I have had this knife since the early 90's, maybe the late 80's. I don't know what the model is but I find it interesting that there is a patent pending message on the pocket clip and he pocket clip is not removable. No idea what blade steel is either.

Can anyone shed some light on my old Spydie?

Were the Delicas ever made in Japan? Or did I miss the boat thinking they are made in Taiwan?
 
Thanx Jack. As Jack mentioned, An early "Economy", later name changed to Standard.

Some history;

The clip stamped out od the scale was considered very innovative at the time, and other companies used the stamped clip (to thin liners with the clip stamped out of the outer layer). We later learned that the clip being the same size as the hole would scissor cut the pocket, so we changed sizes and a later model used a separate screw in clip. Prices in Japan were going up due to the stronger yen. We made the less expensive model to fight the knock offs which had already begun. As Jack mentioned, the next "solution" to fight the "Knock offs" was the first generation Delica based on the "Standard pattern. We've been fighting "Knock offs" since the mid 80's. Talk about an unnecessary PITA.
