Could someone help me identify this GIN-1 Spyderco? :-)

Hey guys,

I know the model on the top is a Co-Pilot in ATS-34. However, I cannot identify the model on the bottom. It says Spyderco GIN-1 Stainless and the clip has the U.S. Patent as well as Foreign Pats Pend

Thank you guys in advance!

Pegasus
Eta-or an experimental

EtaX2- are you sure the copilot uses ats34 and not ats55? Cant say I recall an ats34 version though could be mistaken.

Merp, it is ATS-55. You definitely know your Spyderco knives! Thank you for your help!

Looks like a Navigator.. Not 100% though, there were a few experimental models back then

DD is right; it's a C61 Pegasus. I believe the Navigator (C62) had a black G-10 handle.

And slotted aluminum : p
Eta-oh they did a ss run later down the road too.

You are correct (mine is G10) and just checked and the C62 only had G10 and almite handles

& SS : p (solid almite ones seemed few and far between but they exist too)

It looks like a Pegasus. The Navigator had a longer blade than the Pegasus (2.O" x 2-1/4"), and a radius for the finger at the rear. We made a number of variations of the Navigator pattern.
