Ok, just what Spyderco is this one. Love the marlin spike with a hole... dang first thing I see here that just blew me away was the dive knife, now this one too, and it has a cue-ball lol, just got to love it.

Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
C06 Tusk:
"The Tusk is both a state-of the art mariner’s tool and part of Spyderco’s history. The original design dates back to the early days of Spyderco’s beginning with Sal Glesser’s desire to produce a high performance mariner’s tool. The technology at the time was not available for the visionary concept. That’s all changed today, redesigned by Sal’s son Eric Glesser more than 25 years later has brought to light the original Tusk with new modern twists. Made from all highly rust resistant materials the Tusk features a blade made from LC 200 N and full titanium scales including a Reeve Integral Lock. The 300-series stainless steel marlinspike has round-to-square cross section to loosen knots efficiently with a high strength Ball Bearing Lock TM made with a ceramic ball bearing. The marlinspike includes one small sized shackle key in the marlinspike and another lager shackle key created when the marlinspike is closed. Both can effectively manage many different sized and types of shackles. Reversible Clip carry and lanyard hole give a variety of carry options. Thankfully, technology caught up with Spyderco’s early vision and the Tusk’s time is now."
The tusk is one way cool knife man. I love it. Sure wish we could still get those...it would be one I would have. Thanks for all your killer pix and info, I like all that as well.
