Full-size EDC knifeSturdy Ball Bearing Lock Black G10 handle scales and a MagnaMax blade. Eric's first design – now with a MagnaMax steel upgrade Spyderco has been a family-run business from the very beginning. In the early days, the company practically consisted of Sal Glesser and his wife, traveling across the country in a bus and attending trade shows. Today, Spyderco is based in Golden, Colorado, and has become one of the leading pocket knife manufacturers in the USA. Alongside Sal Glesser, his son Eric has taken on a major role in leading the company. And his very first design, the Manix 2, was an instant hit. The Manix 2 is definitely one of those Spyderco knives that you pick up and simply don't want to put back down. Its ergonomic design offers an incredibly comfortable grip, making the knife feel almost glued to your hand while working. The handle scales are made from virtually indestructible G10 and sit on two solid steel liners, giving the knife plenty of strength and durability. One of the key features of the Manix 2 is the Ball Bearing Lock. A centrally positioned spring pushes a thick steel ball, housed in a polymer cage, against the blade tang, preventing the blade from accidentally folding back in. This lock is not only incredibly strong, but also provides a completely unique operating feel. The blade action has a smooth, controlled resistance, resulting in an exceptionally precise and controlled deployment. The leaf-shaped blade of the Manix 2, originally made from CPM S30V, has now been upgraded to MagnaMax steel. As you would expect from Spyderco, the blade is opened using the large trademark thumb hole. Thanks to the blade tip being positioned directly along the knife's centerline, the Manix 2 offers maximum control during use, allowing for highly precise cutting tasks. The full flat grind provides excellent cutting performance, making this folder a genuine pleasure to work with.

Spyderco Smock Hollow ground CPM S30V blade. Compression lock as a push button in the handle. Kevin Smock design Lightweight only 105 grams. Spyderco Smock: function meets design. Welcome the Spyderco Smock to your knife collection. This special piece was created through a creative collaboration with Kevin Smock, an established industrial designer who is highly regarded for his custom handcrafted pocket knives. The meeting of solid craftsmanship and modern design creates the Spyderco Smock, a knife no good collection should be without. The Spyderco Smock shines with its finely crafted hollow-ground blade made of CPM S30V steel, which is a subtle marriage of traditionalism and modernity. It features Spyderco's signature round hole as well as an elegantly integrated flipper opener. A pair of measure-machined ball bearing pivot washers and a separate detent mechanism allow the knife to be operated effortlessly and independently of the lock. Here, less is clearly more. What really sets the Smock apart, however, is the push-button release of its high-strength compression lock mechanism. This allows for safe and easy closing of the knife without having to get your fingers near the edge of the blade.An innovative feature that sets the Smock apart from other knives. This knife's lightweight, skeletonized handle features full stainless steel liners, textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales and a reversible, tip-up pocket clip for ambidextrous comfort. The "speedholes" give the handle a modern shape that fits universally. With a weight of only 105 grams and its distinctive design, the Spyderco Smock is a pocket knife that is easy to carry in your pocket while having the ruggedness of a tank. As part of Spyderco's top-of-the-line line, the Smock is manufactured in Taichung, Taiwan, a mark of superior manufacturing quality and precision. The Spyderco Smock not only embodies the practical side of a pocket knife, it is also a quiet tribute to the creative brilliance and distinctive design of Kevin Smock. The knife embodies a certain fascination that piques the curiosity of knife lovers without being overbearing. It transcends the everyday, it is a fine expression of design and functionality - that is the Spyderco Smock..

