Dear Bug1948:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

Unfortunately, your description applies to many early Spyderco models. Your best bet would be to look at the first few models on the Spydiewiki site: https://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?ti ... rco_C-SKUs.

Stay safe,

Mike

You can take a picture, go to postimage.org and upload it for free. Select hotlink for forums and paste it in this thread.

Sounds like a C08 stainless harpy

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking too. Because he's obviously referring to a "stainless handle" in his description. And the Harpy is a really old model>> maybe one of the very oldest in the line up.

Sounds like a Harpy.


And I read this thread title at least a few times imagining you literally taking a knife out on a date. The coffee is coming on kinda slow this morning.

I don't usually date my knives, but have to admit vintage Spydercos look very sexy :D

Welcome to the Forum . As said a picture would be very helpful . Do you have anything else to add to description ? MG2

Man, I'd love to see a sprint or other type of re-release of the Executive!!

Nah, that's where my mind went too, and I'm on my third cup.

When you say “semicurve”, do you mean in side view like a hook, or a hawk’s bill, or a cat’s claw? If so, I’d agree with others who think you have a Harpy. I date mine to 1988.
