Spyderco UK Penknife S110V Dark Blue C94DBL pocket knife

A cracking, low profile knife that’s U.K. legal. Slim & light with a very sharp, high grade steel blade, it folds with two positive stops at 90° & fully open. I carry it everywhere. Well worth a ton of anyone’s money.

Fantastically sharp, great edge retention Definitely recommend for a UK legal pocket knife/EDC

Spyderco s110V ukpk I stumbled upon a video on the performance of s110v and decided to take a chance on this knife and am more than impressed. Well packaged and came shaving sharp. I work in a garage restoring old cars, cutting thick rubber hoses, tyre valves, seals, trimming plastic, making gaskets, breaking down packaging etc. Particuarly impressed at how easily it cuts through a reinforced drive belt and towing straps. This knife is a precision slicer with exceptional edge retention. I have of course treated this knife with care not to shock or twist the blade and wiped clean when wet. The handle scales have not reacted with any of the solvents, oils or chemicals in the workshop. So far I have not needed to properly sharpen the blade and have only stropped it once with 1 micron diamond compound. When I do eventually need to fully sharpen I intend to embrace the toothy qualities of this steel with a diamond stone. As a professional tradesman my toolbox is full of expensive tools for specific jobs so I feel the price is acceptable when this knife has such a broad range of uses and works consistently. I can only give 4 stars in price vs quality as I do not own any other knives at this tier for a fair comparison. As a bonus this knife is advertised as uk legal so I carry it even when I'm not at work. This is the only non locking design I would consider as the mechanism is strong enough whilst still enabling one handed opening and the blade coil is added security.

A bit lighter than expected but not to its detriment. Easy to open one handed but closing needs more practice if to remain unscathed. Very sharp and I like the finger choil. Sharpening? I wouldn’t know yet and am hesitant, bearing in mind comments I have read. Looks like some expensive stones required. Would prefer a side lock, if not for the U.K. law. Am I disappointed, NO. Would I buy again, YES.
