Description

This is Spyderco's famous UK Penknife (UKPK) with FRN handles and a drop point balde with a flat grind.

We want variety!" It's an often heard sentiment from knife customers and is why Spyderco offers several bestsellers with different handle options. Knife nuts wanting the lightest- weight folders available, gravitate to FRN or fiberglass reinforced nylon handles. Ultra- light FRN is warp resistant, shuns chemicals, and isn't affected by temperature extremes.

Spyderco's non-locking, one-hand open, clip carry folders are called SLIPITS. Starting in 2004, Spyderco launched a folding knife model called the UK Penknife, targeted for carry in the United Kingdom. As the SLIPIT concept gains momentum Spyderco keeps expanding the line with folders in varying sizes, steels and handles. Newly added are Lightweight SLIPITS.

Lightweight UK Penknife blades are held open by a notched-joint at the knife's pivot. When closing the blade the notch produces resistance functionally similar to traditional slip-joint penknives. Heightening control and comfort, Spyderco designers added a deep finger choil positioning the index finger on the bottom of the blade directly under the thumb. This lets you choke up near the cutting edge with comfort and dexterity. A tension-wire clip carries the folder deeply in a pocket, tip-up and ambidextrously.

This version has a CTS BD1N blade steel and black FRN handle.

    Slight disappointment

    Posted by Josh on 5th Jan 2014

    Before I start i am still getting used to the knife and my opinion may change. I find the blade steel is easy to sharpen and I've quite quickly got a razors edge on it. The thing I am disappointed on however is the handle. I own the squeak so was aware how the FRN would feel , however it feels almost flimsy on the UKPK. Its a real shame because it really does put a downer on the knife. I feel the handle still feels weightier on the squeak and I'm still unsure why the tension bar stops halfway down the handle unlike the squeak that finishes at the end of the knife. This consequently makes the 'lock up' feels a lot less sturdy than the squeak which I was surprised about. However the knife still is up to a decent quality. All in all if you don't need the extra blade length I'd maybe invest in a Spyderco squeak instead. Or if you're willing to spend a little more maybe look and a slip joint at around the £80 price range. All that's said it is however a niche little edc , I don't have any major issues with it and will be keeping it in my edc rotation
