Info on Spyderco C56PS Tim Zowak

Greetings!
This info is from Spyderco's Y2K Dealer Catalogue:
"Metallurgist and damascus steel expert Tim Zowada has been crafting custom knives since 1982. Experience and execution differentiate this Spyderco/Zowada collaboration. The spearpoint-style blade incorporates a significant swedge (which is hollow-ground like the blade). The opening hole is modest, advancing a tapered look that continues into the handle. Bead-blasted black linen Micarta gives the comfortable handle a matte finish. A Linerlock and a pocket clip complete the design of this prime folding tool. Limited Quantities."

...and the "Zowak" is a very sweet knife that seems to have faded into the background without much fanfare. Well worth acquiring

The Zowada is currently undergoing some mfg modifications. We're also planning a plain edge version.
