Fake or the real thing?

[saltydog]

I'm unfamiliar with this clip-it design. Is this an authentic Spydie, or a knockoff? This knife is on e-bay.

Saltydog,

If you collect, go for it! It’s a C05 Economy and seems to be in a great shape.

For reference you can check out &lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.ted.tweakdsl.nl/spyderco/spyderco.html&quot;&gt;Ted's list of all Spyderco knives&lt;/A&gt;

Cheers, Robert

The problem with this particular type of clip is that it destroys the material of your pants (or whatever you attach your knife to). <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
It kinda scissors the clothing, that's why they put the 3 screws clip as we know it now.

Thanks to all forumites for your education. I love this community, because everyone always so freely shares what they know. I found the tips on cleaning the Spydies one of the best threads ever. Thank you again.
