Hi Mike. Welcome.

The Worker was our first model. It was introduced in 1981 and was the World's first knife to have an opening hole and a clip.

After a 20 year run, it was time to let the old girl retire and make some room for new models.

Mike, I have a bunch of Spydies, but no worker. If you are intersted in a swap, let me know.

This may be off-topic but it is related to the Worker. I have a plain-edged Worker and don't know what production year(s) it was part of.

Question: Out of the box, is the swedge supposed to be factory sharpened to a false edge? I've read where you're supposed to be able to open the blade only partially and be able to cut string. I find it difficult to do with the unsharpened swedge.

Hey, Rebel, I live in South Carolina too. That was kind of off topic, but oh well. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
I thought Spyderco brought the worker back for a while.

sc_rebel1957 · #16

toothed the worker i have has a very pronounced swedge.i suppose it would cut string....and im sure u could sharpen it enough to be effective..but from what ive learned i dont think id try it cuz of the collectors value. if its 1 of the originals..chinook posted some great pics of this knife in an earlier post called 1st run clipit worker about a week ago.:-) ron
