Description
When Spyderco introduced the first Sprint Run™ Shaman® combining the traditional look of brown canvas Micarta scales and CPM CRU-WEAR blade steel, we were overwhelmed by the response. Later dubbed “CruCarta,” this distinctive pairing of old-school, high-performance materials became an instant classic. To ensure we could meet customer demand when we applied the “CruCarta” treatment to other models, we decided to make them full-line products, not limited editions. We began with the Para Military 2 and are now proud to add four more USA-made models to this elite family. All feature skeletonized full stainless steel liners, slim brown canvas Micarta scales, and CPM CRU-WEAR tool steel blades that offer an outstanding balance of edge retention and toughness. The scales of all these knives are sanded smooth but left unpolished, so they will naturally patina with age and handling to develop their own unique character.

Spyderco Para 3, Cruwear, Micarta
It is a great EDC! It feels better in my hands than the Lightweight version. It’s sharpens exceedingly sharp and is easy to sharpen. It responds very well to a strop with 1 micron diamond paste. It holds an edge really well. I’ve found that my S30V and 154CM are a bit chippy and CruWear is supposedly not nearly as chippy. The action is buttery smooth and the blade is centered. The price was very good. Overall, I’m very happy!
