Description
The Spyderco C223GPBN15V Para 3 Sprint Run® elevates Spyderco’s compact powerhouse with CPM 15V tool steel, boasting nearly 15% vanadium for outstanding wear resistance—one of the highest in production knife steels. The 2.93″ clip-point blade features a full-flat grind with a stonewash finish. Specialty heat treatment by Shawn Houston ensures sharpness and durability without compromise. The handle is crafted from brown peel-ply textured G‑10, offering exceptional grip in a slim, nested-liner design. A patented Compression Lock® secures the blade during use, while the round hole opener and 4-position pocket clip support ambidextrous carry and one-handed deployment. With its rugged build, refined materials, and collector appeal, once this limited-edition Spyderco Sprint Run is gone, it won’t return—making it a rare gem for both EDC users and enthusiasts.
