C63 Chinook 1 clip

[grimey39]

Did the Chinook 1 ever come with a chrome clip or were they all black?

Both variants are possible, my Chinook I has a silver clip.
It's from the first production run.

Hey Marcus :) Is that Chinook I model of yours one of the 440V originals or is it one of the very few that they made with S30V? Because I've heard that the S30V Chinook 1 models are one of the most rare from that era. Also does anybody know if they ever used anything other than 440V or S30V for the entire Chinook line from I to III?

Beautiful pic by the way. JD :spyder: O

Hey Joe,
no it's the regular variant with 440V. The first production run was numbered way back then in 2000/01.
The S30V-variant seems to be extremely rare, I've seen it only pop but once here in europe in the last five years.

That polished spine looks very nice. It's the little details like this i really enjoy. Wish we could get a sprint of the original.

It is odd to see the polished spine. My 440V Chinook 1 (#383) has a square spine.

Maybe it was done after the factory. Either way it looks very nice.
