Spyderco Para 3 Sprint Run Compression Lock Folding Knife 2.93" CPM-15V Stonewashed Brown G10 Handles (Paramilitary 3)
This elite Sprint Run™ expression of the Para® 3 proudly showcases a blade crafted from CPM® 15V®, an extraordinary material that offers the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel available today. Containing almost 15 percent vanadium, its unique alloy composition creates an exceptionally high volume of vanadium carbides in its microstructure. In knife blades, this translates to breathtaking cutting performance and edge retention. Spyderco’s limited-edition family of CPM 15V knives are further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by acclaimed custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. This Sprint Run expression of the Para 3 faithfully includes all the proven elements of this design, including a high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism and a four-position pocket clip. To clearly distinguish it as a member of our CPM 15V family, it also features brown peel-ply-textured G-10 handle scales and Shawn Houston’s “Triple B” logo laser engraved on the reverse side of the full-flat-ground blade.
Sprint Runs
Spyderco Sprint Runs are limited edition production runs of items not found in Spyderco's standard product line. They may be unique versions of current knives or special expressions of discontinued designs. Every Sprint Run is a unique, one-time-only event. Once that knife is sold out it will not be produced again in that exact form.
