Knife Identification

#1

Post by geedawg »

Hi all,

New to the forum, but have had a few Spyderco knives in the rotation for the last few years. I’m not a collector by any means but love the brand and the their reliability as tools.

I was able to pick up a few knives in an estate sale for great deals, and may be back for more. Here are 2 that I could not identify. Can any of you help confirm what models these are? Both from the ATS-55 era with the steel marked with “Seki City Japan”

Dear geedawg:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

It looks like you scored a Rookie and a Pro-Venator/Pro-Grip II. Congratulations.

Stay safe,

Mike

Nice Rookie! That one needs to come back! (and since it's Seki, it could be super blue)

Thanks for the help everyone! These were $40 / each and there were many more for sale. I sense a possible return trip…
