Your "If there was no X, I´d certainly own Y" models...

Actually I should too...

I mean, I love really light, linerless FRN Spydies, and I most likely would always grip the UKPK with a finger in the choil anyway, which makes a lock much less important imo..

I think in my case it is just that in Austria, my home country, one can carry whatever knife they like, while pretty much in all the surrounding countries they can´t.. and so I guess I am silly enough to "think" that if I CAN carry a locking folder of any size legally I just HAVE TO make use of this opportunity, no matter what.. just silly, as said...

If it gives you some incentive, I live in Texas, where I can carry any gun I want to, and I still carry slipjoint folders.

To be honest, I usually carry the UKPK Salt around the house or maybe to the gym. Of course, that makes it by far my most-carried knife since, being retired, I spend a lot of time at home. When fishing, hiking, kayaking, etc., I carry something larger and locking, or fixed. Having said that, I would gladly carry the UKPK, but I have other options...

Have you held a UKPK, and worked its action? It's pretty awesome. Very strong "lock." I bought the UKPK Salt, and then spotted a UKPK Salt SE at a reduced price, so now I have two.

If there wasn't fairly loose knife laws id probably own the UK pk by now...

You seem to like some of the knives I post. Trust me, the UKPK is an incredible knife. Particularly the HH Exclusive if that's available again. Top 5 Spyderco for this guy!

Don't get me wrong I want a UKPK bad and they seem really great for the price. One day I want to get one and CNC some ti scales for it.
I believe the Urban is available. I'm not nearly as interested in it though. I probably would have bought an Urban by now if I didn't have a Chap. The Urban actually seems better in some ways, and while I appreciate the amazing lock on the Chap the Urban seems more convenient to use.

The UKPK is a great knife, have been surprised how much I like it. The salt version is my favorite cycling knife, no worries about rust, super light, and almost unnoticeable in a jersey pocket.

If bills didn’t exist I would own ALL of the Spydercos.

Dunno what i'd do if there were no SpydieChef. Pretty unique in its design conformation and quality. Would probably have to try one of the Kaparas.

I would get a Drunken.

Appreciate the suggestion. The Drunken is a mighty fine knife in a mighty fine steel, but when you get right down to it, I'm afraid I would be pretty much SOL. A couple of things that I like most about the SpydieChef is an easily sharpened fine grain steel and its continuous large radius sweep. A polished push cut edge is easily attainable. I know it might seem comical to envision, but rockin' that tiny blade to mince garlic is actually very doable.

If there was no Native 5 model, I would own more Delica 4 variants in different steels and handle colors.
