What the heck is this?

[philthygeezer]

This guy says it's a Spyderco but I am not altogether sure of that. His other auctions list "Spyderco's" that I have never heard of before either.

Anyway this is a very weird take on a multitool. What is it?

Phil,

The item pictured indeed appears to be a Spyderco.
Looks like the discontinued model 2002 Scuba Probe.
This model was intended for divers but also
found favor with police swat teams as an entry pry tool.

It's a great piece of spyderco history and if I didn't already have one I would be bidding!

The probe was made in two sizes, and is high on the list of rare Spydercos.

Yeah man, a REAL find!

I went ahead and put a bid down, just for the heck of it....

What do you mean by "2002" Scuba Probe??
That thing hasn't been made for years.

Don't know what he means by 2002.

I am not the one who posted the auction.

Jeff,

The Scuba probe had the model designation of 2002, it was introduced in 1989 and won the imported design knife of the year award.

The smaller version called the mini-probe was numbered 2003.

Thanks for clearing that up!
