Spyderco’s popular SLIPIT knives are non-locking folders that combine the advantages of one-hand opening and clip carry with the legal permissibility of a non-locking mechanism.

 

Originally released in 2009, the Spyderco lightweight knife 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. Its blade is machined from premium Böhler-Uddeholm N690Co steel—a high-performance stainless steel alloyed with cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium. 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 Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole ensures positive one-handed opening with either hand.

 

The Urban Lightweight’s textured FRN handle scales are anchored to the handle’s solid steel back spacer, which provides structural strength and serves as the spring for the knife’s 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.

    Perfect EDC

    Posted by Davey on 6th Jun 2023

    Great knife, just disappears in the pocket, strong back spring with easy one handed opening. The FRN takes a bit of getting used too if you're a fan of G10, but other than that it’s an absolute belter.

    An Everyday Carry for Town and Country

    Posted by malcolm newton on 17th Feb 2022

    I wanted a discreet everyday carry that was small enough to put on a jeans pocket without consuming the whole pocket, but at the same time retaining a blade large enough for most general purposes. The Urban certainly ticks these boxes. It has a solid one-handed action and a secure open detent. It feels very safe. There appears to be some variability in build quality, looking at the reviews, but the example I received was perfect. Backspring well aligned, blade nicely centred, no raggy finish anywhere. The scales do feel a tad plasticity at the price (£80.00), but they seem to be strong and functional. Sharp out of the box with a tidy symmetrical grind. My only real gripe is the price. £20 cheaper and it would be perfect.

    Spyderco Urban Lighweight

    Posted by TCS on 8th May 2021

    Best pocket knife I've ever owned. I own two locking Whitbys 2.5 and ~3.5 as well as Whitby Sprint for my key chain. Then I used to carry a Lansky World Legal. All of which are good knives, cheap and cheerful do what they say they do. The 2.5 I've had that best part of 7 years and would still use it when I'm not out and about - I live in the city. But this Spyderco is a completely different thing. If you're coming from a cheap bit of steal to this knife you'll be impressed. I'm still waiting for the ukpk and the Manix 2 to be in stock. HH service is 5 stars they also live up to their rep.

    Spyderco urban.

    Posted by Mark Phillips on 17th Apr 2021

    Wanted a spyderco urban for years. Either talk myself out of it or get something else instead. Finally pulled the trigger and now wonder why I hadn't sooner. Usually wait to review so can get a good measure of an item, but I've used the nuts off it yesterday and today. And its a knife I've not stopped being excited about. Deep leaf blade is my favourite. Grippy thumb ramp and choil. Great ergos choking up to blade with said thumb ramp and choil, and choking up even further holding blade with ring finger anchored firmly in choil. Nice and light with tension on blade open, which some may find too stiff. Its perfect for me. Hate light back springs. Back tension bar is thick and full length unlike ukpk. Fairly well centred and no blade play. Spent the past 2 days working with bamboo, making arrow shafts, cutting cordage, and many other cutting chores with it. N690 is okay but I'm still searching for that perfect steel. To me, after many stroppings and about 4 or 5 sharpenings, it seems similar to vg10. Hand on heart, if you're toying with the idea just order one. Not been this made up with a slip joint in a long time. Another sprint run again with a different steel would be good. Anyway, will continue to use the crap out of it and see how it goes.

    Not bad for the size

    Posted by Randy Banks on 19th Mar 2021

    This knife is well designed and crafted, like all Spyderco products and it is certainly a lightweight unit. Although its small size makes it very handy, I find it just a bit too small for my liking. The size, too, coupled with a fairly stiff notch joint, makes one-handed opening a bit more difficult than I'd like. On both fronts, I far prefer my UK Penknife, with which I'll be sticking for the foreseeable.

    Spyderco urban

    Posted by Stephen Lewis on 16th Mar 2021

    Small, light, unobtrusive, friendly, well made and b****y sharp! ..... easy on the eye and easy on the pocket ..... a worthy edc.

    The knife is well made but a little smaller than I anticipated but ideal as an every day carry. Will probably pick something a little larger in the future. I think it is also on the expensive side for its size. Overall I like the Spyderco designs and

    Would choose Spyderco again. I really like the Paramilitary 3 but unfortunately not permitted in the UK. Maybe for use in Spain
