A Collaborative Effort Of Danish Knifemakers Jens Anso And Jesper Voxnaes, The Pingo Was Specifically Designed To Conform To The Knife Laws Of Denmark, Which Prohibit Both Lock-Blade Folding Knives And All Forms Of One-Hand-Opening Knives.
The Heart Of The Pingo Is Its Distinctive Sheepfoot Blade, Which Is Ground From Bohler-Uddeholm’S Premium N690Co Stainless Steel. The Blade Is Designed To Meet Danish Legal Length Limits While Still Providing A Very Functional And Versatile Cutting Tool. Its 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. Similarly, Its Stout Notched-Joint Mechanism Is 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 Pingo’S Handle Is Comprised Of Injection-Molded Fiberglass-Reinforced-Nylon (Frn) Scales And A Sturdy Stainless Steel Back Spacer. The Scales Feature A Molded Checkered Texturing That Ensures A Secure Grip Without Being Too Abrasive. A Reversible Deep-Pocket Wire Clip Provides Both Left And Right-Side Tip-Up Carry, Keeping The Knife Accessible For Immediate Use.
Although Designed To Meet The Unique Needs Of The Danish Knife Community, The Pingo’S Versatile Design And Socially Friendly Demeanor Make It A Perfect Choice For Knife Users Everywhere. It Not Only Transcends The Limits Of The Traditional Non-Locking Pocketknife, But Also Redefines Spyderco’S Own Definition Of A Slipit Because Of Its Purposeful Two-Hand-Opening Design.
