OLD SCHOOL CUT KIT

#1

Post by LouisSeacamp »

Here's something from way back in Spyderco history. I've had this thing in my car's glove compartment ever since I got it back in the early 90's and all of the stuff in it has been used and changed out for new stuff over and over again accept for the Lady Bug and tweezers it has been used just never changed out! For every time we put new stitch kits and band aids and gauze wraps and tape in it, it has moved on to a new glove compartment. I mean in a few years it will be 40. One of the best inventions Spyderco has ever come up with as far as I'm concerned!

This is the kind of thing that should be in production still!
Put an LC200N Ladybug inside and it would be in every vehicle I own.

This most definitely should still be in production.

These are awesome! Thanks for sharing, Louis.

I would love to see an updated Cut Kit with a Ladybug 3 Salt! Anyone else?

Maybe Spyderco could do another collaboration with Vanquest to set up an updated Cut Kit? :cool:

Yeah, the originals had the yellow bug, I changed mine out to a black one with the thumb light attached so I could use the bug at night too.

I love the old ladybug with the photon lights. I have a few of them and the Jesters. They make a great pair. Nice work.

I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat if they were put back into production. How have I never seen one?

Here’s some additional info
Joyce Laituri, post: 3636593, member: 106536 wrote:Hi everyone,

I've not seen many Cut Kits for sale in today's secondary market, so placing a selling value on one would be difficult. They were available approx. 1992-1994 and back then MSRP was relatively high at $42.95. Kit included: A yellow serrated Ladybug, steri strips, multiple sized Band-Aids, latex gloves, tweezers, antibiotic cream and antiseptic towels.

Most people who bought them used them, so I've never seen one that is complete with all original components. Last one I saw (not complete) belonged to the editor of a knife magazine and he still carries his everywhere he goes. The potential of cutting oneself remains pretty high in that profession :D .

Hope this helps.

What with the Internet-amplified fascination for prepping and all the kit-making it involves, I wonder if a cut kit would find much of a market these days.
