Didn't really need it but couldn't pass up this EB "find"-- an early pre-2000 version of the Moran Featherweight (FB01) with an upswept VG10 blade and a leather sheath in a white box w/proper markings and an insert consistent w/the period -- for what I considered a "good" price.

The knife has a mirror finish and is in perfect condition. The blade is so well polished that it's hard to photograph it w/o picking up something in the reflection of the blade. The sheath is unused but has some imperfections due to (mis)handling. The box is intact and in generally good condition but there is some water/moisture damage on the label end.

No plans to use the knife; just adding it to the collection as an example the 1st fixed blade knife (if the numbering is to be believed) that Spyderco made.

In order to put this purchase in context, I thought I'd also show photos of my entire Spyderco fixed blade collection below, which includes a couple other early/hard to find model variations, that I hope that some people here will find of interest.

I also have an Enzo (Brisa) Birk 75 with Curly Birch and D2 Scandi grind. Absolutely love it - first model with liner edges exposed. I should get one with full, edge to edge scales (2nd model). Not enough $$ in pocket for a second one now. Brisa/Enzo are great folders. Also have the barlow styled shorter model in D2/Scandi (now discontinued).

I've looked at these A.G. Russell folding chef's knives many times, finally picked one up as a birthday gift for our boy that loves to cook. Totally worth every penny... locks up rock solid, wicked thin grind, thick bronze washers...great knife.

Gorgeous, hard to believe thatā€™s a backlock until I looked closer. Also, a beautiful bolster too.
