With a serrated Magnacut blade Weighs only 48 grams Yellow FRN handle scales Legal, extra bitey, and bright yellow Question: what is bright yellow, won’t rust, and is also a seriously sharp tool? Exactly – the UKPK Salt with a Magnacut blade. It’s no secret that knife laws in Europe are significantly stricter than in the US. As one of the first major manufacturers to address this, Spyderco created the UKPK (UK Penknife) – a true European classic in their lineup, designed to comply even with the very strict knife laws in the UK. Two key factors come together here: thanks to the Spyderhole, the knife can be opened one-handed, but it does not lock. Instead, the blade is held in place by a strong backspring (similar to a traditional Swiss Army knife). This makes the UKPK legal to carry in many jurisdictions. Despite its compact size, non-locking design, and ultra-lightweight construction, the UKPK is a highly capable cutting tool. The thin blade, combined with a high flat grind, delivers outstanding cutting performance in everyday tasks. This is clearly designed as a slicer – not a folding pry bar. The Magnacut steel used in the Salt series is extremely corrosion-resistant, making it ideal even for use in harsh environments. The bright yellow FRN (fiber reinforced nylon) handle scales are built without steel liners, resulting in a construction that is both lightweight and durable. At just 48 grams, the UKPK is barely noticeable in your pocket. The deep-carry pocket clip can be mounted on either side, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

FRN handle CTS BD-1N blade with four-way reversible clipThe EDC Classic Don't let the name of this absolute classic scare you - this is not a combat knife or any other kind of military stabbing weapon. The Para Military 2 - or PM2 - is one of the most popular and versatile knives Spyderco has in its lineup. Originally introduced in 2010, this all-around knife has been improved upon over the years, making this cutting tool an absolutely mature design by now.The incredibly ergonomic handle, is designed for maximum control when working with the knife and allows you a variety of ways to wield the blade. Really great is the so-called Fingerchoil (an indentation at the base of the blade), which makes it possible for you to grip the knife very close to the cutting edge to transfer maximum force to the cutting movement. Thanks to the attached filings (jimping), you have an absolutely secure grip even in this position, and the knife never threatens to slip from your grasp thanks to the rough FRN surface of the handle. The steel plates are recessed in the handle material and generously milled out to save weight. An absolute highlight of the PM2s is the Compression Lock. At first glance, this locking technology looks like a rear-positioned liner lock - but a closer look reveals that this is not the case. With the Compression Lock, the liner moves between the blade root and the stop pin on the back. To destroy this lock, the steel liner between the blade root and the pin would have to be crushed, which is virtually impossible. This construction makes the Para Military 2 one of the most stable pocket knives the market has to offer. The blade is made of CTS BD-1N steel. The fully raised flat grind provides optimal cutting performance and the fine point allows you to do the finest detail work. Thanks to the reversible pocket clip on both sides, the knife is ideal for both right and left-handed users, while the large lanyard hole allows you to attach a safety strap.

Spyderco PITS 2 The Spyderco PITS 2 is one of those knives that makes you pause for a second and ask: “How exactly does this work?” – and that’s a big part of its appeal. Designed by British knifemaker Mike Read and named after his forum “Pie in the Sky” (PITS), this is a non-locking folder that is anything but ordinary. Instead of a traditional backspring, the PITS 2 uses two integrated spring arms built directly into the titanium handle scales. As you open the knife, they build tension and hold the blade securely in place. It sounds technical – because it is – but in everyday use, it feels surprisingly intuitive. Compared to the already legendary PITS 1, the concept has been significantly refined. The original was innovative, but the PITS 2 feels like a true evolution: cleaner, more precise, and mechanically more sophisticated. Less experiment, more fully realized tool. The blade is made from Böhler M390, delivering outstanding edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and thanks to its full flat grind, highly efficient cutting performance. The symmetrical design fits perfectly within Spyderco’s SLIPIT concept – no lock, but still safe and intuitive in use. A reversible pocket clip allows you to carry the knife exactly how you prefer. A knife for those who don’t just want to cut – but also appreciate clever, well-executed engineering.

