UK Penknife drop point a "mini" Stretch?

readyme · Feb 8, 2012

I know "mini" and Stretch just don't go together.
I freakin' love my Stretch. It is a plain ol' VG10 black FRN handle version...and it feels and functions perfect.
But it is also a bit on the large side. Does anybody know if there is something a little smaller with the same feel?
Looking through the catalog, the only thing that looked similar was the UK Penknife Lightweight Drop Point.
Does anybody have any side by side pictures?
Thanks

The UKPK in these photos is the G-10 version, but the FRN one is the same basic size and shape, although the blade on the FRN one is hollow ground, rather than FFG like the G-10 version and the Stretch.

You are the man. Thank you. Now I have to fing a G10 version (love the ffg).

I don't think you will regret it. I have the same G10 foliage green drop point that Deacon does, and it is one of my favorite knives.

They pop up on the exchange every know and then at a good price. There was one up not that long ago, but not sure if it sold or not.

Great pics Paul ! I still need to get a Stretch one day.

Ken,
I can not recommend the Stretch enough. This thing is awesome.
Thank you both for the info.

Try your best to get one. It is an absolutely phenomenal knife. The hollow ground ukpk doesn't hold a candle to the FFG.

What are the chances we could get Sal to drop a lock in that bad boy....really make a mini Stretch.

That would be cool but i don't think it would happen anytime soon. They got a bunch of stuff on the table right now iirc

I've long dreamed for a drop point Caly 3 with G10 or CF.

I wish spyderco offered more models with FFG drop point blades, but don't see it happening.
