Let's see your oldest Spyderco...

[benchwarmer380]

Clipit Delica. I've had it for a year or two. Very smooth lock back and still locks up tight.

I had a large Wayne Goddard Micarta I wish I'd kept and I still have the penultimate oxymoronic Spyderco, the Copilot designed to be airplane friendly in '87 mine traveled on many flights with me till 9/11/01

One of these two, though I'm not sure of their exact ages:

I only have 2 spyderco knives... one purchased in '93 +/- a year, a Police model. And then the recent Farid K2 collab.

Here is the old one, stainless with matching sink:

People thought I was an undercover police or DEA when they would see this knife

And back then I knew ATS-34 was good, so ATS-55 must be better

This early left handed Mariner could be the oldest Spyderco I own, although I own several others of similar vintage so it's impossible to say for sure.

This aluminum Peter Herbst is the first Spyderco I purchased and thus the one I've owned the longest. It was purchased on the Exchange here, from Anthony Cheeseboro.

this is my second Spyderco, lost my first one, an Endura when I was a sophomore, bought this Tim Wegner Jr. Shortly after.

I was a little late to the game but now I'm sold on Spyderco. My first was the Tenacious, simply to try out the brand. I was popping bales of hay and felt something wet dripping down my arm. It was blood. I had cut myself and didn't even realize it. Wow, the knife cut like a surgical scalpel.

Spydrco makes some of the best DOG GONE knives on the planet.

Carried this first gen Delica for a long time. If you look close, above the stamping, you can see the divot from putting it on a hardness tester. I got this in 1996-1997.

My oldest would be a Spyderco Native LW II, but I'd lose mine every 3 years, or so. Oldest current Spyderco is probably either a Spyderco Native LW II or the Iraqi Freedom Native Spyderco sent me while I was in Afghanistan in 2006.

Top is a "Clipit Dyad Jr" in ATS-55 steel.
The one below it is a "C23 Renegade" in GIN-1 steel, circa 1994-1997.

I picked them both up in a hardware store in Denver thinking, "Boy, I really like that hole in the blade."

^^ Cool! I didn't realize they were using the "USA Earth" slogan that far back - interesting.

That looks like the Spyderco Persistence to me.

I have several from the 90s.



Disregard the UKPK. It's not from the 90s.

For those that don't date back that far with Spyderco....
This is the first Spyderco Solo (Rising Sun)... rarely seen, designed by Sal himself.
