What can you tell me about Horn Spyderco's ?
I have a chance to pick up two with Black Micarta scales. Both are Mint without boxes . Never sharpened never used one is larger otherwise identical. Thanks. Dave I
Jess Horn Spyderco's
Welcome aboard, Dave I! Those are great knives. As you said black macarta handles, it also came in other colors of macarta, and an FRN model. They have a 3" blade, with a 4" handle, in other words the same size as the Delica. If I remember right the steel is AUS8A. I started to buy one years ago, I wish that I had! Good find! RKBA!

Dave I: Jess Horn is my absolute favorite designer. It is reported that he is near retirement. I am intent on acquiring as many of his designs as possible. If they appeal to your eye, I would suggest you do the same. A.G. Russell's website offers two Jess Horn models--an all--stainless steel Spyderco (3-3/4-inch handle) and a black micarta model (two sizes). Beautiful knives. A search of the Internet to see some of Jess's handmade custom models is a treat.

mmm... I have plenty of praises for the Jess Horn-Spyderco collaborations.. They are amazing! My favourite was the Jess Horn lightweight.. It was stolen some years ago! I really loved that particular <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>!
