What exactly...

[hank_rearden]

is a Spyderco V8-10 military knife? is is named independent of the golden military?

No idea what you are talking about Hank. I suspect that the must have been a simple typo involved rather than an elaborate conspiracy though.

Maybe someone described it as "military" to mean tactical, with a blade steel of vg-10.

 

[hank_rearden]

it's offered at the bay. rather cheap as it is described as 'used.' that's he product photo you're looking at.

Looks like a CE Endura 4. I think the description is just bad.

 

[KNaB]

ok....apparently the way the blade is stamped may make the "g" look like an "8". According to an old spyderco thread.

Hank,
That is our C10PSBK Endura4 made in VG-10 of course but I would guess they are calling it a "military" because of the sticker on the box. The 5110 number is an NSN so this knife was at some point acquired through the National Stock System most likely by the military (several years ago - that's an old box). The NSN isn't associated with that model, but if the specs for the NSN were basic enough it could have been procured under that NSN simply because it met spec.

thanks guys. i thought it was a CE endura but the seller even featured it in two frames with the same description. i suppose you expect sellers to really know their knives.

i suppose you expect sellers to really know their knives.

If you do, you're in for a rude awakening. There are lots of clueless sellers on the 'bay.

Hank if you type V8-10 Spyderco in the Bay search box 8 items come up. It is a common mistake sellers
make when they don't know the name of a knife model. They think vg-10 not v8-10, which is stamped on the tang to designate the blade steel is the model name of the knife. It is an Endura.
