Spyderco Meerkat Sprint Run: Innovation with a Hidden Secret

The Spyderco Meerkat has been a cult favorite among knife enthusiasts for years due to its ingenious technology and compact size. This exclusive Sprint Run version combines the legendary “secret” locking mechanism with modern, high-quality materials. With its deep burgundy handle and black-coated parts, this knife is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a visual statement for the collector and everyday user.

What makes the Meerkat truly unique is the way it challenges and rewards the user with its mechanical ingenuity.

- The Unique Phantom Lock: This knife has no visible button or lever. The lock is operated by sliding the handle scales in opposite directions. A fascinating mechanism that is both safe and a great conversation starter.
- Micro-Melt PD#1 Steel: The blade is made from PD#1, a powder metallurgical cold work steel. It is known for its exceptional toughness and wear resistance, which keeps the knife sharp for a long time, even with intensive use.
- Tactical TiCN Coating: The blade features a non-reflective titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating. This layer increases durability and gives the knife a subdued, professional look.
- Bordeaux Red FRN Handle: The fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales feature an elegant bordeaux red color and offer excellent grip thanks to their refined texture.
- Discreet Carry: The reversible deep-pocket wire clip ensures that the Meerkat rests virtually invisibly in your pocket. All hardware, including the clip and liners, is black coated for a consistent design.

The Meerkat is the ideal “urban EDC” (Every Day Carry). Thanks to its modest 5.10 cm blade, the knife is socially acceptable and legally permitted in many places where larger knives are not. For the gadget lover, the Phantom Lock offers an unprecedented “fidget factor.” Despite its small size, the PD#1 steel delivers the cutting performance of a much larger knife, so you'll never be short on power.

Open the knife easily with one hand via the distinctive Round Hole. To close the knife, place your thumb and fingers on the scales and slide them sideways away from each other. This unlocks the mechanism, allowing the blade to be safely folded away. Due to the cold working properties of PD#1 steel, we recommend wiping the blade dry after use in damp conditions to keep it in optimal condition.

This knife is ideal for Spyderco collectors looking for rare Sprint Runs, mechanical puzzle enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a small, powerful, and stylish pocket knife for everyday use.