Cobalt Blue – Subtle, but Distinct Sometimes you don’t need neon yellow or toxic green to stand out. This Spyderco UK Penknife comes in rich Cobalt Blue G10 – subtle enough for everyday carry, yet distinctive enough that you’ll enjoy pulling it out of your pocket. The UKPK was originally designed to comply with stricter European knife laws. It opens one-handed via the signature Spyderco Round Hole, but the blade does not lock. Instead, it relies on a strong back spring – a classic slipjoint construction. Functional, straightforward, and perfectly suited for daily use. The approximately 7.5 cm blade in this version is made from SPY27, Spyderco’s proprietary steel. It offers a well-balanced mix of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening – exactly what you want in real-world use. The high full flat grind ensures clean, efficient cutting performance rather than brute-force wedging. The G10 handle scales make the knife slightly heavier than the FRN version, but they also provide a noticeably more solid, premium feel in hand. More substance, without becoming bulky.

A Legend Returns Picture this: late 1990s. Shoulder pads, brick-sized cell phones – and two old friends from Brooklyn sitting at a bar, talking knives. Bob Terzuola, the “Godfather of Tactical Folders,” and Sal Glesser, founder of Spyderco, set out to merge their design philosophies into one folding knife. The result? The iconic Spyderco Starmate. And now, it’s back as a limited Sprint Run edition. The Starmate isn’t just another folder – it’s a piece of knife history you can carry. Terzuola’s original concept blended elements from his Advanced Technology Combat Folder with Spyderco’s CLIPIT platform. Sal Glesser helped bring that vision into full production. Together, they created a milestone in tactical folding knife design – and now celebrate more than 25 years of that legendary collaboration. In hand, you get a highly capable working knife featuring a CPM 20CV blade – known for outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. This is not a safe queen. It’s built to be used. The hollow-ground blade with an elegant swedge cuts efficiently while maintaining a bold, tactical profile. The signature Spyderco Round Hole allows for smooth one-handed opening, whether you’re right- or left-handed. The handle is made from textured black G-10 with nested stainless steel liners, delivering strength without unnecessary weight. A four-position pocket clip lets you configure carry exactly how you prefer – tip-up, tip-down, left, or right. There’s also a lanyard hole if you want to customize it further. On the reverse side of the blade, you’ll find a special detail: Terzuola’s engraved dragon head logo, inspired by the Mayan god of flint tools. It’s more than decoration – it’s a mark of knife culture history. The Starmate Sprint Run is produced only once and only in limited numbers. It comes with a durable nylon pouch and an information guide explaining the knife’s background. If you want to carry a true piece of modern knife legend in your daily life, this is it.

Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight – CTS BD1N Fifty years of Spyderco do not stand for nostalgia – they stand for evolution. Since 1976, the company from Golden, Colorado has shaped the modern folding knife like few others. The pocket clip, the iconic Round Hole, the Compression Lock – innovations that are standard today started here. The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight carries that legacy forward in a version deliberately optimized for real-world everyday carry. The Lightweight configuration replaces traditional G10 with fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle scales. This significantly reduces weight while maintaining structural strength and rigidity. The signature bi-directional texturing provides excellent grip in wet conditions, cold environments, or during demanding work tasks. The knife feels light in pocket, yet solid and controlled in hand – exactly what a serious EDC tool should deliver. This version features CTS BD1N steel (sometimes incorrectly referred to as “CTS1 B1”). BD1N is a nitrogen-enhanced evolution of CTS BD1. The addition of nitrogen improves corrosion resistance and promotes a finer, more uniform carbide structure. The result is a well-balanced performance steel offering strong edge retention, excellent rust resistance, and easy maintenance in the field. For everyday use – from humid coastal climates to workshop environments – BD1N proves to be highly practical and reliable. The blade retains the proven full-flat ground drop point profile, delivering clean slicing performance across cardboard, packaging, wood, cordage, and daily utility tasks. The pronounced thumb ramp with jimping adds extra control for precise cuts. The Paramilitary 2 is not built as a display piece – it is engineered as a working tool. At the core remains the Compression Lock, a Spyderco-designed mechanism that allows safe one-handed operation while keeping fingers clear of the blade path. Over decades of refinement, it has become one of the most respected locking systems in production knives, combining strength, reliability, and smooth functionality. As Spyderco celebrates its 50-year anniversary, the Paramilitary 2 Lightweight with CTS BD1N represents the company’s philosophy perfectly: continuous refinement instead of short-lived trends. A lightweight, technically mature EDC knife trusted worldwide and regarded as one of the most relevant everyday folding knives on the market. The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight CTS BD1N is not a stripped-down alternative – it is a purpose-driven evolution of a modern classic. Refined over five decades. Built for daily performance.

