Whither the UKPK wharncliffe? - nay, I shall not desist!

I idly sketched a wharnie blade on the UKPK handle when I really should have been doing something better, and couldn’t help admiring what would surely be a world beating slipjoint!

Anyone agree?

Could we, perhaps, make the blade a lambsfoot instead of a wharncliffe? It would sort of tie in to a classic UK Sheffield pattern.

I like the idea of a wharncliffe UKPK a lot. A whole lot.

I never said I could draw well … :rofl


Incidentally, HH released a teaser of their new red G10 drop point UKPK today.

That’s a poor copy of their photo, which shows s30v on the blade, like the original.

I like the sketch too. Wharncliffe option would be great. I almost forgot about the original point of this thread because of the HH news

I've thought for awhile it would be a fantastic version of a great knife. FRN, G10, BD1N, SPY27 honestly doesn't matter to me any version would be an instant buy.

I love my K390 Wharncliffe Dragonfly. This would be great for folks who want the same thing but cannot have a lock on their knife.

I’m all for the Wharnie idea and your picture was pretty good ! The teaser has my interest in a big way . MG2
