Discover the limited-edition Spyderco Para® 3 Lightweight Sprint Run, featuring a high-performance CPM® 15V® blade that sets new standards for wear resistance in cold-work tool steels. With a remarkable composition that contains nearly 15% vanadium, CPM® 15V® produces a dense network of vanadium carbides within its microstructure, ensuring outstanding cutting performance and edge retention. This makes it one of the most durable and long-lasting steels available for knives today.
"Spyderco is so cool, who else would put a state of the art supers-steel with bespoke heat-treat in such a lightweight, value for money package?!" - Mr Narwhal 
CPM® 15V®: Superior Edge Retention and Wear Resistance
CPM® 15V® is renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, making it the ideal choice for tasks requiring sharpness that lasts. The high vanadium content contributes to a tough, wear-resistant edge, ideal for demanding cutting tasks. To ensure the steel reaches its maximum potential, Spyderco has partnered with renowned custom knifemaker Shawn Houston to implement a specialised heat treatment process, further enhancing the steel’s performance. The result is a blade that not only holds its edge for longer but also provides unmatched durability for everyday carry and intensive use.

The Triple B logo, created by Shawn Houston, is laser engraved on the reverse side of the full-flat-ground blade, marking this knife as part of Spyderco’s exclusive CPM 15V® family.
