Info on laser etched stainless Rookie

[5-by-5]

My cousin is negotiating on this etched Rookie. Said to be etched by a Spyderco employee.
So now I'm interested in any info about this and other models laser etched.

It looks like it was possibly done by Glasshart. Back in the early 2000’s, there was a woman here named Linda Glasshart who would do small-batch runs of that pattern on SS Spydercos. I have a SS Delica that she etched with the same pattern as the one pictured above. I believe the pattern on mine extends over the blade as well. I’ll see if I can post a pic later.
