Sadly not legal everywhere... in my neighbor country Germany they are not allowed to carry any knife that is both locking and can be opened with one hand... not even a Ladybug. Crazy...

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
We need to get behind ONE knife, not all over the map. I think it should be a Golden made knife, personally. Also, I think the UKPK in G10 and a steel upgrade like Heinnie Haynes has, would be a good choice, because as you all can see, those in Europe would be able to proudly carry them (except Denmark). The Urban was a thought, but its spring is too stiff and it is not Golden made.
The Lil Native is another thought, but many members could not carry it legally. I could be happy with this choice, anyway.
The Military is a great knife but it is too big and too expensive, and is illegal in many places. It does not matter that it is legal where you live, it is not for many people.
The Native 5 has been done ad nauseum.
Let's focus on realistic knives and get down to one knife and then worry about steel and color.

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
I vote for a slipjoint, or a lockback or a compression lock. G10 or Micarta for scales, and for the steel, if stainless I think about spy27 and we all know why, in non stainless, I would like a 52100 to try it. But anyway, I think the good choice for a large public from here is th spy27 steel.
I will follow.
Have all a nice day.

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
SPY27 is an interesting steel, but it's my guess (and maybe even a stated fact for all I know) that SPY27 will be a pretty standard offering for many models given enough time. So a forum knife in SPY27 might be special in 2021, but in a few years it might be just the handle material or color that separates it from the base model...
It doesn't take away from the fact that it would still be a nice knife in a good steel, so it's not a big deal, just something to take into consideration.

That blows man, They arnt legal where I live in Australia either, which is overkill.
That is unless you are carrying it whilst doing a specific task like fishing, camping, work, hiking etc.
I live very close to the water so ive usually always got an excuse :) not that ive ever been asked.

Being new to the forum means you may have more sense and/or be taking this more seriously than some of the jaded veterans.
Lol, im loving the knives and community, definitely fallen down the hole mate.
Spyderco is giving me a great appreciation for knives, thanks to the people who make it possible at Spyderco and thanks to the members of this community who im learning a lot from.
Re: 2021 Forum knife?
I usually don't seriously participate in things like this because I can never make up my mind. I just wait for someone to decide what it'll be and buy it if it's something I like. The UKPK is certainly a model I can support and one I'd likely buyDoc Dan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 1:01 amWe need to get behind ONE knife, not all over the map.

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
What we need is a new knife, a SPYPK :p

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
I wonder what hapened with the Metropolitan project. A slipit in between the SPYdk and UKPK. Maybe Sal will chime in. All I want is to be ground very thin behind the edge. Just like the Urban. My Urbans are < 0.017” bte. In Golden they ground their blades quite thick behind the edge and the UKPK is no exception. I never understood why ...

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
UKPK is the ideal choice. I'd like to see one in Maxamet or K390, but LC200N, Spy27...there are lots of good options.
Re: 2021 Forum knife?
I can get behind a UKPK as long as it is in G10 and the steel is better than the stock version. I guess it would be cheaper compared to the Paramilitary series even with upgraded steel.

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
So how about a UKPK in Cobalt G10/Micarta with a Wharncliffe SPY27 blade?

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
OK that settles it!! if the C-60 Ayoob Sprint Run is in SPY-27 then it will be a done deal!!. How could anyone object to that??? :D
Or maybe a newer edition Military model with the newest Supersteel blade. You couldn't lose either way IMO.

I'm just going to have agree again (except for the Lil Native) with DD.

What are your thoughts on any knife or locking /non locking system but with S90V with 10 thousandths BTE FFG and an added special logo?

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
I would like a true gentleperson's knife. A slip joint, with black micarta scales and brushed nickle (or aluminum for weight) bolsters and an M390 blade. If it could be worked, take down would be cool, but comfortable with pinned/riveted as well. I don't know if the bolsters would work/look right with screw-through design.
I think the UKPK could look really good with this treatment.
Cheers

Re: 2021 Forum knife?
Loads of brilliant suggestions. Probably only gonna have a chance if we're on one knife though.
UKPK -seems to be a good fit
G10 - also seems to be mentioned a fair bit
COBALT - definitely seen this more than most other colours.
SPY27 - same thing here.
Only thing I'd add in is blade shape, DROP POINT rather than leaf. (I already have the S110v) and something different would be nice.
We need a poll
