Spyderhawk
Spyderhawk
A couple of Spyderhawks recently wandered into my collection. Aside from the obvious difference in the pocket clip, the yellow one is pinned and the orange is screwed. Were these updates found on the originals, or just the orange sprint run?
Re: Spyderhawk
I believe the screws were an update to the salt/endura before the endura 4 scale design came out.
Re: Spyderhawk
I haven't seen a non sprint spyderhawk with screw construction

Re: Spyderhawk
Only the orange Sprint run got the screw construction update, all the others are pinned.
Re: Spyderhawk
I have a yellow spyderhawk with the screw construction.
I think this was done right before they discontinued them.

Re: Spyderhawk
Well I got out some of my older Spyderhawk models this morning. My Endurahawk has pinned contruction and so does my ultra-rare, blue handled PE Spyderhawk. My other two oldies also have pinned construction as well ( VG-10 models).
Now my nuclear Orange handled unit that the guys gave me when I was recovering from a horrible knee surgery ( thanks again guys :) ) it has screw construction. I've misplaced my Yellow handled SE user Spyderhawk that I acquired about 2007 or thereabout. But when I find it I'll let you know what it has. I hope that helps somewhat for you to get the information you need.

Re: Spyderhawk
I concede the point. All of my yellow Salt Spyderhawks were purchased about 30 minutes after they were released and I was unaware of the change to screws before they were discontinued.
Re: Spyderhawk
Here's all of mine except for for my endura hawk. Not sure where I put that one. The 2 at the top are actually yellow H1s they were purchased as soon as available too.
I posted the box so people can see the date code. I purchased the spare yellow one a few years ago when I found it for $100.

Re: Spyderhawk
Interesting.. I got each of mine for $100 cdn. Not a bad deal at all!
Re: Spyderhawk
They tend to roll out changes gradually. If you have a Pacific Salt 1 from the last year they were made, chances are it has Sal's logo on the back side and has blacked out hardware like the second generation.
I've seen Spyderhawks in yellow with screw pivots but none with the updated clip design. Vash, do any of your yellows have the rounded clip?

Re: Spyderhawk
Wouldn't mind a run of these.

Re: Spyderhawk
The Orange model I have has the rounded clip. My blue PE Spyderhawk ( VG-10 model) has a stainless clip. It's the only one of my Spyderhawks that did have a stainless clip.
I'm still holding out hope at some point for Spyderco to make a Spyderhawk with a G-10 handle. I truly think if they would make some of their Hawkbill models with G-10 handles I do believe that sales would spike in the upward direction.
I also still think if Spyderco would team up with one of the lawn & garden catalogs like A.M. Leonard and let people know how good of a tool that Spyderco's Hawkbills are for that type of work>> that would change the market for Hawkbill blades completely IMO >> once people seen first hand how good they work for those types of jobs I do believe that they would sell hundreds of them just in the lawn, garden and landscaping sector alone.
