Spyderco Forums

I was hoping the knowledge base here could assist me. I am trying to gather the date of release on the below lapel pins. I considered contacting Empire pins, but it may be a big ask considering I'm not even a customer. I've included a photo of my current collection that I'm not far off completing. I haven't even seen a photo of a Centofante or a Black Pacific, so if anyone has one I'd love to see it.

^ Very nice! I never realized they made so many!

Thank you. I really like that these represent the new release knife. If they were easy for me to get they would be on my hat and many other things.

Great collection! I almost bought the hawk and respect the other day. I have the euroedge. Hard to find much else prob just have to keep watching

Neat.

Didnt know this much Spyderco lapel pin variation even existed.

There is even a Euroedge in there.

OP, do you have all these knives as well? Cause I need to see the SpydieWrench

That's a really nice pin collection. I got a szabo hawk pin with a purchase once. Don't really remember from what or who.

Do any of them have moving parts? This is the coolest thing...

I have a lot of Spyderco knives but not the SpyderWrench as yet.

None of them have moving parts. That would make them expensive to manufacture. I agree they are very cool...

Pins don't come up for sale or trade very often. New models do for a while. I've been hunting the Manix, Centofante and a Black Pacific Salt for a long time now. It was hard for me to even find pictures of them when I started collecting these.

Good luck on your search.

I'll just wait for my next SFO visit. I try to go once a year at least

You have a very nice collection. Thank you for sharing the photograph of your pins!

Cool! Anyone have any idea how many pins were made? Is there one for every model? Anyone have them all?

I havent seen photos of them but I understand there was a Centofante and a Black Pacific Salt which I dont have. There is also a Manix which I have seen but dont have. That is all the ones available to non Spyderco employees as far as I'm aware.

Thank you.

Very nice collection!!! :cool: I wish I had that many. I believe this is what you are looking for:
I honestly don't recall where I picked these up. Might have been at one of the old factory stores in the Golden area, back before they shared space with the factory site. Here's the three I have:

Nice and impressive collection, I really liked this year's pin of the Respect Bowie.

Thank you Mr Blonde. At least I know what I am still hunting for. These don't appear in catalogues and rarely in photos as a collection or even as a collectable. I appreciate the effort.

I was juat about to say you are missing the Manix. I only know because its the only pin I have besides the bug.
