Hey all.

Greetings from the long lost Coronach, currently employed as a LEO.

I was going through my cruiser the other day and discovered a nice surprise. Someone left a spyderco knife in a remote location of the car. I'm pretty sure it is an officer's, not a suspect's, due to where I found it, and I would like to return it to its rightful owner. However, thus far all inquiries have failed, and I may end up with a windfall addition to my collection.

Here is a pic of the knife (gulp, I'm gonna try to insert it). And yes, I have been to the Spyderco webpage...I cannot seem to ID it from the pics there.

Overall length: about 5-6"
Blade length: about 2"
Blade steel is G-2 stainless.

Thanks. As I post this I'm curious to see if my image-posting technique worked

Ehhh. I emailed the image to Tom Marker. Thanks, Tom.

This is the knife in question...
looks like a pro-grip without the grippy stuff to me

Thanks, Tom.

More details:

Total length is about 5.75"

Blade length is about 2.25"

The Blade is hollow-ground, and as you can see, serrated.

The blade is composed of G-2 Stainless and bears the marks "Seki-City, Japan" and "Spyderco."

The handle is plain stainless steel.

It appears to be very old, or at least well-used. There is actually a touch of rust on the blade (reverse side of the scan Tom posted. It lived for God-knows how long up under the siren console in my cruiser, wedged in with about an inch of grime and grit, several sticks of petrified Wrigley's gum, and other detrius of police life. It was discovered when I took the cruiser in to have the siren repaired.

Anyone know what it is?

Mike, I'm pretty sure what you have there is the old Executive model. I've got a pair, one serrated and one plain and I'll measure when I get home. If its not the Executive then it is the old Hunter model.

Phantom is correct. It is an old "Executive" model. Haven't made them for some time now.

An Executive, eh? Nice. I have now checked with everyone I can think of who could possibly have lost it in the car, and so far no one has claimed our poor little lost knife. Pity.

Hey, Sal? How long ago did you stop making these puppies? Any way to tell what 'era' of the production run this knife was from?

In the meantime, I'm cleaning it up...either for its owner, or for me. Scotchbrite pads for the SS handle, right?

Mike

it is an executive. also if you do not find its owner i would give you 35 to 40 dollars for it. i might even throw in a nice little folder of some sort.

i know what your thinking. does he load five or does he load SIX?- dirty harry.
always load six.-me
 
Coronach - It's been 8 - 10 years anyway since we stopped producing them. We made them in righ, left, plain & serrated models.

We also maded 30 pieces with dino bone handles.

Scotch Brite should work fine.

Thanks for all the help and info, guys.

And sorry, not for sale. It has a rightful owner someplace that may yet come forth to claim it, and if not fate sent it to me...I'll find a role for it somewhere.
