Description The elite Sprint Run version of the Para 3 Lightweight features a blade made from CPM-15V, an exceptional material that offers the highest wear resistance of any cold work steel available today. Its unique alloy composition contains almost 15% vanadium and creates an exceptionally high volume of vanadium carbides in its microstructure. In knife blades, this results in breathtaking cutting performance and edge retention. Spyderco’s limited edition CPM-15V knife family is enhanced by a special heat treatment protocol developed by renowned knifemaker Shawn Houston. This Sprint Run version of the Para 3 Lightweight incorporates all the proven elements of this design, including a high-strength compression lock mechanism and a four-way reversible pocket clip. The brown, removable G10 handle scales and Shawn Houston’s “Triple B” logo, which is laser engraved on the back of the fully ground blade, are clearly recognizable.Warning and safety information:Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
