Spyderco’s immensely popular SLIPIT™ models seamlessly blend the convenience of clip carry and one-handed opening with the social and legal friendliness of a non-locking blade. The latest addition to this esteemed range is the Metropolitan.
This model is thoughtfully sized to fit perfectly between the innovative UK Penknife™ and the compact Urban™, delivering all the same performance qualities. It features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole, enabling effortless one-handed opening with either hand, alongside a clip for convenient carry at the top of the pocket, and a non-locking, notched-joint mechanism.
The blade of the Metropolitan is a full-flat-ground leaf shape, crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm’s advanced particle metallurgy stainless steel, known for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. Additionally, the blade incorporates a textured index-finger choil for added safety. The handle is both lightweight and durable, constructed from injection-moulded fibreglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales.
To provide a balance of discreet carry and easy access, the textured scales feature a deep-pocket wire clip that can be easily configured for left or right-side tip-up carry.
