SPYDERCO SPY-DK 1ST LOOK review

Post by junebug »

HEY YA, AAPK KNIFE WIELDIN' PSYCHO'S !!!!!! ::super_happy::

GOT ANOTHER COOL ONE IN .......HERE IS MORE OF A "FIRST LOOK" than a REVIEW,i guess.... :mrgreen:


SPYDERCO
SPY-DK
or model # C179 ------ this is the orange version so add "OR" to end for : C179OR ::tu::

this is a nice lil user knife...... ::nod::
top notch quality...as usual from SPYDERCO 8)
i have carried clipped to pocket.....but am gonna remove the clip and try it as a POCKET KNIFE.....
i PERSONALLY like a larger POCKET CLIP KNIFE for day to day carry......this size for ME....is more a sunday knife if used with pocket clip ::nod::

Made for DANISH LAWS..... ::tu::
MADE IN ITALY 8)
BY A USA COMPANY ::tu::
i have nothin but good ta say so far....and spyderco's web page can tell the SPECS better than i can...so i will copy and paste that :mrgreen: ::tu::

i like to try NEW steels so the N690Co ought to be cool in the long run,as a side benefit.

VERY MUCH LIKE A TRADITIONAL FOLDER.......1/2 STOPS....AND NO LOCK.



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.

length overall 3.60" (91 mm) blade length 2.69" (68 mm) blade steel N690Co
length closed 6.29" (160 mm) cutting edge 2.30" (58 mm) weight 1.9 oz (54 g)
blade thickness 0.112" (2.8 mm) handle material FRN
