The Back Door: Spyderco Starmate Sprint Run Folding Knife - 3.5" CPM 20CV, Black G10 - Made in USA (SC55G20CVP) (Return)

A 1999 Terzuola classic brought back as a limited Sprint Run.

This is listed in The Back Door. Customer returned the knife because they didn't like the liner lock. Please don't buy this knife if you don't like liner locks.

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.

Proudly carrying American
