Bella Italia Meets American Spirit
Imagine this: American ingenuity meets Italian passion – and instead of a deep-dish pizza, you get the Spyderco Metropolitan. Designed in Colorado and crafted in Italy, this slipjoint is as smooth as an espresso in Rome and as reliable as a burger in Denver.
The Metropolitan is essentially the little brother of the legendary UK Penknife – or rather, the cousin who feels at home on both sides of the Atlantic. With an overall length of 16 cm, it sits perfectly between the UKPK and the Urban. For those familiar with the old SpyDK (now discontinued), the handle will feel familiar – just with an updated high-performance blade.
The blade is Böhler M390 – a high-end powdered steel so edge-retentive your cardboard boxes will already be nervous. Add the feather-light 54 g FRN handle, which is barely noticeable in your pocket, and the reversible wire clip for carry convenience – left or right side. And, of course, the iconic Round Hole: slip in a finger, a gentle push, and the blade is deployed.
In short, the Metropolitan Lightweight is Spyderco’s answer to whether a modern slipjoint can be practical, §42a-compliant, and stylish at the same time. The answer? Si!
