This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
UK Penknife Salt FRN Yellow LC200N Plain, Spyderco has developed a UK version of the folding knife after the UK banned folders with locking wedges. Featuring a Slip-Joint mechanism, a great tool for most cutting jobs, socially friendly and legal in most countries. Made in Spyderco factory in USA (Golden, Colorado).
SlipJoint - a non-locking mechanism used in folders. Uses spring pressure on a flat notch on the back of the blade to hold the blade open during use. Force is required to fold the knife. The SlipJoint holds the blade in both the folded and unfolded positions.
LC200N - (also known as Z-Flint) ultra corrosion resistant modern high nitrogen martensitic tool steel. Quite hard 60 HRC, it provides a combination of excellent strength, edge holding, chipping resistance and extreme corrosion resistance. Produced by combining the PESR (pressurized electric slag remelting) process and smart forging technology, resulting in an incredible increase in steel purity and a very fine, uniform microstructure. Used by NASA for aerospace ball bearings, among others. Contains 0.3% carbon, 15% chromium, 0.5% nitrogen, 0.95% molybdenum, 0.5% nickel and 1.0% manganese. Manufactured by ZAPP.
Blade - thickness 2.5 mm with Leaf-Shaped profile. Plain blade was derived full flat grind (Full Flat Grind). The flat grind guarantees perfect geometry of the cutting edge with a sharp tip, reduces the weight of the knife and presents a beautiful satin finish. The SpyderHole circular cutout (Spyderco patent) has increased ramp support hump that positions the thumb directly over the hole making it easier to quickly open the blade with cold or wet hands. The notched support: thumb ramp (spine jimping) and (finger choil jimping), index finger notch between the handle and the cutting edge make it easier to control the knife.
Handle - in bright Marine Yellow color which makes it easy to find. Facings made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon). Folder is equipped with a wire, screw-on clip (left/right) that allows you to carry the knife in tip-down position.
