I admit I'm new here (in the Spyderco forum, not to BladeForums), so I'm a bit confused by some of the abbreviations. So far I've figured out PE=plain-edged, SE=serrated-edge, PS=partial-serrations, SS=stainless steel, CF=carbon fiber. I can't figure out FRN other than its some type of plastic for the handles, and I'm at a complete loss about CE.Is there a Spydie FAQ here, or can somebody pass me a dictionary?

PS Currently the only Spyderco I own is a Delica I found in a ditch a several years back. I replaced the plastic clip when it broke a couple of years ago by using some coathanger-wire in a clip shape and J-B Weld to mold a new base. I fell in love with Spydies in a pawn shop before this, when I picked up a Police model that opened in that perfect Spydie-Drop that I've heard about since. I couldn't afford to get it or any others then because I hadn't yet discovered the joys of long-term employment.
 
Hi Txmoonwolf, glad you found your way over here.

FRN = Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon. The budget priced handle material Spyderco uses on some models. FRN and Zytel are more or less the same thing, one is a generic name, the other is a specific brand.

CE = Combo Edge.
 
Almost forgot.
As for a Spyderco FAQ you could look HERE
If you look at the left of the page you will also see a lot of other useful information and knives and material, as well as other Spyderco relavent material.
 
Thakns for the help! I thought last night that maybe CE was Combo Edge, but I wasn't sure if that would be Spyderco's name for the part serrated or not (trademarks and such).
