Strange, Unknown, Old Spyderco?

[J_Al_Jones]

Hey guys, I found this old Spyderco in the home of my uncle who passed away years ago. I've had it for quite a while, but I've never been able to find much researching it. Can anyone tell me anything about this knife? The patent number is 4347665 but there's several Spydercos that share the same patent. The weirdest part is the "Glen" logo on the handle and the fancy engravings. Never seen any other knife like this.

It appears to be a modified C11 Delica 2. It would have shipped from Spyderco with a plain steel handle, and someone added the custom engraving later.

Yes, def not factory made, custom engraving for sure. If you're trying to get a questimate of the value, I'd say whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Not much, unless your name is Glen. :D

^ Totally spot on.

Looking at the photos, It's hard to tell what state the tip is in- but the blade looks to have had a hard life.

There are a lot of engraved all stainless Spydercos out there in the wilderness- Just Google image search "Engraved Spyderco" and you'll see loads.
Lotta folks see that big empty slab of steel as a canvas for their art.
