most variants?

#1

Post by spyder moist »

This has proberly been asked before, but what model has had the most variants?
Including all handle material,( colours) blade steels , edges etc?
My uneducated guess would be the native, being its on model 5.
But there has been lots of para military sprints, but the delica, endura have different colour frn handles. Mmm

Thanks spydermoist

When it comes to variety I think it's difficult to beat the C35 "Q".

Am guessing it comes down to either the Q or the Delica. There were at least 75 different Q blade designs and some of them, quite possibly as many as a third, came in both PE and SE. There were also color variants of at least a couple of them as well. So we're probably looking at somewhere between 100 and 110 or so variants. OTOH, the Delica has gone through 4 generations, and racked up a sizable number of blade steel, color, and other variants, many of which were produced in PE, CE, and SE.

According to Spydiewiki (which is not 100% complete): Q with at least 130 variants and the DELICA with at least 82 variants.

You can call me crazy but a while ago I counted the variant of each SKU in the Spydiewiki to see how many names where missing in the "Raise you..." list :) But never finished it I only got to C67 But I doubt there are no other SKU with more variants

Endura 43
Police 36
Military 32

well if Golden quits stalling on the Cruwear Para 2, it would have 21 (and it is just as deserving as the Millie and the Manix 2 of Cruwear skin)

16 varieties of the Kopa were released, though it wouldn't surprise me if there weren't a few with prototype materials floating around out there.
