Spyderco Metropolitan Lightweight PlainEdge

Description

The extremely popular SLIPIT models from Spyderco combine the convenience of everyday carry and one-handed opening with the advantages of a non-locking blade. The newest member of this proud family is the Metropolitan. It has a size that fits perfectly between the groundbreaking UK Penknife and the compact Urban, and offers all the same performance features, including the brand’s signature thumb hole for easy one-handed opening with either hand, a clip for convenient pocket carry and a non-locking notch joint mechanism. The fully flat ground, leaf-shaped blade is made of M398 from Böhler-Uddeholm, an advanced, particle metallurgical stainless steel that offers extreme hardness and edge retention. The blade features a textured index finger choil for added safety and is equipped with a lightweight handle made of injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). With reversible tip-up clip. Warning and safety information:Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
