Spyderco Moran Upswept SprintRun

Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel® Sprint Run – Celebrating 30 Years of Moran x Spyderco (FB01PGYD)

If you’re looking for a knife that doesn’t just cut but carries a piece of history, this is it. This limited Sprint Run model celebrates the 30th anniversary of the very first collaboration between Spyderco and legendary bladesmith Bill Moran.

History & Significance

In 1995, Spyderco teamed up with William F. “Bill” Moran – co-founder of the American Bladesmith Society and one of the driving forces behind modern Damascus steel – to create the first fixed-blade Spyderco knife. The iconic “Featherlight” marked the beginning of a design partnership that changed the knife world.

This anniversary edition pays tribute to that moment: classic Moran design, modern materials, and that special collector’s thrill only a true Sprint Run can deliver.

What Does Sprint Run Mean?

For Spyderco, a Sprint Run is a single, limited production batch of a specific configuration. Once this edition is sold out, it will not be produced again in this exact form. For collectors and fans of exclusive materials, Sprint Runs are the holy grail of production knives.

Highlights of the Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel®

  • Blade: Damasteel® Dense Twist DS93X – modern, stainless Damascus with striking pattern
  • Grind: Full Flat Grind – lightweight, precise, and highly efficient
  • Handle: Gray FRN with black Kraton inlays – lightweight, grippy, and practical
  • Limited: Sprint Run = one-time, limited edition in this exact configuration
  • Sheath: Premium leather sheath included
  • Origin: Made in Japan

Why This Knife Stands Out

The Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel® Sprint Run brings together 30 years of knife history, an iconic design, and modern materials in a collectible anniversary edition. Ideal for collectors, outdoor users, and EDC enthusiasts alike – and a piece of Spyderco heritage you won’t see again in this configuration.

Warning / Safety Notice:

Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.

Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.

Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.

Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.

Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
