Sorry, I don't own an Urban. I have given the Caly quite a workout though and long as don't pry, you should be fine.

I have a vg 10 and zdp Caly jr. The zdp one developed an ever so slight bend in the the last 8 mm , i sent it to STR and he shaped the tip and now it looks like a rescue with the rounded tip. Its awsome.

I Personally like all things Caly3, Clay jr, Sage ukpk, Flat grind leaf shape ETC, ETC, ETC,,

but most of all i think The Caly jr is the lightest , sharpest , most sheeple friendly edc you can have.

I was wondering is the urban close ??? it has to be, the specs are different but close.

DO i need 2 right away??? (in Green my fav colour)

Don't have an Urban, and I know specs can sometimes be deceiving. But, based on them I tend to think of it as a non-locking "tactical" cousin of the Kopa. About the same size and, at least for the FG version, about the same blade shape. IMHO, the UKPK would have a similar relationship with the Caly 3.

OK, here ye be. Just got mine today. **** it was hard to reverse the clip to lefty-carry. The barrel of the clip screw holds the slip joint in tension. There's gotta be an easier way!!
Anyway so far I quite like the Urban. Good size, and the slip joint is pretty solid. More comments later after I put it to use.

Thank you rorschach . Thats exactly what i wanted to see. The handel is to small on the urban for my personal taste. To bad cause the blade looks awsome.


Thanks again

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.
