Spydie with no blade hole?

[chuck_roxas45]

I know of one, any others?

[npueppke]

I thought that they mentioned one in the SHOT show prototype thread.

C27 Jess Horn is the only one I know of, but that's probably the model you were referring to.

I know some folks don't count the Solo series from the early 90s - since they are sort of a "sub-brand" of Spyderco. But they don't have holes either.

In addition, to my knowledge, the kitchen knife line doesn't have holes. I've got the little paring knife and the santoku. Great kitchen slicers...

It was actually the ronin I was thinking of.

I maybe wrong but does the original Temperance not have a Spydie Hole?

[araneae]

Most of the fixed blades were originally made without a hole. It was adopted later to make the brand more uniformly trademarked.

I see, thanks. :D

The Spyderco Laguiole didn't have a hole either...nor did it have any Spyderco markings/labels.

Oh how I wish we had a Spydie bug on the laguiole instead of the bee. It wouldn't be so much of a laguiole then, but more of a Spydie. Hole or not.

Aside from the SPOT, none of the older fixed blades had a hole, that gimmick only started a few years ago. IIRC, the Street Beat was the first model to have one.

In folders, the C27 Horn is the only Spyderco branded knife without a Spyderhole opener, although it did use another implementation of Spyderco's patent, a trapezoidal depression on each side of the blade to allow one hand opening using your thumb. The Laguiole was sold as the RAMCO Laguiole. It does not carry Spyderco's name, or :spyder: logo anywhere on it or its sheath. I classify it with the SOLO knives, as a sub-brand created by Spyderco to avoid diluting their "look". I will note that Sal, and some collectors, consider it a Spyderco despite that.

Ah, thanks Deacon. Very interesting and informative.
