Engraved Spydies
Looking at some old Spydies today. Tonydahose commented on the old Glasshartt Special Native so thought I'd start a thread on engraved Spydies we might have. For instance:
These is most of Glasshartt special series. Linda Glasshartt was a dealer here back and she prodded Golden into giving us a special break on knives + engraving. Spyderco offers engraving as an aftermarket service and this is one of their more popular designs.
Not positive when the PRCA series was offered. These were sold as you see them by dealers. I do not know if there are other models or if the Q came in PE.
Although the knives are not truly engraved per se, the Gary Blanchard models had after market engraved scales affixed and were sold by directly by Golden when they first came out.
I know there are plenty more out there like the Iraqi Freedom Natives and Enduras, the WTC Rescues donated by Sal to the save and serve folks in the aftermath of 9-11, the Wright-Flyer CoPilot, and others so if you got 'em post some pictures of your engraved Spydies...... :)

When I said that mercy stood
Within the border of the wood
I meant the lenient beast with claws
And bloody swift dispatching jaws.
Death Before Decaf! ! :spyder:

The Wright Flyer CoPilot:
Not sure if these were sold by Golden as you see or if someone had a special run of them made but they still show up on E-Bay from time-to-time.
(And yes, the F-16 IS Digital Trouble for anyone who has flown, maintained, or been targeted by one! :D )

Java, OT but did you ever hear what happened with Linda, I remember she was here for a long time and then all of a sudden she was gone.

She and Shawn are still in El Paso as far as I know. I haven't heard from the Lady G in a couple of years. Miss her posts here. She had a pretty good sense of humor putting up with us old Forumites.Simple Man wrote:Java, OT but did you ever hear what happened with Linda, I remember she was here for a long time and then all of a sudden she was gone.
