Yes, that was our first ad. There were two ads with the Cheetah. The first used photographs and the second one was drawn. (shown above). The Khalsa ad was released about 9/11. There was also a poster made. We ended up pulling the ad and parking the poster because of 9/11. Though Jot is a Sikh.

It is what its called "synchronicity". Not in meaning but in image. Incredible !
I actually have a full sized wall poster of that Jot Singh Khalsa C-40 model. The Spyderco poster I have I'm sure was a dealer's advertisement of that model when it came out new. Also that poster is a bit controversial because it has Jot Singh Khalsa riding on the knife as though it was a magic carpet in the New York City skyline with the "Twin Towers" ( World Trade Centers) in the background. I've only showed it to 2 people since 9-11 happened and I've not seen one for sale or trade since then.
I've got a big load of past Spyderco catalogs, brochures and older ads from the past which I've kept for a long time. Actually I find all of them just about as intriguing as I do all the Spyderco products I currently own. I just wish that they would eventually do a sequel to the "Spyderco Story" book written by Kenneth Delavigne. It's coming up on twenty years since it was written. You would think that someone in the company or Mr. Delavigne himself would take it on.
