A 1999 Terzuola classic brought back as a limited Sprint Run.
The Starmate is a Bob Terzuola and Sal Glesser collaboration from the late nineties, and this Sprint Run brings it back with a modern CPM 20CV blade. Terzuola is often called the father of the tactical folder, and this design is a big reason why.
The 3.5 inch hollow-ground modified clip point sits in peel-ply textured black G10 over nested skeletonized stainless liners, and it locks up with a Michael Walker liner lock. Sprint Runs are one-time production, so once this run is gone it is gone.

Why it matters
The Starmate helped define what a tactical folder looked like. Getting it back in 20CV, a high-vanadium stainless with excellent edge holding, is a treat for people who missed it the first time.
Why this one stands out
A piece of Spyderco history in a better steel than it ever had, and only made once.
Made by Spyderco in Golden, Colorado, which is the only kind of Spyderco we carry.
