The Spyderco Metropolitan Lightweight is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry where a non-locking blade is preferred or required. Its 2.68-inch leaf-shaped blade is full-flat ground from M398 particle metallurgy stainless steel, and the SlipIt notched-joint mechanism keeps the blade open under hand pressure without a lock.

The black fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle scales keep the knife light, while the trademark Round Hole allows ambidextrous one-handed opening. A textured index-finger choil adds control, and the deep-pocket wire clip can be configured for left or right-side tip-up carry.
