UKPK 3.5?

#1

Post by Doc Dan »

Since the UKPK is basically a Caly3 and that was lengthened to a Caly 3.5, doesn’t it seem logical to have a UKPK 3.5?

Hasn’t there been discussions about a 3.5” non locker for Canada?

I would buy one but it wouldn’t be “legal-carry-without-plausible-good-reason” here in the UK.

I wonder what it’ll be like?

I have a proto of a 3.5" blade UK with a full flat leaf blade.

We're looking into possible production.

Wahoo! Golden made, I hope.

I’m not limited to only non locking knives, but over here anything is illegal if the usually less than honest cop says so. Non locking is viewed as less threatening...but not always. Of course I’ve got lots of Spydercos that I carry anyway, but the Spyderco slipjoint is just so handy.

I'll get one. No matter what steel. Germany permits carrying of non-locking knives only. Just like the Doc I carry locking folders anyway (have been strip searched by the police only once in my life so far, and plan not to have this happen again), but I also always carry at least one non-locking spydie. The biggest two are the Urban and the UKPK. More is better, bigger is better. WinWin. ;)

Call the new bigger one PKL. I think it's obvious what the L stands for. :)

Micha, neighbour-country-fellowman :) :

Aren´t you over there allowed to carry LOCKING folders, but just if they can´t be opened one handed by any means?

(Just a therotical question though, cause tbh when I happen to cross the border to Germany I am not bothered by still carrying my in Austria perfectly legal large locking Spydie... :rolleyes: )
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)

One handed opening AND locking the blade in one knife - nono. Your old school swiss army knife is fine. As is the UKPK, Pingo, Urban,... Those only have one of the two nonos.

Possession is allowed, we're just not allowed to carry locking assisted opening folders. Balisongs and OTF knives are completely illegal.
