What is this?

I've had this Spyderco for at least 15 years. A nice, lightweight blade. Just curious what the actual name is and the type of steel. Only marking is P31.

Spyderco Q knife, the P might stand for prototype. These knives were made for various companies back in the day.

Hi Alpiner,

Welcome to the Spyderco forum.

As Rycen mentioned, it was a custom "Q" piece, mostly sold in Colorado.

Cool, thanks. FYI contrary to that web site, this has a 2nd generation handle. It's a keeper.
