I've had one on pre-order since they were revealed. Hopefully, this means that they are coming soon!

Thanks for sharing Sharp Guy! I too am hoping to grab a UKPK Salt. I really dig the idea of the 2/3 leaf spring constitution. Had no idea.

Also big congrats to yablanowitz! What an honor and great time that must’ve been! Wow!

Thanks guys. It was one of those things that you wake up Monday morning to go to work and think "Did that really happen?!"

It was an honor and a great pleasure, to put it mildly.

Nice work Yablanowitz!

I still have trouble explaining to people why I would like to make a pilgrimage to see Yablanowitz's door in person. Now, my knife collecting consciousness is blown. So much dedication. So many Spydercos.

Thanks for getting it out there.

I didn't realize the back metal was cut short for drainage on this particular release ... I have plenty of UKPK but with this little tweak I'll have to check it out!

Excellent job collecting all Police models! Looks like you had two SpyderPacs of knives. The front one seems to have 30 Police models. No duplicates? SpydieWiki only lists 26 Police models. Perhaps SpydieWiki is incomplete.
