I love it !
The new improved blade spring is a good balance between ease of opening and safety. I am happy with this EDC, but the FRN handle wear my Jeans … The CTS-BD1 blade is OK. This knife satisfy the strict restrictions guidelines in some country frop Europa. I love it !

Excellent knife!!
This latest iteration of Spyderco's UKPK Lighteweight is an excellent knife!! The FFG blade slices well, sharpens well and keeps its edge for a good time. The handle feels great in use. FRN is lighter than G10 but very strong and textured enough to give good traction. The backspring isn't as strong as the G10 models but still stronger than the first gen UKPK Lightweights (hollow ground blades). Great walk and talk (snap when opening/closing and at the half stop). Easy to open and close one handed and the finger choil works to keep the blade from closing on your fingers, eliminating the need for a lock for most applications. I prefer the drop point blade style to the classic leaf as it has a lower profile when closed. I have several iterations of the UKPK and think this one might be the best one. I just ordered a second the other day.

Excellent knife
I was moving to the UK and wanted a knife that was legal to carry, this knife would have cost me over twice as much if bought in the UK, I use the knife for the usual day to day things, cutting string, ribbons, opening packaging etc., knife is beautifully sharp, easy to use with one hand and sits in the pocket on the clip well.

Ace knife
Very nice knife, my first Spyderco and i was not disappointed. The 'slip-joint' lock was far more positive and much stronger than i imagined. Blade came sharp and was easy to open with one hand. Very impressed with Spyderco and Knife centre, would not hesitate to order from you again, no fuss, just exactly what i ordered well within the time stated.

Great blade shape
Like the handle feel and blade shape. Slip joint is not as firm as my G10 leaf UK pen.

The worst Spyderco
From the very beginning the blade locking seems suspicious, did not keep the blade safely when open. I used the knife a couple of times for very light work in the kitchen. Now the blade locking broke and the blade is moving completely freely. Not worth of Spyderco name !!!
