Lets see your oldest Spydie
A recent thread got me thinking that some of you freaks got to have one of the first Spydies made. Or at least something from way back.
Pretty sure this Endura is my earliest model although it might be my 440V SE Millie.

On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.
Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
If you're talking about the oldest Spyderco we own, mine would be one of these three "first generation" Mariners...
If you mean the one we've had the longest, this aluminum Peter Herbst was my first Spyderco...

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
Nice knives, Paul. Those old Mariner's are a thing of beauty. :) I'll have to do some digging to see what old Spydies I have. Maybe an old Co-Pilot or something fun...

To be clear I am looking to see the oldies, not the ones you may have had the longest.

Just to clarify, do you mean like circa early to mid-90's, etc.?HarleyXJGuy wrote:To be clear I am looking to see the oldies, not the ones you may have had the longest.

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
There is something really intriguing about the era of the late 90s because that's when it seemed like Spyderco really shifted gears in a huge part of their marketing. There really was a transition of sorts taking place during that time slot when VG-10, ATS-55, 440V all came into the folders of that time period.
But for nostalgia the Spyderco folders in the ATS-34 era were indeed some of the more interesting blades IMO.

That Pegusus is one really nice ergonomic model but unfortunately you don't see it around very often anymore. There was another one from that time period and even out of the same era >> the SPUR model was also a very ergonomical folder as well.
Also don't forget those Jess Horn models from that period as well.

Hey guys,
This is the one that started my addiction.
It was a gift from my buddy, sometime in the '90's.
Later,
Don

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
This one is probably my oldest.
Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
The Solo is only a quasi-Spyderco, but it's a few years older than the SS ATS-55 Dragonfly

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
Currently I think it's this Lime Green FRN Jester but the oldest I've had were a Endura and Worker, both SE ATS-55 and both gifted away since I dislike the steel.

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
I had an older Endura, probably not a record antique, but my daughter took it away from me.
I do have this old thing though, try to beat it! I bought it many years ago at the Texas State Fair, maybe from Sal himself.

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
I also had one of those AUS-8 RESCUE models>> AUS-8 was a really decent blade steel for Spyderedged blades. Although they did make plain edged RESCUE in AUS-8 but they are getting as rare as a two screw Worker model.D-Roc wrote:Ive got an AUS-8 Rescue, but im terrible at pics and failed at picbucket...or photobucket.

Some of the early Catcherman models were made with AUS-8 as well>> my first fully serrated Catcherman is AUS-8 and it's still one of my "go-to" blades in my kitchen endeavors along with my Temp 1 which I use a a mini-chef's knife.
I also believe that my set of Stainless Caly Junior models had AUS-8 as well. A great steel for Spyderedges for sure.

Re: Lets see your oldest Spydie
Is AUS-8 much different from AUS-6? My AUS-6 Endura edge is beat up bad. Can't remember if it is abuse or just bad steel.JD Spydo wrote:I also had one of those AUS-8 RESCUE models>> AUS-8 was a really decent blade steel for Spyderedged blades.

What would Spyderco do if I sent it in for warranty you think? Just charge me to fix the edge best they can?
