Spyderco UK Penknife Salt Black G10, Black DLC MagnaCut by Sal Glesser (C94GMCBKP)
UK Penknife Salt C94GMCBKP is a lightweight, non-locking folding knife designed by Sal Glesser for everyday use in environments exposed to moisture. The SLIPIT™ design combines manual opening via a hole in the blade with a slipjoint mechanism, keeping the knife compact, simple, and true to the UK Penknife series’ philosophy.
The leaf-shaped blade is made of Crucible CPM MagnaCut steel and coated with a black DLC finish. The full flat grind, smooth PlainEdge cutting edge, and black G-10 handle create a functional configuration focused on excellent cutting performance, high corrosion resistance, and a secure grip.
Crucible CPM MagnaCut – Steel for Demanding EDC
CPM MagnaCut is a modern powder-metal steel that combines very good corrosion resistance with high toughness and good edge retention. In the Salt series, these properties are particularly important because they support the knife’s use in humid environments and reduce the need to protect the blade from corrosion.
Leaf-Shaped, Full Flat, and Black DLC
The Leaf-Shaped profile provides a functional tip and a wide belly on the cutting edge, making it well-suited for typical EDC tasks. The full flat grind promotes efficient cutting, while the black DLC coating reduces glare and provides additional protection for the blade surface.
G-10, SLIPIT™, and deep carry
The black G-10 handle features a textured surface that ensures a secure grip, even with damp hands. The Slipjoint / SLIPIT™ mechanism stabilizes the blade without a traditional lock, and the reversible deep-carry clip allows for carry on either the right or left side in a tip-up position.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for CPM MagnaCut steel?
CPM MagnaCut has very high corrosion resistance, but after contact with water, salt, or dirt, it’s still a good idea to clean and dry the blade. Periodic maintenance helps preserve the mechanism’s performance and the appearance of the black DLC coating.
How do you sharpen CPM MagnaCut?
It’s best to use high-quality diamond or ceramic whetstones, or a controlled sharpening system. Due to its high abrasion resistance, sharpening may take longer than with simpler stainless steels.
What sharpening angle should be used?
The manufacturer does not specify a particular recommended sharpening angle for this model, so you should not treat any single value as mandatory. The safest approach is to restore the factory edge geometry or choose an angle that suits your own usage.
How does the Slipjoint / SLIPIT™ work?
The mechanism uses a spring to hold the blade in the open position, but it does not mechanically lock it like a Liner Lock or Back Lock. Therefore, when using the knife, keep in mind that the blade may fold closed if sufficient force is applied in the opposite direction.
How does the clip on the UK Penknife Salt work?
The model features a reversible deep-carry clip that allows for carrying on either the right or left side in a tip-up configuration. This design lets you adjust the carrying style to match your dominant hand and minimizes the knife’s visibility in your pocket.
