I had to get a bit creative to find the answers, but thought, a small bit of perseverance, and common sense paid off in the end.;)

I've figured out answer 1, but I can not, for the life of me, figure out answer 2. The Delica came out in FRN in 1990, and the other FRN models that I can find came out later, but the Delica is incorrect?

Regarding FRN, it's the other one that you think came after but it was before.

Both answers become apparent when you look at all models chronologically.

This is what I though it was, but when I was wrong I knew my second choice had to be correct.

You need to remove the "closed.php" from the address.

Oh by the way people stop giving tips so people that don't care about Spydies come here, see your link or comment and get the answer in 3 minutes top chrono. I've spent countless hours in the past 2 years on that forum, mostly lurking 15 minute to 1 hour daily, and still had a headache figuring the first answer as I never cared for spyderedge. Guess that's enough to stop non-Spyderco fan from entering the contest. Don't given them the answer :)

Well it didn't tell me I was wrong, so I guess I got em both right? Wow! I mean I had a little help, but I was too lazy to really search out the answers and just went with my gut on both. Don't overthink it!
