Sleek, efficient, and built for modern carry, the Spyderco Metropolitan Lightweight delivers performance you can count on in a streamlined design that’s ready for the daily grind. With premium materials, a practical profile, and unmistakable Spyderco engineering, this knife hits the perfect balance between utility and refinement. Whether you're navigating city life or handling everyday tasks, the Metropolitan Lightweight is a smart companion that doesn’t weigh you down.

At the center of its capability is a 2.68-inch leaf-shaped blade made from high-performance M398 stainless steel. Known for its incredible edge retention and wear resistance, M398 is a top-tier choice for users who demand long-lasting sharpness and consistent cutting performance. The satin finish adds a clean, polished look while minimizing glare and protecting the blade surface during frequent use. With a full flat grind and plain edge, the blade excels at everything from opening packages to food prep and general utility cutting.

Opening the blade is quick and intuitive thanks to Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole—designed for easy, one-handed deployment. As a manual folder, the Metropolitan Lightweight puts you in full control of each movement, delivering a satisfying, confident feel every time you reach for it. The .11-inch blade thickness strikes an ideal balance between slicing precision and cutting strength, making it a versatile tool you’ll reach for day after day.

The handle is made from black FRN—fiberglass-reinforced nylon—a lightweight yet incredibly durable material that offers excellent grip and long-lasting performance. Textured for secure handling even in wet conditions, the handle is shaped for comfort and control, no matter how you hold it. With a closed length of 3.73 inches and an overall open length of 6.31 inches, the knife fits easily in the hand and stows neatly in the pocket.

At just 1.6 ounces, the Metropolitan Lightweight lives up to its name. It’s ideal for anyone who values low-profile carry without sacrificing utility. The tip-up pocket clip offers secure placement and easy access, whether clipped to your jeans, a bag, or tucked into an organizer. Designed for everyday carry, it’s light enough that you’ll forget it’s there—until you need it.

The Metropolitan Lightweight is more than just a tool—it’s a finely tuned everyday companion with premium steel, smart ergonomics, and the kind of understated style that works in any environment. It reflects Spyderco’s commitment to precision, innovation, and performance in a practical format that suits users of all stripes.
