Goddard Jr. Question

[RJNC]

Was there ever a fully serrated Goddard Jr?

[The Deacon]

Good question. According to Spydiewiki, it appeared in a 1993 brochure, but there is some question as to whether it was ever actually produced. I know I've never seen one.

Looks like the was. Here's a good link for a lot of Goddard info...

I've seen a few, but there are not many out there. It think they were the micarta version only and I may have had one years ago in the micarta handle if memory serves.

I ask, because I was trying to buy a full size Goddard Micarta fully serrated and they sent me a Jr, I thought it might be a fake. Came with the Spyderco zip pouch

CE are most common, I have seen a FEW PEs over the lat 6 years, but cant recall ever seeing a SE. PLEASE POST PICS

[The Deacon]

Yes, please post some photos. Also, if it's not too much to ask, give Spydiewiki the right to use one of them.

I'll put the pics up now, I'm just suspicious/afraid they might be aftermarket.

I've seen far too many "FrankenSpyders" to rule that out completely, but to the best of my knowledge, Spyderco has never customized a knife by adding or extending serrations and I doubt anyone else could add ones which would look the same. To do it, they'd really have needed to start with a PE Goddard Jr, which is fairly uncommon itself, because matching the existing serrations on a CE one would be even harder.

Looks genuine to me.

[RJNC]

I can't find any info anywhere on the web about a SE Jr., wish a Spyderco employee would chime in.

[The Deacon]

Did you check Spydiewiki? Did you download the PDF version of the 1993 brochure they refer to from Ted's Catalog page? While the brochure reference is not "proof of life" it does lend a lot more credence to the idea that yours is real than if it did not exist.

[RJNC]

I'll check it out, thanks Deacon.

I don't see it in the catalog Deacon, the 1993 right?

I don't see it in the catalog Deacon, the 1993 right?

Yes, 1993 - the one with the Snap-It and Blade Magazine award on the cover. It's in there, pictured on the page with the other Goddards, the Delica, Endura, Merlin, Ladybug, Catcherman, and Rescue.

I see it now, thank you.
