Esteemed Spyderfolks.. <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Do you have a lust for a classic <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>? NIB, used or pre-owned? Mine would be the "Everest" Worker from Hamonichiba.. Well come to think of it, my rekindled interest would be getting at least on "Evolution" worker in Damascus! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, so, what is your take?

I've been searching for older Centofantes. Been bidding on blue and green ones on eBay. Also been looking for PE C25's.
I recently set my mind to get the original C01,02,03,04 & 05
I just got a PE C03 (Hunter) and a PE C04 (Executive) for a good price on Ebay but just lost a bid on a C05 Economy. The seller listed it as an SS Delica but it was an Economy.

Well dudes, Other than E-bay auctions, do you think that the classics can be found at some obscure 'lil knifeshop that is trapped in a time-warp? *hee-hee!* <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>*<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>*<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

My local has some odd and unusual <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s... like a left handed mariner without slots at one point(they may still have it around)... I got the micarta dyad jr out of the display on dec 19th.

mmmm... that hamonichiba.com store is certainly a "vault" for retired-<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s which are NIB! Well, I'd love to see a poster of classic <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>-protos which never made it to the production line.. It'll be really edge-u-cational! *~<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>:<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>~*

Thats one out of my file... 1570 pics right now, with more coming on a disc... I collect spydie pics whenever I find em.
JKM(RIP James) got that pic in the first place, when he was still actively making an impact on us.

You can get lots of old NIB Spydies in Europe, some are even still in Stock with the distributors. Problem is that the prices sometimes are inflated, and not many dealers are online and/or willing to ship to US.
Often thought about reimporting older knives with collector value to the US, but not worth the hassle for me.
Just bought a NIB old Large Centofante (ATS-34, G10, liner lock plus security)at a store in Vienna. Even was at sale (reduced price). Beautiful user, great cutter.
vamirewolf or anyone,
What the heck is that thingy below the calypso jr.? I've never seen something similar.

I've been trying to locate a PE Harpy in left-hand config for a few years now. That, and the original design Harpy without chamfered scales (you can see one on page 81 of the Spyderco Story). Both have been hiding from me!!!
