This exclusive Sprint Run™ version of the Para® 3 features a blade made from CPM® 15V®, an exceptional cold-work tool steel known for its unmatched wear resistance and outstanding edge retention, thanks to its high vanadium content. The steel's unique alloy structure creates a high volume of vanadium carbides, enhancing cutting performance. Spyderco’s limited CPM 15V knives are further optimized with a specialized heat treatment by renowned custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. This model retains all the signature features of the Para 3, including the high-strength Compression Lock® and a four-position pocket clip, with brown peel-ply-textured G-10 scales and Shawn Houston’s “Triple B” logo engraved on the blade for a distinctive touch.
