Hmmm, my oldest Spydie...

It would probably have to be either my Pink Cricket, or the pair of Carbon Fiber Dragonflys (PE and SE). Oh yeah, and the Ti Tanto Lum in PE.

Take care,

Welcome!
I have a red Endura from, uh, hmmm.
Maybe about '90-'91 or so, SE, broken clip.
It's not a trainer, it was a much-used work knife. I keep saying I'll get the clip replaced; same with an OD SE Endura.

Hi MJ and welcome.

I think my oldest is also a standard SS "economy" with punched-out clip (retired).

Not sure of the dates, but I have a SS 2-screw Worker, a steel-handled mini-mariner and a wooden-handled "Spyderkey" (small Worker).
I guess they're all pretty old.

My oldest would probably be my Standard PE. I bought it from a guy, that had it as an extra, for only $48. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Greetings and welcome aboard.
I couldn't say which is my oldest spydie. My first one was a Ladybug, but I presume the Copilot is older (as a model, of course, they were all NIB). I don't have any more the boxes to check the year.

[Blades]

Mjmcdowell,
Welcome to the Spydie forum!!! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
The oldest one I own and carry is my SE Endura. I bought it back in 1992/93. I still carry it daily.

Howdy and welcome to the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>Web! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Mine would be a dent-less ATS-55 Endura. Not overly aged, but it has served me well.

Never underestimate the impossible.

[Jazzman]

Not too sure of the years but I have a:
-Worker SE in G-2 steel
-Experimental Stainless Delica-non chamfered handle

Does anyone know about when these knives were made?

mjmcdowell,

A belated "Howdy" to the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>ranch! I trust you've been made welcome and met the crew....

My old FRN Enduras have dried up, been stolen, or retired to Dive maintenance kit duty. Oldest now is a recently purchased Stag handled Spyderkey and Mrs Vox's brother abalone mini-Mariner.

Stay safe! Stay sharp!

[4 s ter]

My oldest aren't all that old but both are discontinued - A black Micarta Jess Horn SE and a Titanium Lum Tanto Folder PE. Both are valued additions to my collection!

[lokelani]

My oldest would be the G-2 Worker.
Jazzman, according to my Spyderco Bible, the G-2 Worker first came out in 1981.
