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

Re: Vintage Hummingbird in Stag Horn...
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. ;-)

Re: Vintage Hummingbird in Stag Horn...
Very cool. Must be challenging to make and assemble. Any of y'all opening and closing these one-handed? Looks tricky.
Re: Vintage Hummingbird in Stag Horn...
That's awesome. Of course I would love to see some current models get the treatment :)
