General Forum Knife Question - Serial Numbers?

#1

Post by AUXCOM »

Hello and belated Happy New Year all

In general do the annual Spyderco forum knives have individual serial numbers?

Is it possible that the factory did this for some years and not others?

TIA

There's a Spyderco Club that has serialized knives for each member. I'm not sure how the forum knives got numbered.

I believe only the older forum knives had "x out of x" numbers but the new ones should be numbered for collector club members. This page talks about number forum knives at the bottom.

I am a little embarrassed to say that I have 2 Lava forum knives that I bought new from NGK and the last time I looked at them was the day i received them and they've been in storage ever since. I was going through my collection over the weekend and was confused when I checked them out because they both come with little authenticity cards that say "1 of 140 sold" but at first I read it to mean "#1 out of 140" but obviously that is not the case. So I checked the knives themselves for #'s but the only thing the knives say is "Forum Knife 2006 Spyderco.com" Thanks for clearing this up for me. I need to play with my stuff more often lol but I do carry a blue G10 sprint Lava everyday as my money clip - cheers!
