Take your pick. I like both, but drop point more.

Obviously both is ideal cause then we can all choose the one we want most, or take both but my preference is drop point.

Seems even. Maybe both blades should be released, then I'd have to buy both :)

I guess both would be the obvious option to pick, however if there can be only one i'd prefer a leaf shaped blade.

FFG Sheepsfoot like on the UKPK Rescue?? but PE ;) I've got plenty of leaf and drop points but if'n I had to choose for this one a drop point would be it.

Hi Folks!


Another vote for the Leaf Blade shape here. :spyder:

The recent USN Ladyhawk came as half SE and half PE so I do not see why this run (if it were to happen) could not come as both a drop point and a leaf. I voted drop point because I already have a couple of Caly3s and to me this would be a way to have a Caly3 handle with a stretch blade which would add much more variety to my rotation.

Where is the wharncliffe option? Like the wharncliffe Urban.

Awesome

Leaf is 'the' UKPK blade shape for my money ;)

Well, I hope it's both. I really wanted drop point dark blue S110V.

Now I'm worried, what if it is both. I don't really NEED two of them. :eek:

I voted for drop point blade, but have to say wharncliffe blade would be an interesting option.

I hope everyone who says Wharncliffe but if not Drop realizes that Leaf is basically Wharncliffe with a slight belly. So you should say Wharncliffe or Leaf. Leaf>Drop all day long and twice on Sunday

Speaking just for myself I prefer the Drop because there's less blade sticking out when it's folded. I'm not sure the difference in edge curvature is that significant between the current Drop and Leaf, although I'm just comparing pictures because I only have Drop in the the flesh.

A wharncliffe with a belly isn't a wharncliffe. While I do not own a UKPK i have handled one and it is basically a non locking Caly3 which I have a couple of and I do not consider the edge even close enough to be called wharncliffish. The Kershaw Leek is Wharncliffish and the R model is a little wharncliffish but the ukpk/Caly3 is not in my opinion even close and has considerable belly.


Also, what about a combo edge sheepsfoot? That would be a big hit. :cool: :p
