HH UKPK drop point exclusive. NOW DROPPED

[ChrisinHove]

As we know there have been more teasers this week.

The latest is the following…


“EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE TO NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS FOR AN EXCLUSIVE PERIOD”

It looks like I will be joining the HH newsletter community. My other HH UKPK is really excellent quality and a great EDC. I prefer their G10 version by miles over the standard FRN/FRCP. It just feels more solid and higher quality to me. I have wanted a drop point version of this knife for quite a while and I hope that Golden gives this one equal treatment of the last HH run. Now to go sign up!

EDIT: Thanks for the heads up Chris. I am now on the list. I am pretty excited about this one.

Wouldn’t it it be cool if it were S90V as the last Urban :)

I received notification teaser and curious what the steel will be on the variation . I’ve never had this model and will wait to see price , the Red G10 would be a first for me . MG2

The better original photo shows s30v on the blade.

Maybe Sal is saving K390 for the wharncliffe UKPK….

I would like to see this in forest green G10 as a forum knife or something so I could get one.

Yes I noticed that myself , not entirely opposed to the steel , just hoping for something a bit different. Dan

This has now dropped! Very reasonable price, as well!

[Ranger_Ike]

Anyone have trouble with the checkout not working?

EDIT: Ordered. I had to end up going through PayPal to get it to work.

[Manixguy@1994]

Just got email a bit ago . Very tempting. MG2

Ended up being $102.50 shipped.

[Ranger_Ike]

Really excited about this one. Will be my first UKPK. I’ve been waiting for a g10 version of some kind, hoping for this exact one.

[DSH007]

Hmmm very tempting..

730 in stock according to their website.

Tempting.

I got a HH UKPK DP as a warranty replacement a while back, (backspacer broke on a HH UKPK) and while it's a perfectly good knife I don't really see any benefit to the shape over the leaf.

To all those who prefer the DP, what is it that makes you prefer it over the leaf?

[skeeg11]

Thrust cutting or opposite of draw cutting. Skinning, caping, etc. Many applications where a needle point on a knife is not warranted. Some things I'd just rather not poke holes in.

[TkoK83Spy]

If this is done to the same quality as the leaf blade a couple years ago, this will be a great knife. I wouldn't second guess it if I didn't already have the one mentioned.

Basically what Skeeg11 said. There’s less risk of puncturing something that I don’t want a hole in and less risk of damaging the tip if I hit something hard with it. Since this is a slip joint it makes the second scenario less likely because I won’t use it as hard as I would any type of locking folder but it applies to drop point knives in general.
