My Precious...

#1

Post by buferoe »

Hello Knife lovers,

Yesterday we had our annual Have a Knives day here in the Netherlands and this was organised by Knives and Tools from Apeldoorn.
There was an old collection for sale from a person who died and the family didn't know what to do with it.
There were several nice and old Spyderco's in the collection and was lucky to obtain a nice and original plainedge SpydeRench in 440C steel with the original white box and papers, made in Golden Colorado.
How lucky can you be, so now this beauty is in my collection and I am very happy with it.

Greetz,

Werner

Amazing find. Is a good pocket knife a standard carry item for most folks there?

Nice find Werner.

Sal would you ever consider making another Spyderco multi tool with higher grade steel like VG10 or you don't see that as a desired product?

Great find for sure, but for those of us that are stuck with our Leatherman, how about posting a few pix of this really awesome find? :)

Picture is inserted, hope you guy’s like it.
This was a piece you think it will never be in your collection, so it’s very special to me.
For me it’s special because it’s a 440C blade, and everything is there and then I mean the complete paperwork and white box.

Greetz,

Werner

Man, that thing is like brandy new, freak'n box is even perfect condition... The new knifes I have been buying most often have the box smashed, and I usually snarl when I see it, as it's as much of the collection.

You really have a nice one there...
