This elite Sprint Run expression of the Para 3 Lightweight 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 Lightweight faithfully includes all the proven elements of this design, including a streamlined Compression Lock mechanism and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip. To clearly distinguish it as a member of our CPM 15V family, it also features brown injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle and Shawn Houston's "Triple B" logo laser engraved on the reverse side of the full-flat-ground blade.
