UPK-M2 Lite

Available in Black, Navy Blue and Dark OD Green, the handles offer a stark contrast to the Blades micro peened surface.

The price of a great item but the quality of a good one

I'm pretty happy with my UPK-M2 Lite. The design is extremely unique and I have found a lot of use for the blade at the different levels of extension. The action feels great, it has good fidget capability and the blade shape and size is very useful. I also light how lightweight it is. Very pocketable.

However I am disappointed with some of the features.The pocket clip and glass breaker are both loose and rattle around making an annoying noise. I also found that some of the hex cutouts are not very usable due to how shallow the cutout is.

Overall I like this knife a lot but paying $250 for a product with rattling and loose hardware feels bad.

Hey Charlie,

The glass breaker isn't loose so much as adding a hidden feature. While designing the knife and thinking about the way the blade is sprung closed, I decided to create a Center-Punch function. If you have the blade in the closed position but unlock the bolt-lever, you'll notice the Tungsten carbide carrier will push the blade about 1mm if you press it into the handle.

To use the center punch, you must open the knife blade to the full open position, then locate the position to mark and press the tip against the surface perpendicular. Then drop the blade, it will transfer the blade's energy to the carrier and create a mark/ dent.

As for the clip, i appologize of it moves in an undesirable way. I have a video that instructs on a method to tension it as desired. The single screw captures, but does not tension the clip directly. Please check this video.

UPK-M2 Lite

Das UPK-M2 Lite war ein Geschenk zum 50. Geburtstag meines Bruders und er hat sich sehr darüber gefreut. Es liegt sehr gut in der Hand und er ist sehr zufrieden damit.

Love it!

It’s attached to my hip. Only thing is the clip has loosened up a bit, but otherwise I’m really happy with it.

Little disappointed

It was very cool looking on the internet. The quality of the blade and body is great. Opening isn't easy for a lefty. The pocket clip came loose after one or two snags. I tightened, but it soon began wiggling.

I do not recommend the Right-handed version for Lefties, I do make a Left-handed version, and am happy to swap a knife to make sure you have the most optimal knife type.

Thank you for the support!
