The Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel Sprint Run is a limited-edition fixed blade knife honoring legendary bladesmith William F. "Bill" Moran Jr., founder of the American Bladesmith Society and pioneer in modern Damascus steel revival. This 2025 Sprint Run commemorates the 30th anniversary of Spyderco's first fixed-blade collaboration with Moran (the original "Featherlight" pattern from 1995) and what would have been his 100th birthday. Featuring an exquisite upswept trailing point blade in premium Damasteel DS93X (Dense Twist pattern), it combines artistic beauty, exceptional performance, and lightweight practicality ideal for skinning, field dressing, slicing, precision utility tasks, bushcraft, or as a collector's display piece.

Specifications:

Blade Length: 3.92 inches (100 mm)

Cutting Edge: 3.25 inches (83 mm)

Blade Thickness: 0.118 inches (3.0 mm)

Blade Material: Damasteel DS93X patterned stainless steel (martensitic Damascus with powder metallurgy construction; offers outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, toughness, and a striking Dense Twist visual pattern)

Blade Style: Upswept trailing point (sweeping curve for enhanced slicing leverage, tip control, and skinning efficiency; full-flat grind for low-friction cutting and easy sharpening)

Blade Finish: Mirror polish then acid etch (high-shine base with etched contrast to reveal the intricate Damascus pattern; low-glare yet elegant)

Blade Hardness: Approximately 64 HRC (optimized for this premium Damascus alloy's balance of hardness, durability, and sharpenability)

Overall Length: 8.06 inches (205 mm)

Handle Length: Approximately 4.24 inches (108 mm, from guard to pommel)

Handle Material: Gray fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales with black Kraton rubber inserts (lightweight, impact-resistant, and textured for superior wet/dry grip and comfort during extended use)

Handle Features: Ergonomic contours, pronounced finger guard for safety, injection-molded construction for fatigue-free handling

Weight: Approximately 3.0 oz (85 g) – remarkably light for a full-tang fixed blade of this capability

Sheath: Genuine leather belt sheath (custom-fitted with secure snap retention, classic styling, and belt loop for reliable carry and protection)

Other Features: Full tang construction (hidden for sleek profile), plain edge, Spyderco Trademark Round Hole in blade (for lanyard or tool-assisted removal if needed), no coatings beyond the etched finish

The Spyderco FB01PGYD Moran Upswept elevates the classic Featherlight design with modern premium materials: the DS93X Damascus blade delivers razor-like performance and breathtaking visuals (each pattern unique due to forging), while the gray FRN/Kraton handle keeps weight minimal and grip secure in any condition. As a limited Sprint Run (once sold out, it's gone), this USA-made tribute combines historical significance with practical excellence perfect for collectors honoring Bill Moran, hunters seeking a lightweight skinner, or enthusiasts wanting a distinctive, high-performance fixed blade.

Maintenance tip: Wipe dry after use and lightly oil the blade to preserve the etched pattern and prevent any moisture-related issues (though highly corrosion-resistant). A stunning piece of knifemaking legacy!
