I've taken a liking to this brand known as "Spyderco"........


I was curious, can some of you post pics of your old spydercos? I've seen what the delica 3's look like, what about the delica? Or any really wierd sprint runs? That'd be cool...
 
These are two of my favorites - SE Endura and SE Delica with Black-Ti coated blades. I always liked the older models with the molded clips as they present little to no risk of damage to clothing, auto paint & seats, walls, etc.

Here's a Starmate, that I've posted here before but it probably isn't on the board any longer. I think it was bought about 1999.

A pair of Shabarias one collector numbered with the closed back and pinned construction, the other open backed and screwed.

Almost forgot about this one...Black-Ti coated GIN-1 SE Police (Did I mention that I like all black Spydercos? :D).

Arg. The oldest Spydie I own is a single lined S30V Military. All of those knives look fantastic! Especially the Starmate and the Large Persian. :thumbup:
 
Not too old as it's my newest Spyderco my ATR PE but my first was a Snap-It SE with red handles and black checkered inserts. Which has long been discontinued but lived on my fire gear for years before it was lost as some point.

@ Bogie: Not a good style to use my Snap-It picture, buddy; I prefer if you ask in advance.

Pete I didn't know who's photo is was it was just the first pic on Google that showed a Snap-It.

My old Spyderco 2 screw. Didn't care much for this model. Was in a toolbox in my truck for years. Still locks up solid and worked great on hoses.

The GIN-1 era of Spyderco blades was a very interesting and developmental stage of the company's progress. There are so many of those older models with GIN-1 that I would personally like to see come back with some of the newer, super steels.

What I wouldn't give for a C-01 Worker model with ZDP-189 or a Blackhawk with CPM-D2.

A Renegade model with S90V would sure get the attention of many users and collectors.

But then again I've always thought Spyderco to be way ahead of their time in many facets of knife manufacture.
