I'm not sure which of these 5 is the very first Spyderco I bought, maybe one of the gen 1 Enduras. Notice the skinny molded clips, Volcano grip handles, and the G-2 steel. The Police says GIN-1 steel. The Ladybug pkg says AUS-6 steel. If not the Enduras, then it must be the Mariner. Left handed tip down only, and no steel listed on the tang. Thanks for this thread, a blast from the past. Oh, forgot to add, Sal wins, first prototype. Could we see a photo? Thanks for Sharpmakers, pocket clips, and the holes in the blades. Never felt the need for assisted opening, my thumb is all the assist my blades need. And thanks for all the good steels.
