Mine appears to be in Los Angeles as of Friday, now it treks to the Rocky Mountains.

Did you gents have to sign for yours? I'll likely not be home.
Thanks for kind words. Since order was confirmed on Monday, 7 day window will be this Monday , so it appears to be to be in line with everyone.My concerns are no tracking information since Langley both UK mail and USPS say same thing for last four days .

USPS tracking system has been garbage the last week or so for me. During this time the tracking info hasn't updated until it reaches the destination sorting facility.

Thanks for info at least I know I’m not the only one having this problem. Much appreciated. MG2

Awesome slipit. Perfect fit and finish, even cutting bevels, love it. That stretch-esque blade shape started to grow on me. Now we need a ''salty'' one.

Mine departed the UK and arrived in the US quickly but then spent 7 days at USPS’s Chicago ISC with no tracking update. Just today it appears to be on the move again. 12 days in transit so far, not that I’m worried.

Mine left the UK last Tuesday and arrived in Spain the following day. Then, two days of customs paperwork (thanks to Brexit ;)) plus the weekend (Post Office closed) so I finally got it today.

98,63 euros (or USD as the rate of exchange now is roughly 1:1) charged by HH plus 30,78 Euros (or USD) for VAT, custom duties and "processing fees" :cussing .

This is my third UKPK. I already have the blue G-10/S110V and the black FRN/BD1N. I prefer the drop point so this little red devil is just perfect in all regards. By the way, it is the sharpest Spyderco (out the box) that I got.

This version is just a must!

Mine arrived today, other than a broken backlock it is a perfect sample. Ha Ha ... !!!!

Glad I got this as I'v been a fan of the UKPK for a few years now, collection now at 5.

Fits my hand so well I'll call it perfect, and the g10 is also perfect grippy, disappears in my pocket.

Will confess one bevel is a slight hair less in height than the other side from mid belly to the tip ... otherwise perfect.

Very pleased HH/Spyderco, good job!

No signature here required. It was left in the mailbox on the street.

The email said something about tracked and signature though

That's weird. I payed 89,20 £ for the knife and 10,00 £ for the shipping. That was in total about 115€. I am located in Germany.

Absolutely, because the price of the knife and the cost of the shipment (to European countries) in Sterling Pounds should be the same in both cases and that's not the case at all.

I payed 74,96 £ for the knife, 8,33 £ for the shipping and 1,67 £ for the UK VAT. That was in total 84,96 £. You paid, however, 89,20 £.

In addition, it appears that the German Customs did not charge you with Customs duties and VAT (as they should have done as your knife was entering the Community Customs Territory from a third country like mine).

As you said, weird. Really weird

We love you guys. Anytime you decide to come back you are most welcome :smlling-eyes

But let's not get carried away on a topic that does not really fit the goals of this forum. Mine arrived just days ago and the knife is literally perfect - great job on this one!

I'm glad i held out for the drop point and that HH commissioned it!

Mine arrived while i was out of town and i'm just getting to spend some time with it now. It is indeed nicely executed by the Golden cutlers.

My sample has an AV (January 2022) date code. Are we seeing any other date codes on these?
