urban uk byrd?

[clovisc]

i've been wondering, as i sit here debating spending $100 difficult-to-come-by dollars on an orange UKPK... is there going to be a byrd equivalent of the UKPK / Urban concept?

i'd think... eventually?

and what about a byrd take on the manix? overbuilt superbyrd? G10 flight and catbyrd are great, but... :D

[clovisc]

i should add... either way... i think the orange UKPK is going to be inbound soon... :D :D

I've gotta say the Robin feels just about "perfect" in my hand....with these ergos i'd guess it could be a likely "platform" candidate for an "Urban-sized" byrd :rolleyes: :cool:
here's the FRN Robin and Meadowlark

Clovis,
I've been watching the Urban development pretty closely, and I'm sure there were plans for an FRN handled version, which would hopefully cost less than the G10 ones, that might be just what you need!

I understand your dilemna, but I really do think the UKPK is worth the money - it is an excellent knife.

Clovisc, I was thinking the same question - I think byrd line should have a slippie too. :) Would allow you to buy a cheap quality made slippie you can travel with and replace easily if lost or stolen /or confiscated by a furious cop who thinks its a threatening weapon.. :rolleyes: /

I don't think that clovisc is asserting that it isn't. I'm sure a Sebenza is worth the money, but I'm not going to buy one. He's just asking for a certain kind of knife in a lower price bracket.

well, i'm just wondering if the slippit concept is going be converted into the world of byrd... :D also curious if the manix concept might one day undergo a similar evolution... :)

believe me... i've been buying spydies long enough to know the UKPK is worth the price... :D

The first slip-it byrd is already in the works. The Byrd Wings prototype, that was unveiled at the A'dam Meet was a notch-joint action folder, no clip though.

Sorry, I thought he was debating spending his money on a UKPK, and was just reassuring that it is a very good knife.
