The Urban Light Weight, in this case K390, is the best overall pocket knife ever. It carries light and easy. It is easy to live with and use everyday. It can be opened with one hand. It has superb steel. It slices like a surgical laser. What more could be asked?
I hope we see more Urban versions, but I also hope they fix the issues that cropped up last time.
Hey Doc, why don't we push for a CQI Urban ?! Maybe Sal is willing to solve that pivot issue ?

Regarding the poster that carries no matter what... Carry laws and whether one is “bad” by breaking them is an interesting concept for me. The idea that some laws don’t truly define criminality has some legal basis. "crime malum in se" is an act that is inherently criminal; whereas a "crime malum prohibitum is more about breaking rules that have been applied by those in power that may reflect contemporary concerns.
Are you a criminal if you rob a store? Most definitely. But if you speed sometimes of carry a pocketknife with a 4” blade? I think not.

Oops. Double post
Re: The best pocket knife ever
Nice knife Doc, but the best pocket knife ever is the Para 3. Similar ergs as the Urban and you got the steel right but I need something a little beefier.
I didn’t see it coming either. I purchased my first one because of the DLC M4. I haven’t carried another model since. The K390 version is getting all the carry these days.

I also carry the K390 Para 3 pretty much every day.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
Does the Para 3 have more belly than a delica, or is it just the way the blade drops?

My first Para 3, in Rex 45, is still in it’s delivery box in my porch, under 24 hr quarantine.....
Re: The best pocket knife ever
I am pretty sure the Para 3 will have more belly
(at least than the WHARNIE Delica... just kidding..)

Re: The best pocket knife ever
Only issue with mine is that it has the stiffest backspring I've ever seen in a non-rusted shut slipjoint. It's actually difficult to close, especially from the half-stop.kennethsime wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:42 pmHave you tried the AEB-L? And also, what's the "issue with Mangiano" ?

Re: The best pocket knife ever
Yeah I know what you mean. I used to have a Burgundy Jess Horn ( 2005-2006 era) which had a ZDP-189 blade and it was one of the biggest regrets of all the knives I've traded over the years.Sumdumguy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 5:55 amEh, we'll have to agree to disagree, I prefer the Baby Horn as a pocket knife. The only advantage a slippie has, is legality in some places.
I don't pay attention to knife laws to begin with, so legality is a moot point for me. Same with guns, I carry one regardless of location or restrictions and everyone around me is safer for it.
(12vs6 rule)
Really though, the only slippies I'm interested in are a UKPK Salt(G10) and the PITS. I have had two of the latter, but they always seem to find a way out.
If they made a Jess Horn model in a larger scale with a supersteel blade I would jump on it.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
I think the DF2 is the best pocketknife ever IMO. I will trade my pm2s for more dragonflies.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
I’m with you on loving the DF. I own eight or nine and will likely get more. Like we said in a thread last year, they are like popcorn. You can’t have only one.GiftedMisfit wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 10:31 pmI think the DF2 is the best pocketknife ever IMO. I will trade my pm2s for more dragonflies.
Which one is your favorite? I have Frn and Nishijin, but my favorite is my G10.
The Urban is a different animal. It is a slip joint and is a bit larger.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
I love the g10 one. Mine was stolen unfortunately. My favorite though is the pakka wood model. I've never owned one but would love to. I'd trade 2! Pm2s for it lol
