Spyderco C09 CoPilot Varieties

Saw some NIB brass-lined for >$400 on the Bay last week.

Sold for $400 or asking $400? People can ask whatever they want, but asking and getting are sometimes too very different things.

Was gonna say I just paid 30€ for the aluminium variant and show it, but it has been delayed !
I'll still take a picture or two to share, just in case :)

Different things, indeed.

T’was (and remains) an asking price for each of three different pieces that all originate from one place.

Received the CoPilot. There was no box but I guess this is the sprint-run from 2006.
I love this bean-shaped handle ! It's extremely thin since there is no liners (good style though, to keep the sides grey, makes it look like there is liners).

I already disassembled and cleaned the thing and it's running very smooth now. I like that hollow grind, it's overall an excellent design IMHO ! Only thing that surprised me is that the paint on the clip goes away if you look at it wrong. There was some gone already but cleaning it the paper towel removed some by simple (and little) friction).

I know it won't add much to the thread but here's some pictures :

I was going to suggest that Spyderco combine the blade of the leaf Manbug with the handle of the Squeak, but a reintroduction of this Co-Pilot would be just as good.
