What model is this?

[rdnzl]

I came across this sweet handling Spyderco the other day. I'm wondering what model it is? Definitely going to be a user, and it already has a little wear here and there. But it is super sharp. VG10 steel.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's a Centofante 3 I think. Maybe not a 3, but it's definitely a Centofante(don't trust my spelling, though).

I was thinking Centofante, or maybe a Horn.

I'm positive it's a Centofante, actually. I did a quick google search and that's what it looks like to me, a Centofante 3.

It is definitely a Centofante. It's identical to the one I had.

Thanks much! Centofante 3 it is.

Its a Centofante 4. You don't see them around very often. I had one. It was my first Spyderco

Nope. Centofante4 had a straight edge "wharncliffe" blade. The Centofante3 was/is a back lock version of the earlier compression lock Vesuvius. That is what the knife in the pictures is, the Cento3.

Definitely a Centofante 3. One of my favorites.

I like it a lot. It carries nice and deep in my pocket. It has a very useful blade shape with a very nice looking grind.

Got it at a yard sale for $5.

Except for the wear on the clip, I can hardly tell that it has been used.

It's a nice knife any way you slice it.

I always considered the Centofante 3 a good alternative to the delica.

That's got to be the best bargain ever.
