yea I'm waiting for mine to ship too...pre-ordered from a different site back in June

[SmoothOne25]

i went to spydieguys to see (kc gets them 48hrs after jess. like clock work) if he had them yet. i saw he got banned and blamed everyone else. i watched a video and he blamed his poor service and customer support as the reason why we left neg feedback. people leave neg feedback cause he is a crook.

anyway i looked around and dont see anyone that has it for sale. i left a message at kc for ally but it was too late in the day- no response back. it was late but im guessing monday or tuesday of next week kc will ship. i cant wait. im drooling.... you know why.... the ti will come next!

the ti ukpk has been a grail for me for like 6 months. i think it will be a huge hit. even though it may be pricey for some

"banned" Really? What is your source?

[Stony]

Great news, I've been waiting for this one.


That's to bad about SpdieGuys, I always had sucess with them.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this essentially a slipit version of the Caly 3 ZDP? Not that i'm criticizing or anything, just an observation as they look just about identical from what i can see.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this essentially a slipit version of the Caly 3 ZDP? Not that i'm criticizing or anything, just an observation as they look just about identical from what i can see.In the sense that that the UKPK and Caly 3 have extremely similar shapes, yes. Different steel, different country of origin, perhaps a different treatment on the CF, and legal in some places where the Caly 3 isn't. Probably lighter as well, assuming that it's unlined like the G-10 UKPK was. Like every other knife out there, it's not the perfect solution for everyone, but am sure some will find it desirable for one or more of those reasons.

[Evil D]

Thanks Paul, and yea shape and overall looks are what i was referring to. I'm still kind of undecided on the whole slipit issue...i like the sense of security with a lock but then again with a knife of this size i'm usually not doing anything hard enough to really justify the lock, and having grown up with Case XX and Victorinox knives that never had locks, i think i could live with it for most of my EDC needs.

Yes - no liners on mine :) Also has no pins - just screws.

[Evil D]

I'd love to see some side by side pics of those two knives if anyone owns both. I imagine it's a bit thinner too correct?

Mine landed.

I'm very pleased.

Wow, gorgeous. Next to that, my FG DP UKPK looks hideous (but I still love it)!

[HistoricalMan]

I think this is going to be my first Spyderco slipit.

[spydyaddict805]

Sweet looking blade. Caly 3's sibling. This ones is on my list!

[Alfox94]

This is the next knife on my 'to buy' list! :)
