I own several versions on the UKPK but have been away from the Forum for a while. I just searched the catalog for a drop point version of the UKPK but found none. Has it been discontinued or did I search poorly? Thanks.

It was discontinued in 2010 or 2011, I believe. Knifeworks still has some in stock.

I may be thinking of the SE models, which is what is available at the link.

Thanks Sharp Guy and Robbob. It's the plain edge drop point I'm seeking and there it is on pg. 98. Wonder why I couldn't search successfully for it a few hours ago. It must me my inability!

It's incredible that he still has those in stock. I've been eyeballing those for a while now. You've have me tempted again. :)

As of a few months ago the UKPK Drop point was available from the SFO. Mine has the newer BD1N steel.

Funny, ordered a gray serrated drop point from Knifeworks yesterday, didn't even see this thread until now.
I think it's the 5th disco'd UKPK I've ordered from Knifeworks over last few years. The previous ones were gifted away after various blade/scale/backspring swaps.
My other two "keepers" are plain leaf blades. The blue s110v, and a "Franken-PK" with a BD1 blade and the new, stiffer backspring and maroon scales. I'm tempted to get the current plain drop point UKPK now as well so I can swap the blades and have the serrated in black with the new spring.
