Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

I keep thinking that it couldn’t cost more than a para 3 sprint, but maybe more like the wolfspyder.

Re: G10 UKPK officially makes a return! Heinnie Haynes Exclusive
A LOT of retailers need a maximum allowable price restriction. Here, I often see Spyderco going for three times the US full retail price, and they buy them at wholesale.
I like this UKPK. It might tempt me to try one. I have always loved the design, but did not like the spring. I love the Urban LW. If the UKPK had been more like a traditional folder in tension, I would have bought several. However, the ones I tried (a few years ago, now) at the shop were weak and mushy. I have heard that this has changed, but no one here has them in stock for me to try.

Can't wait. One of the best knives ever produced by Spyderco. Love the UKPK.
Couldn't agree more. A++
Awesome. Thanks Sal!

As an exclusive, they "own" the design as long as they keep making them. They will keep making them as long as you keep purchasing them.
I would also like to applaud the Golden Knife-Makers for the execution of this model. It's a beautiful piece. I'm carrying one today. I'll be cutting sushi with it tonight. :)
Sorry for not giving more information. I'll leave that to Heinnie Haynes.

Re: G10 UKPK officially makes a return! Heinnie Haynes Exclusive
Do you guys in Europe buy from Lamnia?
I only ask this because I've actually bought knives from them (including currency conversion and shipping back to the USA) and had them come out _cheaper_ than USA based retailers.

As the UK market never has seen the types of discounts you enjoy in the US, MAP made no difference.
Indeed, for a long while I could accurately predict the price in the UK by replacing the $ at the front of the MSRP with a £.
It is what is: or rather, it was.

Re: G10 UKPK officially makes a return! Heinnie Haynes Exclusive
I bought my super blue stretch from lamnia, very good company.
As you are in the US and outside the EU, you are exempt from sales tax. In Finland where Lamnia are based that would be 24%.
For those of you in North America looking to buy this knife, I suggest ordering by email. Make sure to tell them you are in the US and ask them to deduct the 20% UK VAT. You should only be paying for the knife + shipping.

Re: G10 UKPK officially makes a return! Heinnie Haynes Exclusive
They are screwed, but are the pivots D shaped? I have one Urban that simply refuses to be taken apart because of a free spinning pivot, but to be honest I haven't had much luck in that department when it comes to Spyderco knives made in Italy.
My hope is, since this one comes from Golden, that maybe the screws will be a bit more cooperative compared to the Maniago ones.

Re: G10 UKPK officially makes a return! Heinnie Haynes Exclusive
Assuming the construction is the same, I'd venture to guess that it would be a lot harder to strip out g-10 than frn. Fwiw, I've disassembled many frn Urbans and UKPKs and never stripped anything.
:spyder:
Re: G10 UKPK officially makes a return! Heinnie Haynes Exclusive
I agree with demoncase, Heinnie's prices exploded a couple of years ago so I stopped buying from them...
This looks nice but if it's gonna cost 200£ I don't think I'll be interested...

I’ve been quoted £79.95 by HH on my pre-order, which compares favourably with the £67.95 for the BD1N/FRN version, methinks.

Just came here to say the same thing. That’s $105 USD (approx). Very nice price indeed!
