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.

Metropolitan - go anywhere knife

This is a small knife, a very capable knife with excellent steel. It is just a touch larger than the older Urban and just a little easier to open. I can't believe this steel is available at this price point. I wish Spyderco, who has introduced a wide variety of fantastic steels, would bring a larger knife in M398 to the market. For me, this knife is superior to the UK Penknife and any slipjoint variety in Magnacut simply because of the steel. This is the knife I can go anywhere with including Europe. National Knives remains my "go to" online store for great prices and quick delivery.
