Originally crafted by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, the Temperance fixed blade is a foundational design in the brand’s history. This iconic model now makes a powerful return as a limited-edition Sprint Run, featuring modern upgrades that enhance both performance and durability.
 
High-Performance Blade
The full-flat-ground blade is constructed from CPM-CruWear, a tool steel known for its exceptional wear resistance and toughness. Enhanced through Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM), the blade boasts an ultra-fine, uniform grain structure, ensuring precise performance and lasting edge retention. Its serrated SpyderEdge excels at slicing through tough materials like rope, straps, and fibrous objects, making it an ideal tool for demanding tasks.
 
Ergonomic Design for Superior Control
True to its original design, the Temperance features an ergonomic gray fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle, molded directly onto the tang for strength and balance. Bilateral dimples in the handle provide a secure grip and improve maneuverability, even in challenging conditions. This thoughtful design ensures the knife handles with precision, offering both comfort and control.
 
Custom-Molded Sheath
The knife comes with a custom-molded Boltaron sheath, paired with a versatile G-Clip attachment for multiple carry options. This sheath adds to the knife’s practicality, providing safe storage and quick access when needed.
 
What Is a Sprint Run?
Spyderco Sprint Runs are limited-edition versions of existing models, produced with unique materials, colors, or blade steels. Each Sprint Run typically consists of only 600 to 1,200 pieces, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
