Spyderco fixed blade on CSI New York...
Spyderco fixed blade on CSI New York...
Looking at tape of last nights CSI New York and recognized the potential murder weapon as a fixed blade Spyderco. Just got my first Spyderco Military about a week ago and know now that there are many more destined to be brought into the fold, including the fixed blade models. Have not been involved long enough to identify the model seen on CSI, but the immediate recognition that it was a Spyderco was something that would not have happened for me even a few months ago. At first thought it looked like a fixed blade police, but that is most likely incorrect. Anyone else see it and know what it was?

Thanks for the link and the welcome. It's good to be here. Been reading and getting a good education with regard to the Spyderco brand. It's refreshing to see so many posts from Sal Glesser too with answers to questions from the users of his products.
Ok...so after looking at Teds page, nothing seems to be an exact match, but maybe a Delica or Police might be the model if they were made with a fixed blade. Did not say Police on the blade though. It was a fixed blade Spyder edge with stainless handle. Prob take someone with more expertise to make a positive id.
Turned out it was not the murder weapon after all, but was used by a perp to self inflict wounds in order to stage a crime scene. Then the perp gets randomly murdered by drowning as the result of a twist in the plot, by a totally unrelated criminal act.

I was wrong when I said I was virtually positive it was the stainless steel Police model.
The blade is Endura shape and as SoCal Operator says below, it looks like it's been modified to make it "actor-safe"
A prop knife made from an Endura? AFAIK Spyderco has never made a fixed blade that looked like that

It's possible....got it on tape and they showed it pretty clearly from several angles. Hit slowmo and pause and looked hard for the lock back and the gap in the handle to accept the blade on a folder and saw neither. Wasn't designated Police on side of blade either.4 s ter wrote:I'm virtually positive it was the stainless steel Police model - a folder, not a fixed blade.
Nah it was a new episode; it was where the female victim was drowned in one of those new self cleaning pay toilets on the New York sidewalk. I had seen a news report about those before but don't know if they are really being used there now.
The other crime was a guy burned alive while riding a street luge. Wheels tossed gas and oil residue floated from the street by a light rain onto the rider. Then he went so fast that the wheels got hot enough to ignite the accelerant. Accidental death by street luge.
Sounds like the makers of CSI like Spyderco products if they have been used before in a previous episode too.

I'm not sure what it is. It looks like a SS Spyderedge Endura II with the clip removed and serrations ground off, but there is no lockbar, it looks full tang, and the scale looks funny. You can see the Spyderco stampings though. Odd....I want one :D :D
You can go to the CBS CSI:NY page to see the episode, it is in the first part, then again later on.

Prob is. Was hoping there might be more to it than just a production knife modified to make it actor safe. Like maybe a preproduction prototype, or custom one off knife provided at the request of a big budget tv show, where cost is no object.
Read a story about some Mad Dog knives that were ordered for Steven Segal to use in one of his movies. Something like seven knives I think. The knives were sent razor sharp. The props people returned them to Mad Dog to have them dulled. Segal found out and sent them back to have the razor sharp edges put back on again, lol.
