Spyderco Slipjoint knife: traditional functionality with a modern touch

Spyderco slipjoint knives are a cool, modern interpretation of an ancient concept. Slipjoint pocket knives belong to some of the oldest designs in the world. Unlike fully lockable pocket knives, slipjoint knives only offer resistance to shutting without completely locking the blade. This makes them not only functional, but also legal to wear in many places. This is great, because laws do change sometimes.

Features of Spyderco Slipjoint knives

Spyderco's slipjoint series offers a clever blend of traditional simplicity and modern performance. Designed for everyday use (EDC), these knives are an ideal choice for places with strict regulations.

What is a slipjoint pocket knife?

A slipjoint knife is a pocket knife without a full locking mechanism. The blade is held open by a spring mechanism that provides enough resistance to keep the knife safely open when you use it. However, when additional force is applied, the blade collapses, so it's not a full lock like a frame-lock.

This has two important advantages:

Simplicity: it's a reliable and user-friendly system.

Safety: it prevents the blade from snapping shut during use, but is easy to close when you want to close the knife.

Legal to carry in many places

Because slipjoint knives do not have a full locking mechanism, they are often legal to carry in areas where locking knives are not allowed. This makes them a popular choice for everyday carry (EDC) in places with strict knife legislation.
