeah, getting hard to come by, I would imagine (them being discoed and all). A nice knife.

[UrbanMoose]

I'm all for a Pingo in coyote. And the Roadie, DKPK and Squeak too.

A Coyote brown suite of 'restricted carry zone' friendly knives would be wonderful. I personally think the Urban is the best balanced of the Slipits but can see the attraction of the other Slipits too.

Could call it the 'Earth walker collection' or something similar?

[UrbanMoose]

Bit of a thread bump here..

I learn there may be a salt series UKPK in the offing, which sounds like a cool idea; but seeing as there are a couple of Byrd models coming out in brown FRN I was wondering if having seen them any of you guys would be interested in registering interest in there being a Urban or UKPK in the same. I know some of us would really like a slipit in CB. We can't let this thread die surely?

[UrbanMoose]

Anyone else got any thoughts they'd care to share on the idea of a brown handled Urban or UKPK?

[Jazz]

Coyote brown just looks real nice with shiny hardware.

[Termite Toothpick]

Yes please!

[sal]

We're looking into it.

We're looking into it.

Oh my God,oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God :D :D :D :D :D

[UrbanMoose]

Sorry Sal I got a bit over excited. Thank you for giving this your consideration..

[steelcity16]

Make a locking drop point UKPK version and I'm in for a few!

[UrbanMoose]

Anyone else still excited that Sal is thinking about producing a brown Urban?

[attila]

Anyone else still excited that Sal is thinking about producing a brown Urban?

Yup, and I'd like it to be in CTS XHP.

[Liquid Cobra]

Anyone else still excited that Sal is thinking about producing a brown Urban?

I was hoping he was thinking UKPK

[UrbanMoose]

Well I am too. But hope he gives the Urban the dark earth treatment first

[markg]

I'd be in. Honestly I'd love to see another run in G-10. Had a G-10 UKPK and sold it. Super regret that. If you never had one in G-10 you have no idea what you are missing. They could do a special run in coyote G-10, make like 3 and I will take them all...

But I would still be down with a regular one in the color too.

[UrbanMoose]

I'd also love to see a new G10 Urban and UKPK in brown. If they ever get made, I'll be all over them like white on rice.
I had a G10 UKPK and loved it. Biggest regret of my knife collecting history was selling my Drop Point Foliage Green UKPK. Another in Coyote Brown would be like Christmas come early :)
