Product Description

The Spyderco Metropolitan™ Lightweight SLIPIT™ C213PBK is a masterclass in legally-compliant, high-performance EDC. Designed for users in regions with restrictive knife laws, the Metropolitan utilizes Spyderco’s refined SLIPIT™ mechanism—a non-locking notched-joint design that provides a secure "stay-open" feel during use without a mechanical lock. This Reveal 18 model is elevated by a 2.7" blade crafted from Bohler M398, an ultra-high-alloy powder metallurgy steel that pushes the boundaries of edge retention and corrosion resistance far beyond traditional stainless steels.

The handle is injection-molded from Black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), offering a lightweight yet incredibly durable chassis. The ergonomic profile and Bi-Directional Texturing™ ensure an unshakeable grip, even in wet conditions. With its deep-pocket wire clip and slim, linerless construction, the Metropolitan disappears in the pocket, making it the ultimate "gentleman’s tactical" tool for the modern, safety-conscious traveler or professional.

• Bohler M398 Microclean® Steel: An elite evolution of M390, this third-generation powder metallurgy steel offers world-class edge longevity and superior rust resistance.

• Legal-Friendly SLIPIT™ Mechanism: A non-locking notched joint combined with a 50/50 finger choil provides a secure, legally-compliant "stay-open" experience in most jurisdictions.

• Ultra-Lightweight Black FRN: High-strength, injection-molded handle scales provide a comfortable, high-traction grip while keeping the total weight to a minimum.

• Precision Leaf-Shaped Blade: The 2.7" satin-finished blade features a full-flat grind for surgical slicing performance and a versatile utility point.

• Reversible Deep-Pocket Wire Clip: Designed for discreet, tip-up carry on either the left or right side, ensuring the knife remains low-profile and easily accessible.
