Spyderco’s Metropolitan is the latest addition to the SLIPIT™ family—non-locking folders designed for ease of carry, one-handed use, and compliance with restrictive knife laws. Sitting comfortably in size between the UK Penknife™ and the Urban™, the Metropolitan keeps the same thoughtful features: a fully ambidextrous Trademark Round Hole, a top-of-pocket wire clip, and a notched-joint slipjoint mechanism that provides secure, non-locking blade retention. Its full-flat-ground, leaf-shaped blade is made from high-performance Böhler M398 steel, known for its exceptional hardness and long-lasting edge retention. A textured choil adds safety during use, while the lightweight FRN handle offers grip, durability, and a balanced feel. With a reversible deep-carry clip, the Metropolitan is designed for subtle, secure everyday carry—making it a solid choice for users who need performance without the complications of a locking blade.
