This is a NEW Numbered SPYDERCO C94SGY3
GIN-1 UK Grey Penknife Knife. It is Collectors Club knife numbered 161 of 200.
We want variety!" It's an
often heard sentiment from knife customers and is why Spyderco offered several
bestsellers with different handle options. Knife nuts wanting the
lightest-weight folders available, gravitate to FRN or fiberglass reinforced
nylon handles. Ultra-light FRN is warp resistant, shuns chemicals, and isn't
affected by temperature extremes.
Spyderco's non-locking, one-hand
open, clip carry folders are called SLIPITS. Starting in 2004, Spyderco
launched a folding knife model called the UK Penknife, targeted for carry in
the United Kingdom where newly imposed legal restrictions forbade folding
knives with locking blades. As the SLIPIT concept gains momentum Spyderco keeps
expanding the line with folders in varying sizes, steels and handles. Newly
added are Lightweight SLIPITS.
Lightweight UK Penknife blades
are held open by a notched-joint at the knife's pivot. When closing the blade the notch produces
resistance functionally similar to traditional slip-joint penknives. Heightening
control and comfort, Spyderco designers added a deep finger choil positioning
the index finger on the bottom of the blade directly under the thumb. This lets
you choke up near the cutting edge with comfort and dexterity. A tension-wire
clip carries the folder deeply in a pocket, tip-up and ambidextrously.
How is this for variety, the
Lightweight Penknife comes with a GIN-1 Drop Point or Leaf Shaped blade (both
hollow-ground) in three edge configuration choices, PlainEdge, SpyderEdge and
CombinationEdge. Also in your preference of a blue, gray or maroon FRN handle. A
UK Lightweight Rescue is also available with a safety-orange FRN handle and
fully Spyderedged blade
Built in 2010 the
C94SGY3 GIN-1 UK Penknife has Grey FRN handle scales.
