Great pics guys, makes me feel like I've been at this forever, anyone else bought the Worker C01 when it first came out as Spyderco's initial edged offering into the cutlery world?

Spyderco Economy (CO5S) 1984
It's not in the best shape, but I carried and used it often back in the day !
 
My Tim Wegner, produced between 1997 and 2001, a lightweight beast, with butter-smooth action:

Thanx for the memory trips.

Happy to oblige, I carried the heck outta the Worker, the Mrs had it engraved and that stainless was tough to engrave but all these years later you can still read it. I still carry the knife today though not a much, I take it out for anniversaries and special occasions nowadays. :)
 
Not super old, but I do have a G10 Police with ATS55. Circa 98-01, I think? One of my favorite knives. I've gone through a lot over the years, but this is one that has withstood the test of time. Spyderco took it in for a spa treatment recently. Replaced the clip, screws, and put a factory edge back on it.
 
I bought my first Spyderco Native in the mid 90s. My house was broken into in 2002 and it was stolen.
I bought a bunch after that but have sold them off, always wanting something new and different.
Still have 4 or 5 Spydercos. I just bought an Advocate. Spyderco just keeps on getting better!
Here are pics of some I've had in the past.



 
How about a nice old Ocelot? Probably one of the most hand-friendly Spydies I've ever owned.

Here is my goofy ATS55 delica. Daily carry. Wish I still had my plastic clip G2 delica and rescue - those were my first spydercos.

The Wegner is my oldest, and the Para is not far behind...

Here are a few that I already have on Imgur. I've got some older that eventually I'll get photographed.

A Centofante up front with a Blackhawk, Renegade, and a big Manix 1 behind.
All in mint condition.

Barman you break my heart in a thousand pieces showing us that C-50 Centofante model :( There are five older Spyders that I traded either out of stupidity or necessity ( funds) and the C-50 was one of them. And it really broke my heart when Mr. Glesser informed me that all the tooling and hardware which would have been required to do a Sprint Run was all gone or destroyed.

Now I'm still holding out hope that we'll someday see a newly revamped RENEGADE model with newer G-10 scales and some supersteel blade. There is just something about those first and second generation Spyders and grab hard at my heart-strings :o

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."

Glad you put up that GOLDEN, CO USA Earth made Spyderco RENEGADE model. Few people know that the Renegade and Blackhawk models both were made at the GOLDEN plant as well as their Japanese facility. There were not very many models made in both places and I can pretty much count them on one hand. I sure hope that RENEGADE does return in a Sprint Run with newer/better G-10 scales and one of the newer super blade steels. The RENEGADE was my main EDC for a little over a year the last one I owned.
