The Spyderco Starmate Sprint Run is a refined expression of tactical performance and precision craftsmanship, designed for those who demand reliability, strength, and style in their everyday carry folding knife. With a legacy rooted in custom knifemaking and a profile that’s unmistakably Spyderco, this updated Sprint Run takes everything that made the original a standout and elevates it with premium materials and purposeful design.
At the center of this impressive folder is a 3.74-inch clip point blade made from CPM 20CV stainless steel, a top-tier powder metallurgy steel known for its exceptional edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and all-around toughness. It’s a steel that doesn’t compromise—perfect for those who rely on their knife day in and day out. The satin finish adds a sleek, professional sheen, showcasing the clean grind lines and classic silhouette of the clip point profile. It’s a versatile blade shape that offers excellent piercing capability, a long cutting edge, and precise control in a wide range of cutting tasks.
Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole is prominently featured on the blade, delivering smooth, ambidextrous, one-handed deployment with ease. This is paired with a strong linerlock mechanism that holds the blade firmly in place when open, giving you the confidence to take on hard-use scenarios without hesitation. As a manual folder, the action is smooth and satisfying, offering tactile engagement every time you open it.
The handle features black G-10 scales that are lightweight, grippy, and durable. This high-performance composite material provides excellent traction and feels secure in the hand, even in demanding conditions. The handle is ergonomically shaped to accommodate a variety of grips, and at 4.99 inches closed, it fits comfortably in the pocket without taking up unnecessary space. Despite its solid build and rugged materials, the Starmate weighs in at just 4 ounces, striking the perfect balance between size and portability.
A four-position pocket clip gives you complete freedom to carry how you prefer—tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed. This makes the Starmate fully ambidextrous, a key feature for users who value versatility and accessibility. Whether you’re using it for daily tasks, self-reliance, or as part of a tactical loadout, it’s ready to perform whenever you are.
With an overall length of 8.69 inches when open and a .14-inch blade thickness, this knife feels robust and confidence-inspiring without being bulky. It’s a high-performance cutting tool that reflects Spyderco’s commitment to form, function, and innovation.
