UK Penknife billboarding?

#1

Post by ArtyTheSmarty »

Good day, folks,

Up here in Canada our major retailers haven't released the new version of the UK Penknife (green handle, LC200n).

I was curious to know if the clip side will have the typical LC200n billboarding that we have seen on the US made UKPK's or if we will see Sal's mark? My preference would be like the Japanese LC200n blades that have the maker's mark rather than the steel name/type.

Thanks for any info,

-Art

Page 1 of the reveal volume 10 shows the knife with the lc200n logo on the clip side.

Kinda hard to see, but it's there. Same as the yellow.

Does anyone know when these are due, and will they make it to UK shores?

I don't "need" another UKPK or another knife period but I may have to get one of these

I was thinking I may need one of these as well, don't have a UKPK yet. Was also thinking just yesterday that it would be a neat surprise July 4th drop, being that it's an established model.

I tend to like the billboarding, though. Much like the Spyderco namesake, it reminds me of sports cars billboarding their model numbers or engine, litres, etc. in fast italics, seems like it fits with the original intent.

The UKPK is one I’ve been wanting to try, but not really sure I need. Obviously a situation that pushes it pretty far down on my priority list.
The news that they’re moving to green handles for the salts made me scan the inventory of my regular suppliers, as I prefer the yellow.
Looks like I missed that boat. Not a big deal, but preferences are hard to ignore.
OTH, I noticed that Lamnia lists the green handled salt to be 2mm longer. I don’t expect that to be anything but a conversion error or human glitch, but if true - such a stimulation of my blade to handle ratio ocd would help me overcome missing out on the yellow handled version.

I generally dislike engraving on blades but I like the H1 and LC200N logos, I was kinda disappointed that the Caribbean and other LC200N knives didn't have the logo on the front like H1 knives are, or at least that the Caribbean didn't get one on the back.