Spyderco UKPK UK Penknife Yellow Magnacut Blade Lightweight only 48 grams Yellow FRN handle scales UKPK goes Salt It's no big secret that the laws regarding knives and carrying them in public are much stricter in Europe than in the USA. However, Spyderco was one of the first major manufacturers to take on this problem and create a kind of European classic in its own range with the UKPK (UK Penknife), which even meets the very strict laws in the UK. Here two important factors come together: although you can open the UKPK - thanks to the Spyderholes - one-handed, but the blade is not locked in the open state, but is held by a powerful back spring (similar to a Swiss Army knife). This allows you to carry the UKPK perfectly legally. Yet despite its small size, lack of a lock, and extremely lightweight construction, the UKPK is a highly functional pocket knife. The thin blade proves to be a real cutting devil in everyday EDC use thanks to the raised flat grind and shows that Spyderco really had a cutting tool in mind here and not a folding crowbar. The Magnacut used in this version is extremely corrosion resistant and can therefore be used even under the most unfavorable conditions. The bright yellow FRN (Fiber Reinforced Nylon) handle scales, which you might no from other salt series knives, do not require steel plates underneath and ensure a construction that is as light as it is strong. At just 48 grams, the UKPK is hardly bulky in your pocket. The deep-carry pocket clip can be mounted on the left or right side, which makes the knife interesting for left-handers as well. All in all, you get with the UKPK a really highly suitable EDC pocket knife which not only complies with local legislation, but also proves to be a loyal companion.

Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel® Sprint Run – Celebrating 30 Years of Moran x Spyderco (FB01PGYD) If you’re looking for a knife that doesn’t just cut but carries a piece of history, this is it. This limited Sprint Run model celebrates the 30th anniversary of the very first collaboration between Spyderco and legendary bladesmith Bill Moran. History & Significance In 1995, Spyderco teamed up with William F. “Bill” Moran – co-founder of the American Bladesmith Society and one of the driving forces behind modern Damascus steel – to create the first fixed-blade Spyderco knife. The iconic “Featherlight” marked the beginning of a design partnership that changed the knife world. This anniversary edition pays tribute to that moment: classic Moran design, modern materials, and that special collector’s thrill only a true Sprint Run can deliver. What Does Sprint Run Mean? For Spyderco, a Sprint Run is a single, limited production batch of a specific configuration. Once this edition is sold out, it will not be produced again in this exact form. For collectors and fans of exclusive materials, Sprint Runs are the holy grail of production knives. Highlights of the Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel® Blade: Damasteel® Dense Twist DS93X – modern, stainless Damascus with striking pattern Grind: Full Flat Grind – lightweight, precise, and highly efficient Handle: Gray FRN with black Kraton inlays – lightweight, grippy, and practical Limited: Sprint Run = one-time, limited edition in this exact configuration Sheath: Premium leather sheath included Origin: Made in Japan Why This Knife Stands Out The Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel® Sprint Run brings together 30 years of knife history, an iconic design, and modern materials in a collectible anniversary edition. Ideal for collectors, outdoor users, and EDC enthusiasts alike – and a piece of Spyderco heritage you won’t see again in this configuration. Availability As with all Sprint Runs: once this edition is gone, it’s gone for good. If this knife is on your wish list, don’t wait too long.

Odd Spike Just when you think you’ve seen every knife shape, Spyderco comes around the corner with something truly quirky. The Spyderco COBO (a Paul Alexander design) is exactly the little freak in your collection that you might not have had – and that’s why you’ll love it. 42a compliant, a bit weird but extremely functional. The blade is classic Spyderco: sharp, reliable, and ready for anything your daily routine throws at it. And the titanium handle with integrated backspring? Feels better in the hand than you’d expect from such an unusual design. A knife that stands out – but not out of your pocket. If you’re looking for an EDC that brings a smile to your face and actually performs, the COBO will give you serious fun.
