Spyderco MeerKat Micro-Melt Features The Spyderco MeerKat has always stood apart for its unusual Phantom Lock mechanism operated by rotating the butt ends of the handle halves in opposite directions rather than using a traditional liner or back lock. This Sprint Run revives that clever design with a blade made from Carpenter Technology s Micro-Melt PD#1 an air-hardening cold-work die steel engineered to offer both superior wear resistance and toughness. The CarTech Micro-Melt powder metal process further enhances those properties by producing an extremely fine homogenous microstructure throughout the steel. A full-flat grind on the 2.02-inch plain edge blade gives the MeerKat excellent slicing performance for everyday cutting tasks. The blade s non-reflective titanium carbonitride coating protects against corrosion while completing the knife s dramatic black and burgundy theme carried through to the knife s reversible tip-down deep-pocket wire clip full stainless steel liners and handle hardware all finished in matching black coatings. Fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle scales injection molded in a deep burgundy color keep the knife lightweight while providing a durable long-lasting grip surface. At 5.32 inches overall and 3.38 inches closed the MeerKat remains compact enough for easy pocket carry despite its distinctive mechanism. This combination of a historic design premium steel and striking color scheme makes the MeerKat Sprint Run a standout addition for any serious knife collector.
