Vintage Hummingbird in Stag Horn...

#1

Post by sid137 »

Just snagged this Spyderco Hummingbird time-capsule example from 1990.

LOVE the stag horn scales and the fact that it’s a lockback and not a slipjoint for its diminutive size.

Great find! I've only ever managed to find one of the Hummingbirds:

I love the smaller knives Spyderco has made in the past :D
A tiger has claws.
A wolf has teeth.
An eagle has talons.
We, have Spyderco.

Nice, I saw that one. Thought about it, but couldn't pull the trigger.

It was hard, but I fondled my Kiwi and stayed strong!

:spyder:

Better hold on to it! I sold my Mini Mariner last year and instantly regretted it...
I need to find an abalone one, like Dutch.

The hunt never ends!

Love the stag horn as seen on Case’s...

But on a Spydie, it’s lust. ;-)

Very cool. Must be challenging to make and assemble. Any of y'all opening and closing these one-handed? Looks tricky.

That's awesome. Of course I would love to see some current models get the treatment :)
