Spyderco Sprint Runs are limited-production variants featuring new blade steels or handle configurations not found in the standard catalog. These knives are produced once and never repeated—when they're gone, they're gone. Spyderco uses sprint runs to test premium steels and unique materials, giving enthusiasts access to configurations that push beyond standard production.
Dealer Exclusives take a different path. Retailers like DLT Trading pitch custom configurations directly to Spyderco—specific steel and handle combinations designed to meet collector demand. This collaboration has produced some of the most sought-after variants in the knife community.
DLT Trading has established itself as a leading source for Spyderco exclusives, bringing unique configurations to market that wouldn't exist without dealer initiative. We have new projects in the pipeline—check our exclusive release page and sign up for email notifications to be first in line when the next DLT exclusive drops.
