A Legend Returns
Picture this: late 1990s. Shoulder pads, brick-sized cell phones – and two old friends from Brooklyn sitting at a bar, talking knives. Bob Terzuola, the “Godfather of Tactical Folders,” and Sal Glesser, founder of Spyderco, set out to merge their design philosophies into one folding knife. The result? The iconic Spyderco Starmate. And now, it’s back as a limited Sprint Run edition.
The Starmate isn’t just another folder – it’s a piece of knife history you can carry. Terzuola’s original concept blended elements from his Advanced Technology Combat Folder with Spyderco’s CLIPIT platform. Sal Glesser helped bring that vision into full production. Together, they created a milestone in tactical folding knife design – and now celebrate more than 25 years of that legendary collaboration.
In hand, you get a highly capable working knife featuring a CPM 20CV blade – known for outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. This is not a safe queen. It’s built to be used.
The hollow-ground blade with an elegant swedge cuts efficiently while maintaining a bold, tactical profile. The signature Spyderco Round Hole allows for smooth one-handed opening, whether you’re right- or left-handed.
The handle is made from textured black G-10 with nested stainless steel liners, delivering strength without unnecessary weight. A four-position pocket clip lets you configure carry exactly how you prefer – tip-up, tip-down, left, or right. There’s also a lanyard hole if you want to customize it further.
On the reverse side of the blade, you’ll find a special detail: Terzuola’s engraved dragon head logo, inspired by the Mayan god of flint tools. It’s more than decoration – it’s a mark of knife culture history.
The Starmate Sprint Run is produced only once and only in limited numbers. It comes with a durable nylon pouch and an information guide explaining the knife’s background. If you want to carry a true piece of modern knife legend in your daily life, this is it.

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.
