This is a discontinued C179PBK SPYDERCO SPY-DK folding Knife, Collectors
Club knife numbered 161 of 200.
The Spy-DK is based on the
platform of Spyderco’s revolutionary UK Penknife, but specially modified to
allow it to conform with Danish knife laws. Its blade is full-flat ground from
Böhler-Uddeholm’s premium N690Co stainless steel, but its length is reduced to
68mm (2.69 inches). The Trademark Round Hole clearly identifies it as a
Spyderco knife and provides a handy purchase for two-handed opening, but the
hole is purposely small to prevent one-handed blade-opening methods. Its stout
notched-joint mechanism is also powered by a strong spring that helps hold the
blade securely in the open and closed positions, supporting its safe use as a
cutting tool while precluding one-handed opening.
The Spy-DK’s lightweight handle
is constructed of injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales
attached directly to the stainless steel back spacer/spring. The molded
checkered pattern on the scales and a textured index-finger choil at the juncture
of the blade and handle ensure a secure grip and allow the user’s index finger
to serve as a natural stop to prevent unintentional closure during use. A
reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides both left and right-side tip-up
carry, keeping the knife accessible for immediate use while naturally blending
with virtually any color of clothing.
Although created to conform with
Danish knife laws, the Spy-DK’s highly functional design and socially friendly
demeanor make it a perfect choice for knife users everywhere. It combines
convenient clip carry and a purposeful two-hand-opening into a design that
redefines the non-locking pocketknife.
The C179PBK SPY-DK was manufactured in 2014.
This is a new in original box Collector
Club knife numbered 161 of 200, that has sat in a collection untouched for over
10 years.
