I vaguely recall them making an Urban Shiv (double-edged) and an Urban Skinner (useful), and wishing they still made the latter as a non-folding pocket knife.
It's a problem marketing a fixed blade knife designed and packaged for concealed carry, optimized for stabbing, and named "Acme Concealed Dirk or Dagger" when the intended use of the product (concealed carrying of a stabbing sort of knife "for protection") is a crime in lots and lots of places, including most places where you might need one.

I bought a Cold Steel Urban Shiv the year they were discontinued. I actually was disappointed with it, as I did not really like how it was ground on only one side with really wedgy bevels, with secondary bevels added to that, if I recall correctly.
At the same time I tried to buy the Urban Hunter, but they had become too scarce for any success.
Last year I finally managed to snag one on the forums from a gentleman who was selling both as a set. He finally split them and let me Have the Urban Hunter, and I was very pleased with my buy. The little clip point is razor sharp, and more utilitarian in usage than the Shiv.
