Knife Identification Assistance

bravodelta · #1

Hi Spyderco World,

I have found an old Spyderco in a box of my "junk". From what I can tell it is a Gen 1 Endura, marked G-2 Stainless with the molded clip. It also has a polished blade (not Satin). I remember purchasing this knife new when I was in college (circa 1993). I carried it for a bit before I purchased a couple more knives and never saw it again until recently.

Can someone please assist me with the collectible value / desirability of this knife? I would grade it at between 85%-90%.

Thanks,

Bravo

Assuming the handle is black FRN, collectible value / desirability would be low unless it was in absolutely pristine condition, and even then it's value would be approximately the same as a current Endura 4,at best. As it stands, use it and enjoy it, or perhaps give it to someone you know who would.

PE, CE or SE?

You have a Gen 1 Endura with G2 steel and a molded clip. Circa 1993. :D :D :D

There are many thousand used Delicas and Enduras floating about, so as stated, there is very little collector value there. But, you have a great usable knife to put in your pocket.
