The Spira Prime was originally released in July 2015 on the Chinese build of Warframe, along with Excalibur Umbra and Nikana Prime.
The Spira Prime was unintentionally leaked in the Codex following Hotfix 18.4.7 (2016-02-04).
The drill tip on the Spira Prime spins, making it the only throwing knife secondary with a non-static animated model.
"Spira" is the Latin word for "spiral" or "coil". The weapon is named this way due to its spinning tips.
