Urban Lightweight Knife

Details

This knife is a part of Spydercos SLIPIT collection, which consists of non-locking folders that combine the advantages of one-hand opening and clip carry with the legal permissibility of a non-locking mechanism. The Urban Lightweight exemplifies all the best qualities of the SLIPIT concept and combines them with the weight-saving advantages of an injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle.

The blade is machined from premium Bhler-Uddeholm N690Co steel. Its full-flat grind and leaf-shaped profile provide an exceptional balance of strength, low-friction cutting performance, and point utility. A prominent index-finger choil (finger groove) helps prevent unintentional blade closure, while Spydercos Trademark Round Hole ensures one-handed opening with either hand.

The Urban Lightweights textured FRN handle scales are anchored to the handles solid steel back spacer, which provides structural strength and serves as the spring for the knifes notched-joint non-locking pivot mechanism. The handle also features a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that allows left or right-side tip-up carry and keeps the knife tucked low in the pocket for a discreet, socially friendly image.
