Another JDM Wood Inlay Hunter
SKU C03PS
Ebony inlay
ATS-55; different steel than Cocobolo version in previous post; later, not listed in Teh Wiki
previous, Cocobolo:
lack of color variegation makes ebony less than ideal for a small inlay, IMO;
sidebar: best used for e.g. fingerboards, Gotoh tuners,
and bridges, bridge pins

OK, how about some Spydie swag?
Microfiber shirt, Black with white piping, sz L
Polo -or perhaps it was labeled as Golf shirt?
(I don't play golf; "You play any college (foot)ball?" "I played a little...polo.") Surfingringo might get it ;-)
SKU: SCPSBLKL (or perhaps SCGSBLKL)
The microfiber fabric is wicking and cool, and has a smooth and silky hand.

Spyderco's history is checkered with the Camillus collaboration chapter, a point of contention with Spydie fans, but worth noting for the historical interest. You may read all about it elsewhere if you so inclined.
Reject posted the PE version; here's an SE example, to fill that hole.
Native, Black FRN
440A SE
SKU BRK(S)
Optimistically marked "1st Generation"
(Reminds me of competing in early Triathlons 30-40 years ago-- T-shirts emblazoned with "1st Annual blah-blah Triathlon," which turned out to be one-and-done. or resurrected 25 yrs later)
Can you name at least two other knife companies with which Spyderco collaborated, with smooth outcomes?

Re: I'll see your Spyderco and raise you another!
Here are the first three (or four) to come to mind:nicked.onaut wrote:Can you name at least two other knife companies with which Spyderco collaborated, with smooth outcomes?
The C96 SpyKer, which was a collaboration with Kershaw.
The C99 Volpe with Fox Cutlery.
The C157 LionSpy (and subsequent C181 Lil' LionSpy), with Lion Steel Knives.

prompted by jabba359, here is the Mini Spy Fox, little brother of the Volpe
Olive wood onlays
N690Co PE
SKU SPY02 OL
also made with Ambyona
from TazKristi:

The SpyFox is a collaboration between Fox Cutlery and Spyderco. The collaboration was initiated by Fox Cutlery and they are the manufacturer of the SpyFox. AG Russell has an exclusive with Fox for the two variants shown. Please be aware that any warranty issues will be handled by AG Russell, not Spyderco and as an AG Russell exclusive, they will not be available as part of our Collectors Club.
Hope this clears things up a bit.

Re: I'll see your Spyderco and raise you another!

size contrast, eh
Raise: Dive Probe
Electropolished 440C
SKU 2002
1988 production
Combination abalone iron and ruler for measuring shells for legal size.
A solid estimate of legal size is important *before* levering the abalone off its fast. Putting an undersize ab back in place has high mortality, including due to exsanguination. Abalone lack clotting factors, and a small wound to the foot from prying can result in fatal blood loss. Sal's Probe has an angled tip with smooth contours and edges to help the careful diver avoid that consequence.
Serrated lockback blade, with line cutter at the spine. Issued with a lanyard which incorporated surgical tubing. (Tip o' the hat to one-eyed Jack O'Neill, the king!)
The larger is a red abalone, from Catalina in the early 70s. It has weathered over the years from its post outdoors in the bonsai garden.
The smaller is a pink ab, which over the decades has served in house and in shop as repository for everything from keys to coins to misc project parts. Taken in the 60s at a favorite Palos Verdes surf and dive spot.
Declines in the abalone population in California were complex and multi-factorial, made precipitous by Withering Syndrome (Rickettsial infxn, for all you Rocky Mountain Spydie-folk). In 1997 the California fishery was closed to all species except Red abalone, which remains under stringent management in Northern California.
Of course abalone are found in healthier populations in other parts of the world, with rock-pickers and diving harvesters alike, but the domestic market for this knife existed as a dwindling then nearly shuttered window. Not to say that it can't be used for other dive purposes, of course.

hmm, like playing Solitaire, here....
perhaps a suitable raise:
Solo 5 Buttonlock
G10 scales
AUS-10 PS
SKU SO05PS
The Solo line is the red-headed stepchild in the Spyderco family, and evokes contention between the lumpers and the splitters, the purists and the big-tenters. (enough with the mixed metaphors)
All of the Solos were designed by Sal Glesser, and built by Sakai. The elegant earlier models came with production issues, and marketing and distribution was challenging for the line as well. Altogether an interesting side channel in Spyderco history on which you can read up in the archives here, and on BF.
