A question: printed on my blade is 066. Is this a early run or...?
It's probably a collectors club number. Each member of the collectors club commits to buying every knife, and Spyderco reserves one of each knife for them. Many of the members re-sell the knives they don't want secondhand (often before the knives hit the general market).
Thanks for answer. Strange I bought it new from a dealer in Sweden.

Many dealers are collectors club members themselves, and sell the CC pieces as inventory. And since all collectors club members have to work through a dealer, they could also have a piece from a private collector who simply asked them to sell it as new rather than forward it to him.
