#499

Part-serrated, no Klotzli on blade, large font engraving, matte scales, no bug on clip, clip engraving right side up.

On fleabay right now with an allegedly low reserve.

Hey, Jrs1979. Thanks for contributing! Any chance you can post pics of the back and front? If not, can you tell us a few more details?

#1 Does it have the word "Klotzli" engraved on the blade along with Spyderco and Walker?
#2 Is the Spyderco bug engraved on the clip?
#3 Is the clip engraving right ...

Howdy, Jrs1979.

There is a thread going on the C22CF to document all the variations of that rare knife. I don't think #732 has been documented yet. It would be great to get the vitals on it. If you are interested, you can search the site for the word "genome" and the thread should pop up.

Left hand, aluminum and plainedge?!?! Very nice. Looks in awesome condition, too. Thanks for sharing!

I have an aluminum C15 that has spent thousands of miles in my pocket on motorcycle trips, and even got the spa treatment from the factory when I yanked it out one time on a trip to show Gail ...

Fabulous knives.

Like SpyderEdge, the old days for me were also only Zytel clips and stainless choices. And then the mind was blown when the C15 Bob-T came out, and the knife world (and the Spyderco catalog) was never the same. I still think there is a market for Zytel clips--they don't scratch ...

Original C22 Swiss Walker, of course.

Brian, your knowledge of this business never ceases to amaze me.

I'll say it again: Buddafucco is a national treasure.

Thanks, Brian.

Missed you at the Oregon Show this year. Hope you and Catherine are well. Will try to stop by on our next trip back east.

Thanks, Sal. I might just take you up on that. All that had to come together to make this one production knife is probably nothing short of amazing. Lightning in a bottle, as they say. I think it would make a great story.

Unless you worked at a knife store in the 1990’s (which I did) it is hard to ...

Couple of new specimens to add...getting close to 100...

#1524 -- Gloss scales, no Klotzli, p/s edge, large font engraving, bug on clip, clip engraving right side up

#767 -- matte scales, no Klotzli, plainedge, large font engraving, no bug on clip, clip engraving right side up

#625 -- matte ...

And this seems like a fine opportunity for me to whine again for a C22 Walker with titanium scales and Super Blue.

echos...crickets...tumbleweeds...

Currently at Arizona Custom Knives:

#1003 -- matte scales, no Klotzli on blade, p/s edge, large font engraving, bug on clip, clip engraving right side up.

Buddafucco is a national treasure.

Interesting variant just popped up on ebay. It is the very first time I have run across a version that has no number on the blade. Additionally, it appears that the "engraving" on the blade isn't engraving at all--more of the "printed" style that reminds me of what was used on some Militaries. I ...

#980 -- matte scales, no Klotzli on blade, p/s edge, large font engraving on blade, bug on clip, clip engraving right side up.

Another first appearance..

#1586 -- glossy scales, no klotzli on blade, p/s edge, large font engraving on blade, bug on clip, clip engraving right side up.

Another new specimen on ebay...

#664 -- matte scales, no Klotzli on blade, plainedge, large font engraving on blade, no bug on clip, clip engraving right side up.

How about a Lum Chinese in carbon fiber (forged/marbled or layered) and K390?

I'll beg again for an orange peel titanium (like on the ATS-34 Police) and Super Blue C22 Walker, with a single mount clip as on the CF/ZDP run. I don't care what it costs. Take. My. Money.

Sal has also occasionally teased another sprint Walker over the years, so I wait patiently like a good boy...
