Salt Series UKPK
Re: Salt Series UKPK
I don't own a UKPK, but it's on my list. I'd also like to try LC200n so I'd be interested in this. I could do with something other than yellow though

Re: Salt Series UKPK
I'd love it in yellow FRN since that's standard for salt knives but bright orange would do the trick as well.Slumblor wrote:I don't own a UKPK, but it's on my list. I'd also like to try LC200n so I'd be interested in this. I could do with something other than yellow though

Re: Salt Series UKPK
Count me in for a yellow UKPK with LC200N. I'd like to see more UKPK variants (XHP, K390, M4, Maxamet, etc.).
Re: Salt Series UKPK
I would love this. Wonder if this means we can get a titanium wire clip...
Re: Salt Series UKPK
Whether H1 or LC200N, I don't think any of the slipit knives use those steels. Too bad, as the UKPK is one of the knives I like to toss in the travel case when traveling, to avoid potential legal issues. Doesn't get well cared for, so H1 or LC200N would be fitting.
Of the UKPK's, I've liked the drop point version much more than the leaf version. Leaf looks more artistic I guess, but the drop point seems to work out better for me. Enough so that I've resisted buying the S110V leaf variant.
With those steels, a slipit with a 3" blade with a recurve would be great for me. My followup would be a UKPK with the drop point profile that seems to be unavailable now.
For my legalesque travel knives, the rotation is a Sypderco Terzuola slipit, a UKPK drop point, or a SOG SlipTron. Then a SAK or Leatherman is in the bag somewhere too.

I prefer the leaf, but can't argue with personal preference.Comedie wrote:My followup would be a UKPK with the drop point profile that seems to be unavailable now...
Not sure what you mean above, but the black ffg drop point UKPKs in BD1 appear to still be in production and readily available. (In case you missed them.)

Re: Salt Series UKPK
Well when I look at non-locking folding knives in the Spyderco site online product listing, only the leaf shaped version is listed and priced. Even though the picture at top of the page shows the drop point version. So it is available, but perhaps not in production.
I already have that one in BD1 anyway. It was never offered in S110V, so I passed on that thought quickly.

Re: Salt Series UKPK
Maybe a glitch in that section? Here it is on the Spyderco site:

Kind of a bummer for those that prefer the drop point that the s110v is leaf point only. I've seen a fair amount of love for the drop point in the various UKPK threads, but I can only guess the sales weren't there.

Re: Salt Series UKPK
Giving this thread a little bump since the USPK thread has me thinking about alternate UKPK's I'd like to see.
This summer I carried my s110v in my waistband while swimming and camping. It held up very well but I was worried about dropping it. That dark blue would be hard to find even in the nice clear water I was swimming in.
So...yellow FRN with LC200N please! :D

Re: Salt Series UKPK
More and more devoted to slipits, so that now I buy them in pair, like the Urban K390 (what a knife!!!).
I'm in for a pair of Salts, why not in LC200N!?!?
Yellow would be fine, but also another color to start a new line e.g. a pure WHITE

For me it started last summer, but this year iwb lw carry almost completely took over, predominately the Urban and UKPK. Even when we weren't at the pool or the beach, I've tended to dress in gym shorts and poly running shirts most of the time (aka Relaxwear :D) and those two just disappear completely iwb whether I'm running, swimming, or just lounging around the house. Good idea to give this thread a little push before Fall sets in and the g10-scaled blades get back into regular rotation for the cooler months.
At any rate, Yellow frn and LC200N would be a great addition to the line-up! (As would one in 52100, but that's a different thread/purpose... :))

Re: Salt Series UKPK
I'd like either the UKPK or the Urban. I've been a fan of the UKPK since it was first introduced, but the little K390 Urban is probably my favorite now. LC200N would be a perfect balance to that knife.
Re: Salt Series UKPK
I think I replied to this thread back in the beginning, but if not, I'm still interested in an LC200N UKPK for sure.

Re: Salt Series UKPK
Same for me. A Salt Urban would be awesome, but either UKPK not bad at allNorthglenn500 wrote:I'd like either the UKPK or the Urban. I've been a fan of the UKPK since it was first introduced, but the little K390 Urban is probably my favorite now. LC200N would be a perfect balance to that knife.
Re: Salt Series UKPK
Count me in for a ukpk in lc200n it would almost be an oversized dragonfly. My ukpk s110v is a great knife, good size blade and light for its size. A ukpk in lc200n would almost beat a dragonfly in lc200n it would be close. I'll have both please. Are there any other salt series knives that are legal to carry in the uk?
