I was playing with www.archive.org, a web archiver and browsed to the archived spyderco section from 1996 on www.knifecenter.com.

You can find old info and interesting things, for example that this experimental:





http://web.archive.org/web/19970605044023/www.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/spyderc/xp2.html





is now:





http://www.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/spyderc/xp2.html





Have fun. If anyone finds other sites in the archives that has good old pictures/info please reply to the topic.

Good links there.

I thought that the dual grind Tanto was a blast. The front half of the blad was flat ground, the rear half was hollow ground.

I agree with Yog, the dual grind Tanto is a cool knife.

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

Ted,
Thanks for the link. I was able to find the old Cold Steel Forum, old Benchmade forum, and some others.
