Few names in the world of knife craftsmanship carry the weight and legacy of William F. “Bill” Moran Jr., founder of the American Bladesmith Society (ABS) and the man who reignited the art of hand-forged Damascus steel. To celebrate both the 30th anniversary of the original Moran fixed blade and what would have been Bill’s 100th birthday, Spyderco has created a truly exceptional tribute — the Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel Sprint Run (FB01PGYD). ⚔️
✨ A Modern Masterpiece of Tradition and Innovation
The Moran Upswept Sprint Run blends timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge metallurgy. Its full-flat-ground blade is crafted from Damasteel’s “Dense Twist” DS93X Martensitic Damascus, a high-performance patterned steel forged from two hardenable alloys. The result?
🔹 Superior strength
🔹 Exceptional edge retention
🔹 Outstanding corrosion resistance
🔹 A mesmerizing Damascus pattern that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
🖤 Lightweight, Secure, and Elegant
The handle is molded from fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) in a sleek gray tone and features black Kraton rubber inlays for a comfortable, non-slip grip. Despite its elegance, this knife stays true to Moran’s “Featherlight” philosophy, weighing only 3 oz (83 g) — perfectly balanced for precision and control.
Each knife comes paired with a genuine leather sheath, offering both protection and presentation worthy of its heritage.
🏆 A Collector’s Dream
This limited-edition Sprint Run is not just a knife — it’s a piece of cutlery history. Combining Spyderco’s engineering excellence with Bill Moran’s legendary design, the Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel is destined to become a highly sought-after collectible among enthusiasts and artisans alike.
