Your oldest spyderco that you carry
Submit your oldest spyderco that you currently carry or have
Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
Hi, nikolasga20 and welcome to the forum. I think the oldest one I have is probably my C82 D'Allara Rescue, made around 2004, not very old by collector standards, but frequently used around the yard. I just used it today, in fact.

Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
The oldest ones I have are several first generation Mariners that were made in the early 80's. The oldest one I carry regularly is a burgundy Micarta Jester that was made in 2002 and that I've carried on my key ring since 2003.

Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
Not sure, probably my D2 Para1. It doesn't get carried a lot but I do carry it from time to time.

Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
I still occasionally carry (and use) the original Gin-1 snap-it that I bought when I was in college. That was sometime in the early 90's. I actually bought two of them, and the other one is my "glove box" knife in my work truck. I used to carry that thing clipped to my waist band when I was in graduate school. Fortunately that was in Georgia where no one freaked out about it. :)

Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
I think the oldest I have is an old micarta Diad Jr but the PE blade is extremely wore out so I don't carry it as much as I would like. Other than that I just have my first Spyderco which is the Native lightweight from about '05-06.
All SE all the time since 2017

Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
It's the only Spyderco model that went through three different names. Spyderco originally called it the Pro-Hunter, as it was an improved version of their Hunter, but they had to change that almost immediately when they found out another company had that name trademarked. It then became the Pro-Venator, venator being Latin for hunter. Not enough people understood that, so they changed it again to Pro-Grip. Given the G-2 steel marking on yours, I'd say it's from the Pro-Venator era, but most people would probably call it a Pro-Grip.Tim_B_Riding wrote:Mid 90's. Don't know the name of it.

Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
I was new to Spyderco when I joined this forum in 2011.
So rich since then have been the offerings of CQI'd models, collaborations, steels, and scales that I've done no actual backfilling, at least until last month.
That's when I acquired one of my grails, a sprint of the original Manix that came out in 2008. I've carried it several times, especially on windy days...
I still don't have a Delica or Endura of any description (well, I do have a Tasman Salt and Pacific Salt modeled on them), and would be happy as a clam to find an older or original model at a yard sale, a pawn shop, or Good Will, but I've never really shopped such venues. I'm not big on shopping, actually.

Re: Your oldest spyderco that you carry
Mine is a 2007 ZDP Delica 4 that I subsequently hand-convexed to a zero edge. I still carry it sometimes.
