Spyderco Urban Lightweight Black PlainEdge (C127PBK)

Urban Lightweight Black Plain, manufactured in Maniago (Italy), popular Urban Slipit folding knife made by Spyderco Company. Equipped with a non-blocking blade mechanism that is legal in most countries. An excellent choice for those looking for a stylish, functional everyday cutting tool, EDC. The cutting capabilities of the knife are surprising compared to its fine appearance.

Slipit - the most common non-blocking mechanism used in folders. It uses an improved spring mechanism with notches (notchet-joint spring mechanism) to keep the blade open during use. When folding incisions, they generate liquid resistance like a knife equipped with a traditional blockade. Slipit folders are also equipped with (finger choil) undercutting the index finger between the handle and the cutting edge, preventing the accidental closing of the blade.

Blade - thickness 2.9 mm with Leaf-Shaped profile (leaf shape). Made of high-strength, rugged high-grade N690Co stainless steel with a hardness of 58 HRC, manufactured at the Austrian Böhler steelworks. Smooth blade (Plain type) was made with full flat cut (Full Flat Grind). The flat cut guarantees excellent cutting edge geometry with a sharp tip, reduces the weight of the knife and presents a beautiful satin finish. The SpyderHole round cutout (Spyderco patent) has increased the hump of support for the ramp, which places the thumb directly above the hole, making it easier to open the blade quickly with cold or wet hands. Ribbed supports: ramp under the thumb (spine jimping) and finger choil jimping, undercutting the index finger between the handle and the cutting edge make it easier to control the knife.

Handle - textured black cladding. Made of FRN material (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), fiberglass reinforced nylon. Covers are attached to a solid spacer (backspacer / handle clutch) made of stainless steel, which provides structural strength and serves as a spring for the knife non-locking mechanism. The folder is equipped with a wire made, screwed clip (left / right-handed) allowing to carry the knife in the tip-down position.
