Cons: None
All day utility.
This is an excellent knife. I use it every day in a boatyard on Long Island Sound. I prefer the orange handles so that I don't lose my knife (I have a rescue jr. too). It is razor sharp out of the box. The finger choil (like on the rescue jr) is choked up close to the blade which is exactly what i was looking for. I would have chosen the Caly 3 with the lock which is virtually identical but the carbon fiber handles looked too pretty and the high end vanity steel priced it out of contention. Personally I think carbon fiber is a step down from G10. I sacrificed the lock-back of the caly 3 for the orange g10 handles of the UKPK which has more traction, visibility and strength. The knife is made in the USA, another prerequisite for this particular purchase. The light weight and size make this knife imperceptible on your person. I feel safe using this knife a dozen times a day despite it not having the lock. Thanks Sal.... another home run!
