This limited-edition Sprint Run expression of the Military 2 showcases a blade crafted from Crucible Industries' state-of-the-art CPM-15V particle metallurgy tool steel. With almost 15 percent vanadium in its alloy mix, this remarkable material offers the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel currently available. To maximize its potential, the full-flat-ground, stonewashed blade of this knife is further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by acclaimed custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. In keeping with the signature theme of the CPM-15V Sprint Runs, the handle of this Military 2 features distinctive brown G10 scales and the reverse side of the blade is proudly laser engraved with Shawn Houston's “Big Brown Bear” logo. All other elements of this elite knife are consistent with the proven Military 2 platform.

British knifemaker Mike Read specializes in crafting state-of-the-art non-locking folding knives. His first Spyderco collaboration, the PITS (short for “Pie in the Sky”—Read’s forum name on British knife forums), redefined the form of this genre. The PITS 2 takes that evolution a step further with a truly unique non-locking mechanism that consists of two integral spring arms machined into the handle scales. The forward end of these arms, which supports the blade pivot, flexes as the blade is opened to provide pressure for its notched-joint mechanism to bear against the stop pin. Meticulously machined from solid 6AL-4V titanium, the matte-finished handle scales are paired with a full-flat-ground, satin-finished blade crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm’s M398 particle metallurgy stainless steel. A remarkable expression of Spyderco’s SLIPIT™ concept, the PITS 2’s symmetrical design is complemented by a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole in the blade and a reversible tip-up pocket clip to make every aspect of its carry and operation completely ambidextrous. Specifications Blade Length: 2.74" (70 mm) Cutting Edge: 2.56" (65 mm) Closed Length: 3.76" (96 mm) Overall Length: 6.45" (164 mm) Blade Thickness: 0.118" (3.0 mm) Blade Material: Bohler M398 Stainless Steel Blade Style: Drop Point Blade Grind: Full-Flat Blade Finish: Satin Blade Edge: Plain Handle Material: Skeletonized Titanium Handle Color: Gray Stonewash Locking Mechanism: Slipjoint Pocket Clip: Deep Carry (Tip-Up, Right/Left Carry) Model Number: C269TIP Weight: 3.32 oz.
