I already had a para 3, and love the knife, but wanted something I can legally carry in the UK. Pocket clip, sharp out of the box, lightweight and does the job with ease.Īs always superb service from Heinnie Hayes This is going to be my main EDC UK legal knife and it's superb. I love the shape of the blade, I much prefer this style to the standard blade (nothing wrong with the standard though). I've waited and waited for this to be in stock. It is a beautiful little knife, light, very well put together and razor sharp, as I said it certainly doesn't dissappoint and I'm eagerly awaiting the HH UK legal version to come in stock, not too long I hope It's my first Spyderco, I have enough of another American brand that I can't carry because they lock so I didn/t want to buy any that I couldn't carry. Seems like it's been a long time waiting for this to be back in stock and I wasn't dissappointed by it. Posted by Philip Greenhill on 21st Jul 2021 When I was deployed to some inhospitable corners of the world, carrying more fire power than a whole infantry company during the battle of the Somme, nobody seemed to be concerned about that. Now, since I am retired, and disabled, I often ponder the irony, that I have to be thinking about what kind of knife I can put in my pocket, so I don't get arrested. While I prefer my Para3, if I have to be politically correct, this knife is as good as it gets as a UK Legal EDC. One of my favourite edc knives, super lightweight yet feels sturdy and so good in hand, nice smooth opening and crisp snap shut. Also purchased a couple of lock knives from HH one of which is the rat D2 (locking) which quality wise knocks the spots off this Spyderco, however I wanted something more uk legal & the ukpk does have good points, the design is excellent for a slip joint, & it is very light weight in the pocket, it’s also excellent for slicing, food etc I’d even say slightly better than my Opinel no8 (£9 knife) I did wait a while to see if the H/H version of this was ever coming back in stock I’m sure the handle quality is better, in general, would I buy another Spyderco, No totally over priced & over rated, If I hadn’t bought this from H/H I would have thought it was a cheap Chinese rip off, for a knife that cost £80 unbelievably disappointing, the handle feels like a cheap plastic toy (frn) I have several victorinox which knock the spots off this for build quality. Also really like the drop point blade shape on the UKPK - highly recommend for a daily carry. Really nicely made, lightweight and ultra sharp. This version has a CTS BD1N blade steel and black FRN handle. A tension-wire clip carries the folder deeply in a pocket, tip-up and ambidextrously. This lets you choke up near the cutting edge with comfort and dexterity. 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. When closing the blade the notch produces resistance functionally similar to traditional slip-joint penknives. Lightweight UK Penknife blades are held open by a notched-joint at the knife's pivot. As the SLIPIT concept gains momentum Spyderco keeps expanding the line with folders in varying sizes, steels and handles. Starting in 2004, Spyderco launched a folding knife model called the UK Penknife, targeted for carry in the United Kingdom. Spyderco's non-locking, one-hand open, clip carry folders are called SLIPITS. Ultra- light FRN is warp resistant, shuns chemicals, and isn't affected by temperature extremes. Knife nuts wanting the lightest- weight folders available, gravitate to FRN or fiberglass reinforced nylon handles. We want variety!" It's an often heard sentiment from knife customers and is why Spyderco offers several bestsellers with different handle options. This is Spyderco's famous UK Penknife (UKPK) with FRN handles and a drop point balde with a flat grind.
