Hi I'm looking into buying a DKPK. Which is pretty much the UKPK that is not intended to open with one hand.

I would like to know what the opening and closing is like with regard to the back spring. does it need more or less force to close then SAK or is it about the same?
 
I cant comment on the DKPK but ive got a UKPK and it was meant to be opened one handed as are all spydercos.
It does have a bit of resitence but not that much more than a SAK but and opens with a big click which IMO could cause a problem with the police if you arent allowed to carry lock knives etc.

Reading my own post again I see it is a bit unclear:o
I meant that the DKPK is not intended to be opened with one hand.
The DKPK is the same as the UKPK with 1 differense, the spyder hole is ....Well its hard to explain I'll just make a link so you can se it yourself. "Link:D"
1 handers are not legal in Denmak (Knife laws?? The british got it easier then we do :()

So if I'm reading you right the UKPK has a stronger backspring then a SAK ?
That is what I was hoping to hear :thumbup:
 
The resistance on opening the UKPK is about the same as you get on the regular lock backs it just dosnt lock open.
For closing you defo. need to use more force than you would to close a SAK, thats for sure :thumbup:
 
Closing the DKPK with both hands requires more force than closing my SAK Soldier Model.

It requires less force than closing my Case Bartender which is the stiffest slipjoint knife currently in my collection.

I sure do, an orange G-10 bad boy :D:thumbup:

It's a great wee knife, im still not sure if I would carry it back home with out a "good reason" though :rolleyes: but its a must have if your from the UK :p
 
Hm, the laws here in Sweden don't make any distinctions between lockable and non lockable knives, so I guess I can just as well get myself a Caly 3 instead of a UKPK, since they're practically identical, save for the locking mechanism, am I right?
 
The UKPK has a deeper choil than the Caly 3, has screw construction vs. pinned (Except for the pivot) in the Caly 3. The UKPK has S30V and the Caly 3 has VG10.
 
I've read that you can drill out the pins in the Caly 3 and put in your own bolts and torx screws to make it a knife you can regularly service yourself.

Has anyone tried this? I like to periodically take my knives apart and clean them from the inside out, and I'd like to do that with a Caly 3 should I get one.