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!
Legal, corrosion-resistant and eye-catching – the UKPK Salt in MagnaCut Question: what is bright yellow, extremely corrosion-resistant and a pretty sharp affair? Bingo! The UKPK Salt (C94PYL) with a blade made from CPM MagnaCut – Spyderco's first non-locking knife in the legendary Salt Series. Fully legal to carry – in the UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland It's no secret that knife laws in Europe are significantly stricter than in the USA. As one of the first major manufacturers to address this, Spyderco created the UKPK (UK Penknife) – a true European classic that even meets the very strict knife laws in Great Britain. Two factors make the UKPK so special: while the blade opens one-handed via the Spyderhole, it does not lock in the open position. Instead, a strong backspring (slipjoint) holds the blade – the same principle as a classic Swiss Army knife. This makes the UKPK §42a-compliant in Germany and fully legal to carry in the UK under the Criminal Justice Act 1988. Why MagnaCut? Our steel recommendation from the Knife Lounge As an owner-run knife shop in Hamburg, we've handled the UKPK in every steel variant available. MagnaCut, developed by metallurgist Larrin Thomas, combines precisely calibrated amounts of chromium, vanadium and niobium – the result is a steel that is significantly more corrosion-resistant and better at holding an edge than most other stainless steels. In everyday carry terms: it stays sharp, even in wet or salty conditions. Steel Edge retention Corrosion resistance Sharpenability CPM MagnaCut ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★☆ CPM SPY27 ★★★★☆ ★★★★☆ ★★★★★ CTS BD1 ★★★☆☆ ★★★★☆ ★★★★★ LC200-N ★★★☆☆ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Small but mighty – highly functional EDC without a lock At just 48 grams and with a 74mm blade, the UKPK barely registers in your pocket. The thin blade with its full flat grind is a genuine slicer in everyday use – Spyderco didn't build a gadget here, but a serious cutting tool. The characteristic slipjoint click at full open and half-close gives you clear feedback on the blade's position at all times. The choil at the base of the blade gives your index finger additional control. The bright yellow FRN handles (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) are built without steel liners – lightweight yet stable. The yellow colour also has a practical advantage: the knife won't disappear at the bottom of a bag or backpack. The deep-carry wire clip is reversible and mountable on either side, making the UKPK fully suitable for left-handed users. Frequently asked questions about the Spyderco UK Penknife C94PYL Is the UKPK C94PYL legal to carry in the UK? Yes, fully. Under the Criminal Justice Act 1988, a non-locking folding knife with a blade under 3 inches (76mm) is legal to carry in the UK. The UKPK has a 74mm blade and no locking mechanism – it was specifically designed to meet these requirements. Is the UKPK legal to carry in Germany? Yes, fully. Because the blade is held open by a backspring rather than a lock, the UKPK is §42a-compliant under German weapons law. It is one of the very few one-hand-opening knives that meets this requirement. What is the difference between MagnaCut and LC200-N? Both steels offer excellent corrosion resistance and are well suited to wet environments. MagnaCut provides significantly better edge retention and toughness, but requires a little more effort to sharpen. Choose MagnaCut for maximum cutting performance; choose LC200-N if you prefer quick touch-ups with a simple ceramic rod. What is the Salt Series? Spyderco's Salt Series is their line of maximum corrosion-resistance knives, originally developed for marine, diving and coastal use. The C94PYL is the first non-locking knife in the Salt Series. Is the UKPK suitable for left-handed users? Yes. The wire clip is reversible and can be mounted on either side. The Spyderhole works equally well with the left thumb. How do I sharpen a MagnaCut blade? MagnaCut runs at approximately 61–63 HRC. A basic honing steel won't be sufficient – we recommend a whetstone (400–1000 grit) or a quality ceramic rod with some patience. For day-to-day maintenance, stropping on leather will keep the edge going significantly longer between full sharpenings. Where does the name "UK Penknife" come from? The UKPK was originally developed for the British market, where one-hand-opening locking knives are prohibited in public. Spyderco created a fully legal everyday carry knife that still offers all modern EDC features – and it quickly became a favourite across Europe too.

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.

Spyderco was founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser in Golden, Colorado. What started as a small booth at trade shows has grown into one of the most influential brands in the knife industry. Today the company is run by son Eric Glesser in its second generation, with the same attention to detail as on day one.
In 1981, Spyderco was the first manufacturer to add a pocket clip to a folding knife. It's standard today, but back then it was a small revolution. Just as well known: the Spyderhole, the round hole in the blade. It lets you open the knife with a single finger, no nail nick or flipper needed.
Many Spyderco models are one-hand-opening knives with a locking mechanism, such as a Compression Lock or Liner Lock. Carry laws for locking one-hand knives differ by country, so always check your local regulations before carrying one in public. For everyday carry without that restriction, Spyderco also builds slipjoint models like the UK Penknife: they open one-handed via the Spyderhole but don't lock, which makes them legal to carry in most of Europe, including Germany and the UK.
Are Spyderco knives legal to own?
Ownership is legal everywhere we ship. Carrying a knife in public depends on the model and your local laws: locking one-hand knives often face restrictions, while slipjoints like the UK Penknife are generally allowed.
Which Spyderco model can I carry without restrictions?
The UK Penknife is the best known choice. The Lil Native Slipjoint, the Metropolitan Lightweight, and the Urban Lightweight are also non-locking slipjoints.
What is the Spyderhole?
The round hole in the blade that lets you open the knife one-handed with your thumb. It's a Spyderco invention and the brand's best known feature.
What's the difference between the Paramilitary 2 and the Para 3?
Both share the same build and the Compression Lock. The Para 3 is the more compact version, with a shorter blade and smaller handle, but the same DNA.
Where are Spyderco knives made?
Mainly in Golden, Colorado, USA. Spyderco also manufactures in Japan, Italy, and Taiwan, depending on the model.
Do you offer custom scales for Spyderco knives?
Yes. For the UK Penknife, we carry exclusive titanium scales from Daily Customs Hamburg, available only at Knife Lounge.
