The Spyderco Moran Upswept Sprint Run is a limited-edition tribute to the late, legendary knifemaker Bill Moran, the visionary founder of the American Bladesmith Society who reignited the use of Damascus steel in modern bladesmithing. This highly coveted fixed blade combines historical significance with beautiful craftsmanship and cutting-edge materials.

At its heart lies a 3.92-inch upswept (trailing point) blade crafted from stunning Dense Twist Damasteel DS93X, renowned for its superior strength, exceptional edge retention, and corrosion resistance. This patented powder metallurgy stainless Damascus steel showcases a breathtaking, intricate pattern, achieved through a mirror polish followed by an acid etch. This blade delivers both peerless beauty and outstanding cutting performance, excelling at slicing and detailed work.

The handle, at 4.24 inches, features a lightweight yet durable FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) core with black Kraton rubber inlays, ensuring a secure, non-slip grip even in challenging conditions. With an overall length of 8.06 inches and weighing a mere 3.0 oz., this knife offers remarkable balance and agility. Each Moran Upswept Sprint Run comes complete with a premium leather sheath for classic, secure carry. This Japanese-made, limited-production masterpiece is a must-have for collectors and users seeking a truly exceptional blade.
