Help identifying Spyderco model ???

[sportsnut]

I bought this blade about 8 years ago and no longer have the box. I was wondering if anyone knows what model this is ? Knife is 5" closed and 9" opened. Blade is stamped "SPYDECO GIN-1 STAINLESS" on one side and "SEKI-CITY, JAPAN" on the other.

TIA.

I googled it and came up with this:


Blade Length: 4″
Closed Length: 5 1/8″
Overall Length: 9″
Weight: 3.7oz

Blade Material: GIN-1
Blade Finish: Satin Finish
Blade Grind: Hollow Grind
Handle Material: G-10
Locking Mechanism: Lock back

Years Produced: 1994-1997, 2002
Manufacture Location: Golden USA (1994), Seki City Japan (2002)

Variations:
C23P – Plain Edge
C23PS – Combo Edge
C23GP – Re-release Plain Edge
C23GPS – Re-release Combo Edge

The second release was combo edge edge only.

Also in full serrated

Nice looking renegade. I have one of the older blackhawks. Cool knives.

Looks like an AFCK almost.

I carried a Renegade EDC for almost a year and really loved it. One bit of trivia is that the Renegade and it's brother the Blackhawk model are 2 of the only Spyders that were made in Golden CO and Seki City Japan. But both renditions were very high quality blades.

The RENeGade is one Spyder I would love to see them bring it back with one of the newer/better blade steels. A Renegade in D-2 or M-4 would sure be nice
