Spyderco Ronin FB09
I purcased this knife in 2013 from a collector. It came to me without a box, just the knife and neck sheath as pictured. No cord or belt attachment is included. This knife has not been used or carried, and is in excellent condition. The blade is marked with "484" which I believe is a Spyderco Collectors Club number.
The knife is minty with only some light friction marks from contact with the sheath. The sheath also has a few light storage marks. See pictures.
Info from the Spyderco sales page below:
What is a Ronin? Translated literally it means "wave man". Rendered understandable to the western world, it's an ancient masterless Samurai warrior. In the knife world the Ronin is a fixed-blade neck knife designed by Michael Janich. Mike Janich took the design to custom knife maker Michael Snody who for several years made and sold a custom version. The Ronin is Spyderco's production version.
By virtue of its short blade length it is lawfully acceptable for carry most anywhere. The blade has a modified Wharncliffe-shape and is crafted of VG-10 stainless steel. Available PlainEdged, the cutting surface is flat-ground, honed thin and fiercely sharp. Made from an imposing 3mm thick slab of steel, the blade comes pressed between two pieces of slate-colored linen Micarta. Texturing along the spine provides a location to place the thumb and offers extra gripping ability when choking up on the blade. On the bottom side of the handle a yawning index finger choil situates the hand for quick retrieval and responsive control while cutting. Three dime-sized holes drilled out of the handle knock out a few grams of weight and provide indexing. Gripped in the hand, the stout little blade and curved handle feel rock solid, goading you to put it to hard-use.
