This distinctive Sprint Run® Para™ 3 features a blade crafted from CPM® 15V®, an exceptional material offering the highest level of corrosion resistance of any currently available Cold Steel tool steel. With approximately 15% vanadium, it forms a unique alloy composition that produces an extremely high volume of vanadium carbides in its microstructure. In knife blades, this translates to astonishing cutting performance and superior edge retention. The limited-edition Spyderco CPM 15V series knives have been further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by renowned custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. This distinctive Sprint Run® Para 3 faithfully includes all the proven design elements of the platform, including its high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism and a four-position pocket clip. To clearly distinguish it as a member of the CPM 15V family, it also features brown peel-ply textured G-10 handles and Shawn Houston"Triple B" logo laser engraved onto the non-presentation side of the full-flat-ground blade.
