Some knives are tools. Some are works of art. The Spyderco Urban Ivory G-10 Damasteel Sprint Run is both — and it may be one of the most visually stunning limited edition folders ever produced. This is a knife that demands attention the moment it leaves the pocket.

At the heart of this exceptional piece is a 2.44" blade meticulously crafted from Damasteel Björkmans Twist DS93X — a spectacular pattern-welded steel produced by Damasteel's proprietary powder metallurgy process. Named after Swedish bladesmith Mattias Björkman, this steel fuses two premium hardenable alloys (RWL34 and PMC27) into a grain pattern reminiscent of natural wood. No two blades are identical, making every single knife in this Sprint Run completely one of a kind. The full-flat grind puts that breathtaking pattern on full display, while delivering the superior cutting performance and corrosion resistance that Damasteel is renowned for.

To complement the extraordinary blade, Spyderco chose smooth ivory G-10 handle scales — a clean, elegant contrast that lets the Damascus pattern take center stage. The handle houses Spyderco's notched-joint non-locking SLIPIT mechanism with a stainless steel backspacer, and the reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry. Compact, refined, and utterly unique — this Sprint Run Urban is a coveted collector's piece that is no longer in production. Made in Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Spyderco Urban Damasteel Sprint Run a limited edition?

Yes. The Spyderco Urban Ivory G-10 Damasteel Sprint Run (C127GIVD) was produced in a limited batch. Sprint Run models are typically produced once and rarely repeated, making them highly desirable among collectors.

What is Damasteel steel?

Damasteel® is a powder metallurgy Damascus steel manufactured in Sweden. It combines two high-performance stainless steels to create a blade with excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a unique patterned finish.

Is the Spyderco Urban a locking knife?

No. The Urban uses Spyderco’s SLIPIT™ slipjoint mechanism, meaning it does not lock open. This makes it legal to carry in many areas where locking knives are restricted.

What makes the Björkmans Twist pattern special?

The Björkmans Twist™ pattern is one of Damasteel’s most sought-after designs. Each blade displays a distinctive wood-grain swirl pattern, and no two blades are identical.

Is the Spyderco Urban good for everyday carry?

Yes. The Urban is lightweight, compact, and highly practical for daily tasks. It weighs just over 2 ounces and features a deep-carry wire clip, making it ideal for everyday carry.
