Did Spyderco create a collaboration with Timberline?
A friend of mine said he saw an ad about a Timberline knife called the Special Service. He also said the ad gave thanks to Sal Glesser?

Does anyone know anything about this knife?

Thank,
Allen.
 
Uh if Spyderco did design it I can see why they gave it to Timberline for sure. I'ts one of the ugliest S.O.B. knives I have ever seen

Well, I would'nt call it a beauty-queen but it's better looking than the Gunting.

It looks so much SPYDERCO-like that when I saw it first time I thought it could be some kind of rip-off. But in TIMBERLINE catalog it is clearly written “designed by SPYDERCO”. If I remember well it appeared about three years ago...

It handles as comfortably as steel handle can be comfortable at all. For me they are somewhat slippery, especially if they are even slightly oiled. On the other hand they are way sturdy. This one is decent heavy-duty performer and the only one wrong thing is the blade shape – it would be much more useful if it would be normal clip point blade with normal continuous edge, without all that pseudo-tanto-like inventions.

BTW, the clip can be moved onto either side and the back lock is ambidextrous by its nature. Very sensible choice for lefties.

If TIMBERLINE people read this Forum I bag them to make this knife with normal clip point blade!
