Spyderco Metropolitan Lightweight – Elegance and Functionality in M398 Steel

The Spyderco Metropolitan Lightweight is a modern and versatile pocket knife designed for everyday carry (EDC) users who value ultra-lightweight and exceptional functionality. This knife combines elegant design with the highest quality steel, while still meeting the requirements of a “legally friendly” knife thanks to its SLIPIT construction.

The Metropolitan Lightweight is built for unobtrusive performance:

- Premium M398 Powder Steel: The 7 cm blade is made from Böhler Uddeholm M398, a high-quality powder steel known for its exceptional edge retention and wear resistance. The combination with the full flat grind ensures that the blade cuts smoothly and efficiently through a wide range of materials. The hardness of 61 RC guarantees long-lasting performance.
- SLIPIT ‘Notched Joint’ (Slipjoint): This knife uses a notched joint construction instead of a traditional locking mechanism. This system combines the safety of a slipjoint with the convenience of the familiar Spyderco thumb hole, allowing the blade to be opened effortlessly with one hand.
- Ultra-light FRN Handle: The handle is made of fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). This composite material makes the knife sturdy and durable, while keeping the total weight extremely low at only 55 grams.
- Comfortable Carry: With a closed length of only 9.4 cm, the knife is very compact. The reversible deep-pocket wire clip allows for discreet, tip-up carry for both left- and right-handed users.

The Metropolitan Lightweight is an excellent EDC for general everyday cutting tasks. Its legally friendly slipjoint construction makes it a good option for people who live or work in environments with stricter knife laws.

This knife is ideal for EDC enthusiasts, city dwellers, and professionals looking for a reliable, high-quality, and elegant knife that can be carried discreetly and offers superior cutting performance. The emphasis on lightweight and premium M398 steel appeals to the discerning user.

The Spyderco Metropolitan Lightweight is a masterpiece of modern knife design. The combination of top-of-the-line M398 powder steel, secure slip joint construction, and ultra-lightweight FRN handle makes this one of the most elegant and functional EDC knives in its class.
