I've noticed C28GFPE Dragonfly 2 in black nishijin and ZDP-189 is also missing.

It looks like it is in there, the SKU-number appeared to have a typo that's fixed now.

Thanks for the updates.

C28GFPE is a Dragonfly 2 and has a ZDP-189 blade. The one currently listed on the wiki is in the Dragonfly 1 section and says VG-10. I'm not sure if they are two separate nishijin versions or C28GFPE is just in the wrong section with the wrong steel.

I guess I didn't realize my continued access was a glitch. I just thought Spyderco took over hosting and left all the permissions for the then-current editors intact, as Mr. Blonde and I were really the only ones updating the site in the later times before Spyderco took over, so I didn't notice a big difference when we were still the only two contributing after the changeover.

It's been a fun ride, but Mr. Blonde is a good steward and responsible for the majority of the updates the last few years anyway, with myself only contributing smaller details here and there, making slight corrections and updates, or digging up old info on past models. Best of luck to the Spydiewiki team! I look forward to seeing where it goes!

This actually comes as a surprise and again not, because over the years I have not noticed that communication was neither maintained nor sought after the takeover by Spyderco. I myself have publicly asked questions about the data maintenance process here in the forum and never received an answer.

I write this as a founding member of Spydiewiki with a bit of sadness, but that's what happens when you move from enthusiasm to business.

Enough said ...

It's in the right section and the steel has been fixed. thanks for the tip!

The timely, frequency and accuracy of the updates to SpydieWiki just haven’t been the same since Spyderco took over almost exactly 5 years ago. It’s a pity because it used to be a valuable resource. Regardless, it is what it is.

Hey, everyone:
No cause for alarm! We actually have taken over Spydiewiki.com and we're in the process of moving it to our registrar. The original registrar has an odd "hold" of sorts during the process and the unfortunate suspended page is part of their process. You should see Spydiewiki.com back up and running by Wednesday of this week.

We'll be handling the maintenance and new content moving forward. Seems there are a few threads about this (and possibly mention of it elsewhere too) so please feel free to share my update. I'm going to merge the other two threads on this topic as they were all started within a short period of time.

Thanks much!

I did work on Spydiewiki when it started, and have worked with Spyderco after the change in hosting of the site. I appreciate all the tips and hints about missing variants and exclusives etc… To make and keep the wiki 100% complete will be an ongoing challenge, given the rich history of the company and its non-stop output of new products and variations.

After the Spyderco took over the hosting of Spydiewiki, the main priorities were to add the Reveals, update the Mule team page and generally to expand the wiki to include all products. Back then, there were many ‘red’ links and non-exisiting pages. During this process, older and new exclusives, sprints etc. have been -and will be- added.

Spydiewiki has been updated on a weekly basis since Spyderco took over the hosting, also using your tips and info. I appreciate your input a lot! Although it might never be 100% ‘complete’, Spyderco’s goal for the wiki is to be as complete as possible by adding all products and their variants. Again, thank you for all the tips and input!

Did anyone ever work out what happened to “ spydiewiki.com/models/ ” ?
It disappeared with the changeover.
It was a very comprehensive and useful resource.
