Orange Military Paperwork?

EagleScouter · #1

Greetings all, and a belated Merry Christmas!

I bought an Orange Spyderco Military, but it didn't come with any paperwork. Does anyone have a set that they are willing to spare? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

There was no paperwork with mine either, and I've had it since the middle of last year. I don't think there is any Edge- U-Cation paperwork.

Welcome to the forums, EagleScouter. I'm an Eagle Scout myself. As others have noted, I don't believe the orange Military came with any papers, but it's possible that it varied from run to run, so someone else may chime in that got one with papers. I hope you stick around and enjoy the forums.

No paper work with mine either, I bought it the Summer of '10. Congrats, such a great knife!

This is a topic I have wondered about. Is there a date that the Edge-U-Cation papers started? Is this based upon where they are manufactured? Is there a way to determine which "newer" knives should have these inserts and which did not have them?

I'm curious about this as well, as a few of my Spydies are without paperwork.

It seems to be random at times. I seem to recall a new release knife going out and some people got inserts while others did not (these knives were even from the same batch, as it was the first run). I only remember this because I had gotten one of the ones without paperwork and others were saying they had received an "Edge-u-cation" sheet in theirs. Whichever knife is was, it became a user anyway so I quickly forgot which exact one it is, but I don't mind not having the insert. If it was to be a safe queen, then the insert may become more important for collectors sake.

edit: Maybe the aforementioned knife was the Navaja, as mine doesn't have paperwork. Anyone else get a Navaja, but with paperwork?

Paperwork is not included with all models/variants. If you purchased your knives new from reputable dealers, you can assume Spyderco did not provide any paperwork with them.
