Also, if you're looking for a user, the Lil' Temp TP should fit the bill nicely. Unfortunately, the Trailing Points are becoming quite rare these days as well...
the chinese is green. seems like everything is getting rare...hrm...

JYEO..."IN MY BOOK," the best all around user is the "SPUR." Its reasonably priced and hopefully a Combo blade. It is located top center with the Kraton inlay in the handle. Hope this helps in your decision.

I'd be most interested in the UKPK as a user. The Lil Temp TP, Lum CHinese and Centofante should make nice safe queens though.

The LUM is a great choice as a user or a safe queen. BTW, how much are they asking for the LUM and what is the name of this place?

thanks in advance

Any of them will serve you well, if it's gonna be a spydie. But if you need one for collecting purposes, I'd rather go for the Centofante or the Lum Tanto.

Yes, if its a shop I can deal with. I lived for a short time in Asia (6 months in Singapore) and enjoyed every minute however, I couldn't understand the pricing of items in that area of the world. Don't get me wrong, I love Asia and if I couldn't migrate to my home in Ireland, Asia would be my next choice.

its a great place to live in but not very great when it comes to knives. if you must know the shop is called tight lines and they dont have a website or anything. unless you want to come down to selangor, malaysia, i dont see how you can buy the knives. hrm...
