Hey folks,

It seems pretty landslide for the UKPK. So I'm going to throw up a last quick vote for some of the knives mentioned in the "other" category and see what you all think.

Unless something changes drasticly I will be buying a UKPK soon here and starting my 6 months worth of carry.

You don't even have to type a reply in this thread if you don't want.

If you would stop in and just give a quick vote I would much appreciate it.

Here's the original thread for those curious:

Remember, your final decision will be what I purchase and carry for 6 months.


Thanks,
David

i voted for the rookie..i just got one and i really like it..smaller and slimmer than the delica but with a lil longer blade.

i voted Harpy SE

Several interesting additions, but I still look forward to your long-term review of a non-locking :spyder: .

Don't have either of them David :o

I TRIED to carry my Delica1/SE from now on untill I got my Military out of it's box today.....

Well, since none of the ones I wanted to see made your list, I went with the Captain. I'd love to see how you feel about that knife in March. I have a UKPK and while it's a nice knife, I don't see any hidden gems in there to find by EDCing it. I do with the Captain (and with the Lava, which also isn't on the list)

Good luck,

Ken

OK, well I'm stopping this since it's Wednesday Morning and the UKPK has won over here with 30% of the 50 votes.

Thanks people!

I'll be buying a UKPK shortly and then it will begin. :)

I'm very curious David :)

I'm eagerly awaiting the serrated sheepfoot Urban and I'm anxious to know How a non lock blade will be for EDC :confused:

I would love to see Dave put ZDP-189 though its paces...

I edc my caly 3 regular. I however am a guy who loves to change flavour within a week so these kind of threads are hard for me .

I will follow this thread with great interest. How the ukpk will hold out without its lock. The lock-less is my major concern; in edc for certain tasks you might need it. I think it will be better as a classic slipjoint as the recoil and notchjoint will work safer. Next to that the backlock sometimes can be a bit annoying when closing it very frequent on the job dumping the knife back on pocket.

I could not make up my mind between the new rookie, para millie persian and the one chosen... :o

So i'll be eager to hear from your lock less experience over the next 6 months.

Great thread in the works

I just wouldnt want to EDC something without a lock for 6 months, sorry. But, YMMV, I guess. :spyder:

Me too. Funny though how we have limited time and limited funds. I know there is a reason for all that.

I stayed with my original choice of the UK Penknife, but it would've been interesting to see what you could do with a Captain over the 6 months.
