UK Pen Knife - CPM S110V
The knife may be man’s oldest tool but today it is governed by different carry restrictions in nearly every country in the world. It seems: “if man makes it, he must legislate it”. This is particularly true regarding pocketknives in the United Kingdom where legal guidelines govern the size and function of all pocketknives carried in public. One of these parameters is that folding knives not have blades that lock open. Spyderco addressed this by developing a non-locking folder expressly for the UK called the UK Penknife. The blade is held open by a notched-joint at the knife’s pivot. When closing the blade the notch produces roughly twenty-pounds of resistance, functionally similar to traditional slip-joint penknives. To achieve a heightened sense of 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 nearer the cutting edge with comfort and dexterity.
The latest version of this incredibly popular design raises the bar even higher, combining all its proven features with the extreme cutting performance and edge retention of premium CPM S110V blade steel.
Crucible’s CPM S110V is a powder metallurgy steel enriched with high amounts of vanadium and niobium—alloys that give it exceptional wear resistance and higher corrosion resistance than many other stainless steels. The UK Pen Knife’s full-flat-ground blade translates to best-in-class cutting performance and outstanding edge retention. True to Spyderco form, the blade also features a Trademark Round Hole for quick, reliable one-handed opening with either hand.
The handle is available in a lightweight FRN (Fiberglas Reinforced Nylon) boast the deep blue color reserved for Spyderco’s elite family of CPM S110V knives with a tension-wire clip that carries deeply in the pocket, tip-up and either left or right-handed.
