UK Penkife - CPM S110V

So I purchased this UKPk by Spyderco about a week ago and have edc this for 5 days at this point. I must say it's a sweet little folding knife. This is my second Spyderco product, first being a vg10 dragonfly that came from Amazon too. This UKPK show up prime as promised from a company called hardware sales through Amazon. The knife is legit genuine Spyderco not a fake. This knife has the com s110v steel blade and it's sharp as a lightsaber. This is my first time experiencing this steel and as some have said it's different but awesome. This steel doesn't seem to accept a polished edge but is plenty sharp and I don't necessarily have to have a polished edge. This knife cuts like nobody's business. The edge grind is even, fit and finish is on point, blade centering is spot on. I can't find anything to complain on or dislike. The FRN handles on this one are not as rough as my dragonfly but I really like it. When I would reach in my pocket for keys the dragonfly scales would scrap up the back of my hand, the UKPK doesn't. Overall great knife folks, don't hesitate to try this one out if your looking for a sub 3" blade non locking folding knife. Thanks for reading my review and putting up with my ramblings from a fellow knife enthusiast. I did not receive this knife for free or at a reduced rate for exchange for a review, purchased with my own hard earned money. Thanks

This is NOT a hard use blade. You won't be batoning with it, or taking it on your hunting trip. It IS a bizarrely nice little option for dropping in your pocket as an every day utility cutter. It doesn't lock, yet it doesn't feel unsafe if you're handling it with appropriate use. It has enough edge length to break down boxes if needed, and the handle feels nice to hold during light duty tasks. The handle is nylon with no metal liners, which is a little strange if you're used to having brass or steel to hold onto. However, for what this knife is designed to do, that's perfectly fine. Opening letters, cutting tape or foam, breaking down the odd box or two. It'll do all that, and Spyderco put on a pretty decent edge that should last a while due to the composition of the blade steel. The biggest positive of this knife is that it weighs next to nothing.

Bought this for a trip to England as it complies with the laws there. Has a catch point mid way on closing it as a safety since it isn't a lock blade. Good quality and sharpness

It's a beautiful monster that wants and is made only to please to the highest demands. Gorgeous, eye-catching blade. I can't say enough about the precision and quality of materials, manufacture and presentation. All PERFECT. My caveat lies in the unfamiliarity that this style of deployment displays. Three distinct states of "blade position": 1: Closed. 2: Half open 3: Open. All three take a deceptively large amount of force to move from one state to the next, both in opening and closing directions. I like the half open state when closing. Saves the fingers from one BEASTLY spring-force. I Hate the half-open state when deploying. Feels like i'm operating a high end umbrella. The half open state in my non-practiced hands feels almost alien to me and, at the moment, completely deletes any "Smooth operation" I might hope for in a knife I will be using dozens of times a day. Will add a light kiss of 3 in 1 oil and hope it breaks in well enough to be comfortable to deploy and stow without too much deliberate fumbling. That gripe aside, this is a magic knife. Because Marvel's adamantium is a fairytale, we will never have it in our hands, but this CPM S110 V steel is as close as we will ever get, being stainless to boot means, though you will undoubtedly periodically do maintenance on it because you're a gizmo geek and it's a friggin SPYDERCO knife, the knife just appreciates your effort while silently needing not a damn bit of your pampering. You wont even need to feed it! (just don't PRY with the point for crying out loud or you'll be watching youtube videos on how to work, form and sharpen a metal that LAUGHS at ceramic abrasives through eyes full of sour tears) DON'T PRY WITH THE TIP

I have about 25 different spyderco knives, yeah I have a problem. I started with the Atlantic salt looking for a fishing knife and it grew from there. This ukpk is very light, and the 110v steel is awesome. It is very durable and holds an edge for a long time. Some people have issues sharpening this steel but really it only takes a few extra passes through the sharpmaker. I have not found it to be difficult to sharpen. The 110v is my favorite steel and the dark blue frn handle is very nice. I live in a very restrictive city where a blade can’t lock or be over 3 inches. It does have a safety stop when closing to protect your fingers. This is a perfect edc knife that I can’t recommend enough.

es ist schlank, sehr spitz, sehr scharf, und superleicht - wer "EDC" wirklich ernst nimmt, wird das zu schätzen wissen. Man muss danach tasten, um sicher zu sein, dass man es trägt. Es ist simpel aufgebaut, wirkt aber nicht billig, es liegt gut in der Hand und bietet sicheren "Grip". Eine echte Verriegelung wurde hier durch einen doppelten "Detent" mit ganz klaren Druckpunkten ersetzt (in voll ausgeklapptem Zustand und nochmal auf 90° beim Ein-/Ausklappen) - was das ganze dann sogar für Deutschland zu einem legalen Messer machen dürfte. Dazu noch ein Halteclip im Büroklammer-Stil, der den petrolfarbenen Griff praktisch komplett in der Tasche verschwinden lässt - fertig ist das perfekte Messer für jeden, dessen täglicher Überlebenskampf vor allem im Büro stattfindet und bei dem auch einfache Dinge schon mal etwas mehr kosten dürfen (S110V !)....falls man sich zufällig mal drüber unterhält.

Lovely and light

Ein schönes Messerchen das dazu noch wahnsinnig leicht ist. Auch die Ergonomie ist für diese Größe von Messer sehr gut. Wenn man bereit ist so viel Geld für ein kleines Taschenmesser auszugeben wird man nicht Enttäuscht sein.

Great knife - probably under priced when I bought it.

Hervorragende Wahl, wenn man gerne 42a-legal in Deutschland unterwegs sein möchte, aber ein einhändig zu öffnendes Messer bevorzugt. Öffnung geht hervorragend von der Hand, Handlage ist super, Schärfe ab Werk ist hervorragend. Der S110V Stahl hält die Schärfe hervorragend, das Messer ist ein Leichtgewicht und fällt in der Hosentasche kaum negativ auf. Die blauen Griffschalen sind evtl. Geschmackssache, aber solange Spyderco die Titan-Version nicht mit diesem Stahl wieder aufleben lässt, ist das hier mit die beste Lösung für das Problem 42a und Einhandmesser.
