Urban LW fits my needs more than the UKPK

Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK
My older Gin1 UKPK CE has a much weaker back spring than my (only) BB Urban LW. Sometimes when I choke up, the blade moves and I get the teeth into my thumb!
For that reason alone, for me the Urban now takes 1st place.

Ditto ^^. Weak backsprings are like wet, Sandy underwear to me! Pingo is my best FRN back spring and Spy DK has been solid on all models I have handled

Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK
I prefer the UKPK for its size and blade length.
I prefer the URBAN's N690Co steel to UKPK's BD1 steel, but that could be because I don't have enough experience with BD1.
Now that the UKPK has received an update to the spring, I'd say the two knives "lockup" is on par with each other in terms of closing resistance.

Well they're made in Golden, so I don't see why not... but I guess we should probably wait on official confirmation. :DSpydergirl88 wrote:Is this real? :eek:ChrisinHove wrote:

The thread is about the UKPK light weight so that means FRN I'm guessing.elena86 wrote:Great news. G10 or FRN ?sal wrote:I saw them o n the schedule for later this year.Spydergirl88 wrote:Is this real? :eek:ChrisinHove wrote:

Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK
That cheap FRN they use on the LW UKPK ? I hope not.Let's pray for a blue G10 or at least for a Delica like FRN.Liquid Cobra wrote:The thread is about the UKPK light weight so that means FRN I'm guessing.elena86 wrote:Great news.

Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK
Sorry Marius, It will be our FRN model. The G-10 versions were very expensive and sales suffered. The FRN model lets you experience the steel in a light, easy EDC, especically for those in the UK.

Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK
I love the G10 UKPK's Sal but I also love the pattern on the FRN slipit knives so I'm very happy. They're so light weight and affordable. I hope you have no plans to change the pattern to bidirectional like the delica. Thanks again!sal wrote:Sorry Marius, It will be our FRN model.

I prefer the UKPK over the Urban a lot.
Re: LW Urban vs LW UKPK
Sal, I will be a happy camper anyway. :) I only hope it's going to be the "S110V blue" FRN.I also pray for a super strong back spring.Thank you for keeping the "Caly spirit" alive. :cool:sal wrote:Sorry Marius, It will be our FRN model.
