swiss made spyderco

[ryosuke]

I found this on internet. looks like a carbonfiber handle. selling for about 416 US dollars. Is this a rare spyderco?

Looks to me that Klotzi had something to do with it...

At a guess, it's an aftermarket modification, rather than a regular run.

 

[Artfully Martial]

That's really beautiful CF work.

Yeah, I'd guess a custom job.

I'll have to see if I can dig mine out; but, it looks like the original Walker model. I'm not sure about the markings, but the carbon fiber looks like what I remember.

Hello,

I can confirm that this model was made in Swizerland by Klotzly for Spyderco.:thumbup:

Now it's a collector. This edition of the michale Walker high tech folder is no longer available on the market.. and rather expensive on the aftermarket

It's really a nice gentleman knife with high quality of making and materials. just look closely at the carbon fiber of the handle. it has been polished to offer a rare brightness.

Too bad I don't have one !!!

Take care,

Bob

Yes, It is the C22 Michael Walker, total lenght: 5-7/8", blade 2.5".
It was made by Klötzi, for Spyderco, in 1994. It weights only 1.5 oz.
In 1996 Spyderco introduced a C22 with an AUS 8 blade (the Klötzi was ATS 34).This knife was made in Japan. They called it the C37.
In 1999 they changed the name to C22BK, Michael Walker Lightweight model.

Beautiful shots, thanx for the memory trip.

The original Walker. Designed by Michael. HP and his staff did a great job on manufacture. Still beautiful.

416 for that knife? no way....

but it's a nice design...I've always liked the C22. Wish it had thicker liners, haha.

 

[alejandrino]

I carry the C22 blue Walker and love it! Nice and small. Knife that small does not really need a thick liner lock. Never failed on me!:thumbup:

Hey Guys....

Anyone see the beginnings of the Gunting in these knives ???

Picture a Horn over the Spyder hole and you'll see what I mean..

Than why not bring it back? I'm sure there is a good market for it!
