Metropolitan

Spyderco’s immensely popular SLIPIT™ models combine the convenience of clip carry and one-hand opening with the social and legal friendliness of a non-locking blade. The newest member of this proud family is the Metropolitan. Sized to fit perfectly between our trailblazing UK Penknife™ and the compact Urban™, it proudly offers all the same performance qualities, including a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole for easy one-handed opening with either hand, a clip for convenient top-of-the-pocket carry, and a non-locking, notched-joint mechanism. Its full-flat-ground leaf-shaped blade is crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm’s M398—an advanced particle metallurgy stainless steel capable of achieving extreme hardness and edge retention. The blade includes a textured index-finger choil as an extra margin of safety and is paired with a lightweight handle built with injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales. To balance discreet carry and easy access, the textured scales are home to a deep-pocket wire clip that is easily configured for left or right-side tip-up carry.
