The 842 Sprint OPS Pro is another upgrade version of the Sprint that uses the same ball-bearing technology as the other Sprint Series but has a slightly different drop-point blade and a broader tip. The knife features a blue-and-black G10 handle, along with a clip and blade coated with Cerakote Graphite Black, giving it a discreet low profile. The suggested retail price on the 842 Sprint OPS Pro is $150.
