Finally! At last! The Holy Grail!
A ** PLAIN EDGE ** Alu Bob T Jr.
OK, maybe I'm getting a bit over excited, but just got this one in the mail:
I've been searching pretty long for this one (couple of years) and was recently inspired by Samo and his posts about his Bob T's, so I thought, well, let's see what Google has to offer.
See the result here:
After mailing Ayoob (yes, the company of Massad Ayoob) I was told they still had a plain edge G-10 one left.
So I ordered it immediately allthough it wasn't aluminum, then had it shipped to Chris and just got it the mail an hour ago.
And to my big surprise, it's not the G-10 model, but the earlier Aluminum model.
And, it's brand new in the original box (C19P).
All this for $74.95 and some shipping! The only one I've seen for sale was a couple of years ago at CutlersCove for $300 or something!!
The knife is beautifull. On the front side, the Spyderco logo with the text 'Spyderco - Golden Colorado USA' is diamond engraved. On the back 'ATS 34' and the logo and text 'Robert Terzuola Design' is engraved.
The Aluminum handle is engraved with 'U.S.A. Made'
It locks up great, a little stiff action but it has probably been sitting in a box for more then 10 years. The box still had the Edge-U-Caution pamflet in it. And a sticker with a retail price of $115.95.
I hope I can borrow a better camera soon and then I can shoot some better pics!
One question, does anyone know what material the liner is made of? Is it normal steel or Titanium?
