Ivory G10 heavily in the lead here. Another day left though.

In other news... the penultimate, and maybe even final poll for this knife is here.

Please go and vote:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=87096

Please read the guide. You get 3 choices in the hope that this spreads the votes out. No backsies.

Remember this is a small knife, so bear that in mind when deciding.

Choose wisely.
Yea, ivory G10 really started pulling ahead! Fine by me! :)

To me, the important part of the handle is that it have a metal backspacer like on the HH G10 UKPK.

Thank you Superfool. You have both patience and persistence!
I just voted for ivory g10 - and as of now, it looks like the people commited to buying a g10 version is 28. I know this doesn't include a lot of people on the British forums - but it puts in perspective how difficult these small passion projects are. Just for that, I will buy a couple :D .

If it’s going to be G10 can it at least be Burl G10, maybe in White/Ivory, Ivory/Tan or all 3?

How do these things work? Are they released to forum dwellers first?

What I’m basically saying is will I miss out being in the UK!?

....also, it’s not a deal breaker for me but will the handles be contoured in anyway? I like things like this maybe just a little more subtle, but I’m easy either way :-)

It’s okay, I’ll just sit back and see what unfolds.

I appreciate the effort you’ve put in with this though, thanks a lot! It’s so frustrating at times seeing the limitations of the UKPK options - so well done you 👍🏻

Non contoured would be cheaper, and if they're g-10 they should be fairly easy to replace/upgrade to customize the knife.
