Spyderco Pingo Slip Joint Titanium Sprint Run C163TIP
Made in Maniago, Italy
**PRE OWENED** from a collection we purchased. Knife is unused but has a few light scratches on the front of the handle. Box is tattered. Overall near mint condition.
A collaborative effort of Danish knifemakers Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes, the Pingo was specifically designed to conform to the knife laws of Denmark, which prohibit both lock-blade folding knives and all forms of one-hand-opening knives.
The heart of the Pingo is its distinctive sheepfoot blade, which is ground from Austrian Bohler-Uddeholm’s Elmax steel. Elmax boasts high carbon and chromium contents and an extra-fine grain structure that provide extreme edge holding and corrosion resistance. The blade is designed to meet Danish legal length limits while still providing a very functional and versatile cutting tool. Its Trademark Round Hole clearly identifies it as a Spyderco knife and provides a handy purchase for two-handed opening, but the hole is purposely small to prevent one-handed blade-opening methods. Similarly, its stout notched-joint mechanism is powered by a strong spring that helps hold the blade securely in the open and closed positions, supporting its safe use as a cutting tool while precluding one-handed opening.
This limited edition Pingo features solid Titanium handles with a color anodized wraparound bug logo which really makes the knife pop! A reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides both left and right-side tip-up carry, keeping the knife accessible for immediate use while blending unobtrusively with virtually any color of clothing.
Although designed to meet the unique needs of the Danish knife community, the Pingo’s versatile design and socially friendly demeanor make it a perfect choice for knife users everywhere. It not only transcends the limits of the traditional non-locking pocket knife, but also redefines Spyderco’s own definition of a SLIPIT because of its purposeful two-hand-opening design. These knives are simply excellent don't miss out on them, Spyderco sprint runs go quick and get expensive fast!

Amazing Sprint Run Spydie
Incredible knife. The titanium is absolutely beautiful and the Elmax blade is scary sharp! Bought this one as a gift for my wife who loves and collects Spyderco’s. It probably won’t get much use but if you wanted to use it this little knife will do just about anything you ask of it. It’s incredibly well made with amazingly high end materials. Fit and finish is excellent. Was delivered in just a couple days too. Jordan and Le Neigh are a pleasure to do business with. American Edge is the place to go if you’re looking for something nobody else has. I will definitely be buying from them again.
