Which G-10 Spydies have/had liners?

[Aux]

Which models, regardless of the lock type, past or present, have had G-10 handle scales, and either a single or dual _full_ liner?

So far as I remember now: Standard, Military, Police, Gunting, Chinook, Civilian, Bob Lum Tanto. Not sure about C25 / C50 (F. Centofante) and the Blue Native.

I see a problem in my question. What I meant to ask is:

What models with G-10 handles had a steel liner, or in the case of a liner lock had dual liners?

My question was flawed because where a Military for example always has a single liner ( because it is a liner lock :footinmou ), the Police were available unlined or with a single liner, possible because it is a lockback.

I seem to have a dislike for unlined G-10 handles, or Lock-Liner-Only Liner-Locks ( LLOLL ). So I am looking for specific types for my rotation.

I really like the lined G-10 Police, but find the Military a bit unsubstantial - I am sure it is tough enough, but I like a bit of heft to the feel. Probally why I do not own a Glock - nothing wrong with them, just not "metallic" enough for me.

Just for the record, the blue G-10 Native doesn't have any liners.

"Unsubstantial" is not one of the words I would choose to describe the Military

I know what you mean Aux. The last two Spydies I got were the Blackhawk (unlined G-10) and the Standard (single liner)and I was surprised by the difference in feel. I much prefer the added heft and solidness of the Standard. I thought that the Blackhawk was just a smaller version of the Renegade, which has a liner. What about the Rookie, lined or unlined?

Both large and small Wegners, the G10 Harpy, the reissued Blackhawk and Renegade(the originals had no liner), the Bob Terzuola G10 handled C19(smaller one) all have single full liners.

The G10 Centofantes have half liners, while the earlier aluminum handled models had a full liner.

With Spyderco's designs, there is no need for dual liners in a liner-lock knife made from G10. The second liner is superflous and often eliminated to make a lighter, smaller package and thus a knife more likely to be carried and be unobtrusive.

For lockbacks, the liner provides anchors for the screwed-in clip, that's why there is only one liner and it's on the clip side. In the past, Spyderco has had design failures with clips screwed directly into micarta or G-10.

I believe the Keating has dual-liners and a lock-back, why I'm not sure, maybe to satisfy those who need a beefy knife. Is it G10? However, there are enough other spyerdco successful designs to prove dual liners are not really needed with G10.

A single liner was added to the G-10 Rookie. I have one of each...

Thanks Ed. I'm curious about the Rookie. What's the difference between it and the standard if they both have a single liner? Which is larger?
