SP94SGY3: UK Penknife | Gray FRN | Drop Point Blade SpyderEdge
Spyderco

“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 where newly imposed legal restrictions forbade folding knives with locking blades.

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.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Handle Feel, Weight, Blade Material, None
Cons: Pocket Clip, Lock Type
it's fine
I use a small knife everyday for many odd jobs. I misplaced my old reliable and purchased this one. the clip is average to poor on the side, the blade is very sharp and performs well. What I was not aware of was the blade did not "lock" open so the tendency to come back and chance cutting me does happen. I since purchased another knife and will add this one to my drawer of knives.

Spyderco 3" Drop Point Folder is a good knife
Spyderco produces great "value" knives. For a quite reasonable price, you can have a knife that performs very well. I keep this knife in a Coaching Gear Bag - to solve the "emergent issues" that arise every day with coaching High School athletes. Although, since I am usually cutting strings, cords, fabric, pads, etc..., I probably did not need the serrated blade (better for flesh). However, if you needed to field-dress game, this Spyderco would be ready for the challenge. The blade is extremely sharp, and appears to hold an edge. Weight - Grip - Strength of Blade - Ability to hold an edge - all very good. Since it is the UK model, it does not truly "lock" - although is "holds" in the fully open position well, but caution is warranted, if you need a locking blade. It has a great grip, and a really nice clip (better than many other brands). This is a "grown up" knife. Teach the next generation well.
