Performance & Design
The CPM-15V blade steel used in this Sprint Run contains a very high vanadium content, creating an abundance of extremely hard vanadium carbides. This composition provides exceptional wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness, making it one of the most durable steels used in modern knife blades. Spyderco enhances the steel’s performance through a specialized heat-treat protocol developed with custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, ensuring the blade achieves optimal hardness and durability.

The compact Lil’ Native design features a full-flat grind for excellent slicing performance, while the textured G10 handle offers a secure grip and comfortable ergonomics even during detailed cutting tasks. Its sturdy mid-back lock provides strong lockup while maintaining ambidextrous usability and dependable everyday carry performance.
