What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

My new UKPK drop point is in rotation!

BKKP3021.JPG!.JPG

One does not see these drop point variants of the UKPK a lot here it seems - at very first glance I was like "how on earth did he shrink his Stretch 1 and give it a wire clip?"

I like that blade shape btw!

+1 on the blade shape. Recently picked up the UKPK MagnaCut. Would have preferred it as a drop point instead of leaf for PE. Prefer leaf for serrated blade, tho.

I plan on trying a serrated in leaf shape for my first serrated knife. Either the Chaparral or the Leafjumper if I find one (Leafjumper) discounted.

That toolbox is packing a punch!

Great pic, Nick!

Thanks, Gernot!

Your shots never disappoint!

Well deserved, just looked at the pic again: Truly a calendar shot indeed.

Nice pic!

And I really love the 4V Goddard... but something quite astonishing and sad happened to the edge of mine (100% user error) - guess I'll do a dedicated post about this.

Thank you, Gernot.

I'm interested to know what happened to your Goddard. I hope it isn't anything major.

You can´t go wrong with the Leadjumper SE if you want to experience what serrations are all about (tried that model myself).

And from all I hear this is also true for the Chap SE: One of my most anticipated knives (actually since 2020, when there weren´t even rumors that a Chap with teeth would ever exist), can´t wait till it will become available here in Europe.

Third recommendation for trying SE, as always: VG10 Endela SE. Great performing teeth too.

In short: I accidentally left some tick repellent on the (even coated!) blade - you won´t believe what this did to the 4V blade and edge! Nasty stuff, I can tell you!

I´ll do a dedicated post with pics when I have time!

Beautiful Gernot

Thanks, Salty!

Lately it would actually be hard to NOT make pics of Spydies on a mountain high above the cloud layer... cause this is where I try to be as much as possible this time of year.

So: Nothing new today.

Gernot , these recent shots are amazing ! Love them . Dan

That does sound nasty. I guess the Spyderco bug does not react well to tick repellent

I will wait for your post then.

Thanks, Dan, for the kind words... the perhaps "amazing" part though has nothing to do with me, but just with the fact that I am so lucky to live where I live and being able to do what I do... delivers great scenery and background for free without any effort on my part..

Wait for it and be prepared... it´s not about the bug... rather about a huge and wide "chip" (much taller than the edge bevel itself) done by the aggressive tick repellent and about that even the COATED part of the blade is affected...

I thought that was bolstered for a second there and I got excited.

Love that design. Someone had mentioned they hoped for a black Micarta version with VG10 to keep the cost down. Would be awesome.

Love the design too! I get that folks want it in vg10 and micarta from a cost perspective, but I hope Spyderco sticks to laminated high carbon steels such as ZDP-189, HAP40 or Aogami super or at least make one iteration with it besides vg10. Besides the handle and overall looks, I just love the laminated blade.

[Paul Ardbeg]

Big fan of that one ! Dan

Thanks Dan for correcting my post! Guess my Brain is already done for the week

Man the Chief really would be a nice model to get bolsters. Would be especially awesome if the whole handle got a little contouring like the Damascus Caly 3 got. It would probably be pretty heavy though since it would get full liners too.

Just curious sir, do you happen to like Knipex tools??

I have a soft spot for good German-made hand tools, Knipex being one of those brands.

Also, good USA-made cutlery!
