but around the house and in the garden i use a locker. but i really like the urban, its a very nice knife to open and close, i have yet to try a ukpk ( i always miss them in the classifieds) but i have got my name down for a pe drop point frn ukpk when they come out.
Hmmm...where did you get that user name...? Lol Welcome to AA...Spyderco style :D
Do you like the Urban enough to be ok with the UKPK being bigger, and better steel, yet @ the same price? I respectfully ask, because I've wanted one since they came out, but for the same price, I get more knife, and statisticly a better steel.

I use traditional slipjoints and friction folders a lot, and I'm certain that they could handle 99,9% of my cutlery needs.

I only carry locking folders in urban environments, because I can't carry a fixed blade knife all the time. Since firearm carry is severely limited in my country, knives are an important part of my SD system. Features like fast one hand opening and a good lock are a must in a defensive knife.
