Spyderco UK Penknife Lightweight Dark Blue CPM SPY27 Folding Knife

This is a beautifully made knife and of great quality as one would expect from Spyderco and, yes, it is legal - just. My concern with it is that, if carried, it skates so close to the law that it would be hard to convince a police officer that it is legal, even though, by a tiny amount it is lengthwise (and of course non-locking which is not an issue at all). The upshot of this is that I have found myself having bought something that I don't feel I am comfortable with using as an EDC and feel the need to pack in the bottom of my pack just as if I had bought a locking knife and had a "specific reason" for carrying. As I bought it specifically as a UK legal knife I find myself having spent good money not satisfied my requirement to not only b legal but paper to be legal in terms of ownership and use.

Combined with the HH titanium scales, this is the best UK EDC money can by. That’s it. HH awesome as always!

The UKPK is one of my favourite knives. Super light with a great blade. I have the Para3 LW in SPY27 which I love, so getting this as my everyday knife was a no-brainer. It's a great EDC steel..super easy/quick to sharpen on my Lansky C-sharp..easy to look after and holds an edge well. I put Ti scales on it, but removed them as the weight went from 49g to 90g, defeating one of the UKPK's best qualities..it's unnoticeable in the pocket.

Excellent quality knife, very well made, Brilliant ergonomics, the blade is perfectly aligned, FRN scales feel quite good, I would probably state that it is a bit expensive for what it is, the Steel performs reasonably well, however for everyday EDC use I’d recommend buying on of the cheaper steels, very unlikely you’d notice the difference. Customer service has been impeccable, I called various time for product advice and they have been brilliant, one of the best companies I’ve dealt with.

I already own the Spyderco urban Heinnie edition and missed out on the UKPK a few years back, however, I absolutely love this Spy27 version. The urban is a better size for edc but the spy27 ukpk is, out of the box, a better size for the hand and razor sharp. I really like this steel and the blade angle. It's zazor sharp precision and excellent build quality. Definitely in my top 3 favourite knives. As always Heinnie service was great.

On its own the lightweight UKPK with SPY27 blade is..................... superb. As it says it's light as a feather and the blade, well the blade. As usual cut cardboard, cable ties, garden string and various other household items and I can say hand on heart it is the best steel I have ever used. Beautiful, silky cut and not even a sniff of a resharpen, think it will be a long time before that's necessary. Lovely and light with the scales it came with but I swapped them out for Titechs titanium ones. A bit fiddly at first but all done in 30 mins. Scales are super fit and finish and add a bit of gravitas to the wonderful blade and the whole package now looks well high end. A little bit pricey all in but I think we'll worth it and if you want to save a couple of pounds there are less expensive UKPKs from Spyderco which are still excellent for the price. Happy Christmas and a great New Year to all at Heinnie Haynes and all your customers. Paul.

I really love this knife, it is very light . and the fit and finish are excellent. The exotic steel used in the blade is very , very sharp straight out of the box and retains this edge during use .The two positive detents help to retain the blade in the open position when in use. For me ,this is a perfect EDC knife of great utility and is a pleasure to use and own.
