I own a dark blue one (that, as Wire Edge mentions, is so dark that it sometimes looks black). It is fairly old. I seem to recall it was the first mass produced waved Endura from Spyderco.
That may be what I have. I haven't been able to find any close-up pics though. Hopefully tonight I can view the video referenced in the knock-off thread.
Mine has a barrel bolt mounted clip and the "Emerson Pat. #5.878.500" is engraved on the blade. There is no spider logo on the blade.

Did that, thanks. I also watched several of les_garten's vidoes. Good stuff!!
Anyway, I'm happy to say I'm confident I have a real one. Evidently the color is actually gray, that's what led to my initial confusion. It's certainly very dark, but I found a lot of other commentary comparing it to a dark charcoal gray or navy blue, not like the current light gray models for sure.
