Spyderco C135CFP Perrin PPT Sprint Run Folding Knife (3.0 Inch CPM S90V Satin Plain Blade) Black Carbon Fiber Handle

This limited edition Sprint Run of the PPT combines all the defining features of the original with stunning solid carbon fiber scales and a CPM-S90V blade. True to the original, it includes a deep-pocket carry clip configured for discreet, right-side, tip-up carry. The original PPT folder was a collaborative effort between French custom knifemakers Fred Perrin, Philippe Perotti, and Sacha Thiel. The most distinctive feature of its stylish design was a hybrid lock that combines the strength of a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) with the superior corrugated texture of 3-D machined scales. The curved, pistol-grip-style profile of its handle also fit the natural contours of the hand to provide exceptional ergonomics and outstanding control over the flat-ground Bowie-shaped blade.

Fred Perrin doesn’t sit still, figuratively or physically. He’s perpetually in motion, like a bullet-train picking up speed, as evidenced by his resume. Fred has been a world-vetted tae kwon do and stick-fighting champion, a French Army Commando, a professional writer, a martial arts instructor and one of France’s most recognized professional knifemakers and he’s only in his forties. The latest product of his alliance with Spyderco is the Perrin PPT folder. P.P.T. refers to folder’s three designers; Fred Perrin, Philippe Perotti and Sacha Thiel. The lock is a crossbreed, blending elements of both Michael Walker’s LinerLock and Chris Reeve’s Reeve Integral Lock. The lock functions as a frame-lock but a Carbon Fiber scale overlaying the lock looks very LinerLockish. The black Carbon Fiber handle scales are milled with corrugated creases for skid-free and ergonomic handling. Its CPM-S90V steel blade is a modified-Wharncliffe profile with a finger choil, spine jimping and a tapered swedge. Screw together construction. Left/right deep-carry pocket clip and lanyard hole open the door for endless attachment options. .

Sprint Runs: Sprint Runs are limited edition production runs of knives not found in Spyderco's regular product line. Some are special versions of current models, while others are uniquely different expressions of classic, discontinued designs. No matter what form they take, every Sprint Run is a truly distinctive, one-time-only event. Once that knife is sold out, it will not be produced again in that exact form. That makes Spyderco Sprint Runs some of the most desirable and collectible knives they make.
