Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

I have ukpk in spy27 on the way after theoretically overcoming my bias against non-locking knives. We’ll see how it works out in practice.
The UKPK spring is so nice, it really doesn't lack any inspiring confidence that a lock could add, IMO. All around, it's up there as one of the best knives that Spyderco manufactures, and one that has a permanent place in my carry.
Nice! On the Delica, check out BlackLabProjects on Etsy. Quick turn around and the cheapest I have seen on scales at $65. I can attest the Micarta and the quality is spot on. Also, @cjk some time back recommended that I try out Flytanium's backspacers. It does add a nice heft and stronger feel to the lockup. Could just be the sound.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 8:54 amBO Hap40 Endura (finally!) been wanting this for some time and finally pulled the trigger.
K390 Delica4 since it's all the rage right now and will be my 1st Delica.
Both are replacements for gifted V-Toku2 Endura and K390 Endela that went to my 2 Army brats :)

Nope. Super simple! May want to look for a different clip depending on what look you are going for. I had the painted clip for awhile, but ended up switching it to an old PM2 polished clip to match the hardware. Since I configured it for tip up only and no lanyard hole, I did not need a clip with the center pivot/lanyard hole in it.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 11:14 amEnablerJSumm wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 10:43 amNice!

Thank you Jeff I'll definitely check them out, since I don't have many unmodified folders

Quick question; other than the scales and backspacer is there anything else need be purchased to make that swap?

Congrats, it's the one I put back in the priority list the most often, seems like such an overall killer of a knife !
