UK penknife?

10fingers · May 9, 2014

So what's the deal with these.. Are they disco completely or just certain grinds/steels?

I got a leaf blade saber grind combo edge in GIN-1 in a trade and have really fallen for these little slipits and i want an FFG s30v leaf shape blade one pretty bad

Anyone know the scoop on these? Should I start looking at the classifieds for one or are these coming back in stock sometime soon?

The multiple colours have been discontinued but they still make ukpk's in black.

S30v is disco'd.

Ok thank you

I was actually just looking at the BD-1 version you linked while doing my weekly check for an s30v one in stock and that may be the one I go with since s30v is disco.

Is BD-1 the only steel offered in them now or is gin-1 still going?

I 've picked up a few, wish I've picked up more when they came out, I find these an excellent user & bargain. I sometimes don't need a locking folder, great for my needs. Hole opener & a slippy. great combo. Gary

The gin-1 models are disco'd, but if your google-fu is strong, a few dealers still have them in stock. I picked up a blue leaf and gray drop point late last year, both plain edge. Great little knives, actually carrying my blue one today.

I love mine but I'd like to see a larger version.

I had 3 of them but sold one of them & I carry one on me with my Deica ZDP189 **
Going to sell the other new old one as I am trying to clean up & straighten up my Gun Safes where I can find things.
All 3 of mine were the older ones #C94GP with the wire Clip & CPMS30V Steel & Black Scales.** Collector #187 ~ NIB
Every where I go the UK & Delica go with me plus a Para2 for larger task.^^

I actually just found two g10 s30v ones on amazon if anyone is looking for one.

I almost popped on one but I like the FRN on these so much, the texture is awesome and the big spyder logo looks cool
