Yeah, I opened this one minute earlier than the other one.

It's a Brexit thing...we needed both UK & EU threads per Forum policy.
So it goes.

I like the red FRN. Can't wait to read the reviews.

Re: SPYDERCO URBAN LIGHTWEIGHT HEINNIE EDITION
I'm interested in the reviews as well, I have the HH UKPK w/Red G10 & it's absolutely hands down the best UKPK I've ever seen, held, or owned -- I've actually got my SE UKPK Salt (LC200N) blade in it and I've all but stopped carrying any other UKPKs as a result...
Re: SPYDERCO URBAN LIGHTWEIGHT HEINNIE EDITION
Took a while till HH delivered this and then thru EU customs.
The red looks almost pink.
Usual testa di cazzo Maniago quality, LC200N UKPK looks better made in Golden, but as Spyderco Gods said they will not change manufacturer unless it gets nuked or burned down to the ground so there's minor chances of change in here.
Not a fan of the shorter blade rounded belly, if they shortened the blade maybe they should alter the other dimensions as well.
Le plastique c'est fantastique IMO is better and cheaper that that DYI sanding S90V G10 version.
S30V is more than adequate, it's a small slipjoint and I'm not gonna expect it to cut hundreds of meters of rope or chopdown trees in between sharpening, so no complaints here.
The price equals Spyderco prices plus Brexit means Brexit, mine came around 105EUR.
Is it worth that kind of money, not really, for example I payed 60EUR for a Luna Micarta Jusaya Edition with Micarta and a thinner longer N690 blade.

Re: SPYDERCO URBAN LIGHTWEIGHT HEINNIE EDITION
The rounded belly and raised tip are not ideal on a blade this short.
Not a tragedy, the knife is still fun and usable if you can stil move your hands around.
It has been shortened to make place for a new model in between 2.5" and 3", from 2.61" to 2.75" didn't make much sense from the marketing point of view. In a simulated dialogue between Spyderco Gods and one of the altar boys we've been informed that Urban will stay at 2.5" but they will make the concession of lowering the tip.
