I can see "CO" on the Blade and It has the "Spyderhole" Looks like one.

Looks like two old school Spyderco Micarta Calys...

IIRC they are pretty rare, if they are yours thats a great find :thumbup:

Yeah the blade looks like Spyderco but the handle is very Al Mar-ish.

Thanks guys. Any links to a similar knife?

They are indeed spydercos.

Part of the Calyspo series. Model C54. Those have Micarta scales and are worth a pretty penny.

Infact.... check out this thread http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37321 and even seen a picture you might recognize.

No problem! Heres a link of one that sold a few months ago. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=726733

I know I said pretty penny but to some people thats pocket change and others a long time of saving.

Did/do you have the change to buy.

Check out some Al Mar knives. Very similar polished linen micarta handles. And very handsome too if you ask me.

I have a lot of knives, but I've never found any to match the C54 Calypso. There were only 1200 made, 600 PE and 600 SE. There were issues in production that caused quite a few to have slightly warped blades, but even those cut like demons.
