SS Spyderco worker value?
So I was out and about today looking for knives and I didn't find much of anything that peaked my interest, aside from a Damascus stretch that was way out of my price range, and a very neat little spydie I had personally never seen, so I did some quick research and learned it was a Spyderco Worker, from what I know, it was one of Spyderco very first production knives, I could be mistaken but that is what I came up with in my research. But what I'm asking here is, what is an original SS Worker valued at? To a collector? The knife is in I'd say about 8/10 condition, shows signs of light carry use, and appears to have been sharpened at least once maybe more. Any information is very helpful, I'm new this and trying to learn.

Used maybe 80$ you can get the new g10 sprint wich is better construction imop.get it and use it they like that .it was mass produced for years so there are many out there.if you can get it cheap grab it.old lockbacks develope blade play overtime so ask about that b4 you buy it.the new sprint run is the best one .I would get that and use it
Re: SS Spyderco worker value?
Im no expert on the Worker, but there is a ton of different versions of it and the value will depend on different variables. I'll let someone else with more knowledge give you a value. One question will be how many clip screws does it have? another will be what steel?

I paid $100 even, they were asking $125, I bought it on the spot after I learned how old it possibly is, its in pretty good shape for its age I think. I have looked at the G10 version and it does look like something I would like quite a bit.endgame wrote:Used maybe 80$ you can get the new g10 sprint wich is better construction imop.get it and use it they like that .it was mass produced for years so there are many out there.if you can get it cheap grab it.old lockbacks develope blade play overtime so ask about that b4 you buy it.the new sprint run is the best one .I would get that and use it

Has 3 clip screws, says us patent 4347685 and foreign pats pend on the clip, and it has G2 stainless, which I have already seen in my internet searching, that it is not the greatest steel by any meansHolland wrote:Im no expert on the Worker, but there is a ton of different versions of it and the value will depend on different variables.

Re: SS Spyderco worker value?
I know I've seen some online vendors that still have them, I'd check the usual suspects.
looks like GPknives has them, good price too.
