The late Howard Viele was an exceptional custom knifemaker with style all his own.
One of his most unique collaborations with Spyderco was the Phoenix, a dynamic folding knife design that showcased our patented Ball Bearing Lock.
As a tribute to Viele, we are honoured to rekindle this classic model as a limited-edition Sprint Run, featuring a hollow-ground VG-10 blade, full titanium liners, contoured red G-10 scales, and a right-side, tip-up pocket clip.
Like all Viele designs, it also proudly includes his signature pattern of three holes near the blade's spine.
