Is there a place on the Forum, or internet in general that I can find names/pictures of discontinued Spyderco models?

I have been using one as an EDC off and on for the past 20-25 years, so long that I can't recall the model. It is all steel, solid handle, 3 1/4" closed and 2 1/4" serrated blade. it carries tip down. It is stamped "SPYDERCO" and "Seki-Japan".

Myself and friends started carrying the Spydercos while fishing. A one-hand knife, that we could carry hooked to a pocket within quick reach, was very handy for tangled line, removing swivels and slicing the occasional small piece of bait. And the serrations meant the knife stayed sharp for a long time and didn't need sharpening too often.

PS - when this one isn't my EDC, the Spur is (I misplace them sometimes, but they always turn up). just like the size and tip down carry of these little knives - very convenient and useful.
 
Thanks MJF and bh49. those are a couple of excellent resources. My Spyderco in question is the C04S Executive. It is stamped "HOFFRITZ" on the back-side handle - I seem to recall it was a gift from a Hoffritz store in Boston or NYC in the late 80s.

Also, saw the C03PS Hunter - I used one of those alot staking out tomatoes and peppers in the early 90s. Serrated blade and all steel handle was great for notching the stakes. misplaced the Hunter though, on a trip to the desert awhile back.
 
What other info are you looking for?
