Which spydies were/are available with CF handles?

[manowar669]

And with what blade steels were/are these models available? And just to add spice to the thread, show us some pics of your CF spydies if you have 'em.

Don't own any, but off the top of my head: Civilian, Delica, Dragonfly, Police, Ladybug, Navigator, and Walker (1st version) all had carbon fiber versions. I'm sure there are more, though. Most of 'em (but not all) used ATS-34 or ATS-55.

Sal is talking of a possible short run of CF PE Military soon

Were there really CF Navigators and Ladybugs? Those are two that I have not seen nor heard of.

CF Harpy is due out soon. :thumbup:

Navigator was only made in G-10, I believe. There was supposed to be a CF version, but I don't think it ever made to production.

Ladybug was made in CF, there was one for sale recently.

I should have linked to this page before:

Looks like the Navigator wasn't available in a production carbon fiber version, but prototypes do exist.

If we count protos then there is also 2 Natives out there in CF (one SE one PE). I know I saw pictures of the PE one on the factory forums a long time ago.

Well if you count protos, I have HELD a CF mili Proto

Thanks for the replies and link so far. Other than Ebay, where is a good place to find examples of these for sale, or are they really hard to find?

The Harpy will soon be very easy to find for a short while. The others occasionally show up for sale here or on ebay.

The one production CF model that seems to have been overlooked is the Cricket.

Prototypes get a bit trickier, in addition to the ones named, CF versions of the CoPilot and Pegasus appear on the inside covers of "The Spyderco Story", so would be a safe bet they existed at some point in time. Know Sal has mentioned CF protos of at least one or two others as well.

They are hard to find. I've been looking for a PE CF Dragonfly for a while.
