Now I am thinking why Spyderco didn't make any more knives with the same blade shape. I would to see 3.5" FFG worker with finger choil. I would change hadle a little, making it closer to Caly3.5 handle.

I think with a Caly 3.5 and a bit of careful, skilled grinder work you could have exactly what you seek Roman.

I could go for a larger version of the Worker as well, don't care for the ergonomics of the Caly series at all on the other hand. I believe I would prefer a design similar to the current design on the worker except lengthened if course.
Definitely throw the green G10 on it as well.

When I first got my worker, I was surprised at the blade thickness. I had to back and check the specs, the specs say 3mm blade. It seems wider than an Endura blade. Also, not pictured is the smaller opening hold on the Worker, but it operates well.

Finally got my Worker today! Aside from being a little gritty out of the box, it seems to be a fine specimen.

A couple quick pics...

Can someone please tell me if the hole on the Worker is sharp, or chamfered like the old days? Thanks.
- best wishes, Jazz.

I don't have an old one to compare to Jazz, but the edges on mine are fairly crisp. I would say it is somewhat sharp.

The blade shape is what got my attention for sure.

So the only thing different about this sprint run is the G-10 scales?
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

Well. The workers have not been made very many times or in a while so besides the rarity of dark green g10 the model is also not very common. I believe the point of the sprint was more to give us another worker. The CO1 worker was Spyderco's first knife and in many ways changed the knife world forever.

Its a 1500 piece sprint run so I wouldn't get to worried about finding one..

With that many being made they will be easy to get and prices won't go up for a good long while..

That is what I was thinking. I have bought so many knives lately and am trying to save for some other purchases and this one is gonna take me a while.

Im not fond of the g10 on it but I think it would look so nice with wood handles.
