Spyderco developed the UK Penknife™ after the United Kingdom prohibited the carry of folding knives with locking blades. It combines the defining features of our revolutionary CLIPIT® knives—a pocket clip for convenient carry and our Trademark Round Hole™ for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening—with an improved, nonlocking, notched-joint mechanism. A proud variant of our first SLIPIT™ model, this version of the UK Penknife features a full-flat-ground drop-point blade crafted from CTS® BD1N stainless steel. The blade includes a textured index-finger choil as an extra margin of safety and is paired with a lightweight handle built with injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales. The textured scales are home to a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that is easily configured for left or right-side tip-up carry.
