My Oldest Spyderco is the combo-edge SS Native. This Spydie makes it into the EDC Rotation about once a month I will gladly carry this knife for Old Timer's day. My Oldest knife shall be carried also, a Schrade Old Timer #93 given to me by my Grandfather about 35 years ago.
I already have them clipped onto the pants and waistband and pockets I'm ready to celebrate..........can't seem to stop playing with that Old Mariner for some reason.......but I'm all polished and ready to go.......Just realized that many of my old timers have my name or mongram engraved on them...wonder why I stopped that practice :confused: they do look kinda cool.......Doc :D
HAPPY OLD TIMERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL... EVERY day's a good day for an old Spyder, IMO! I think I'll choose the Worker in GIN-1, or maybe the Blackhawk in GIN-1, or... This is hard, just like it is to choose every AM! :cool:

Count me in Dr. S !!!! Wow you must have some BIG pockets !!! I'll carry my old FRN clip SE Rescue, and SS Police!
As Old Timers Day comes to an end...I must say I really enjoyed cleaning, carrying and playing with some of my OldTime Spyders Today....Back to normal EDC for tomorrow (feeling a little sad, as I put them away...kinda like out with the old in with the new) .... we should do this more often....Doc :D

Um, Doc- Today (Friday) is Sept. 1st, so you hafta carry an oldie again. :) Yesterday was just a warm up! That is, if you want to celebrate on the 1st... Same goes for everyone else- you'll have to carry an old one today again, if you thought yesterday was the 1st.
Okay, Doc, for OTD I dragged out my AUS8 FRN molded clip Delica and my old FRN Horn, put them in my pockets and slid my G-2 Police IWB. Too bad I don't have any OLD Spydies (like my Schrade double button knives with patent dates up to 1916 - now THAT'S old time!) :D
Hopefully, more folks will start to carry the oldies more often- sure the new ones are awesome, but so are the older ones! Just ask the Firefly, AL Terzuola Jr., and GIN-1 G-10 Navigator I happen to be toting this fine, dreary, and wet day! They are happy to be out and about, let me assure you! :cool:
