HI,
I just picked up a custom kwaiback and am now getting worried it could possibly be a UHEP w the custom Clip, back spacer and pivot. The one I have is a Bedform style titanium slabs milled out slots. Engraved inside the slab on the face side says 2015 w some other engravings I can not make out except for XHP, and Also has etched into the inside of the Back Spacer is PS 23 Hoback. My question is does the UHEP come w milled out slabs I was wondering if that would be a way to tell if its a real custom or just a UHEP w custom add on
thanks
any confirmation would help
 
I'm no expert but all the UHEP I have seen have milled pockets inside the scales to reduce weight and the blade is a defined tanto point, not an gradual transition to the point.

The early first run mid techs have no lightening pockets inside the handles and have a gradual sweep at the tanto point.

Hope that helps somewhat...
 
It sounds like a custom. As far I know:
1) yes UHEP have milled out slabs
2) he has never made a UHEP kwaiback in XHP, only 20cv and s35vn (although the he is about to release carbon fiber one with XHP but it's not out yet and has an all carbon fiber slab)
3) I do not of any kwaiback UHEP's he made in Bedform style but it is certainly possible.

Based on your description it sounds very much like a custom
 
Hey, only one of your pics work
Additional thoughts
1. Pretty sure UHEP do not come with leather cases but wooden ones
2. Never heard of a UHEP coming with p23 on the back spacer but not really sure

I think it's a custom.

You can email Jake. He is a super nice guy.
