Recently made a trade for a used C83 Persian. I really enjoy the shape and heft of the handle. Plus, the sweep of the blade is hard to mistake. Didn't think I'd be able to find one of these as easily as I did.

Does it matter about the lack of the Spyder symbol? I know some Persians had the bug in black or gold opposite the Schempp logo. Also, it appears the previous owner lost the original clip and replaced it with a Mini Persian clip. Only 2 of 3 screw holes line up. Anybody know if a Lum Chinese clip would fit and if i would be able to order one from Spyderco?

Just means it's an early specimen. The bug got added, and Ed Schempp's mark moved to the other side, sometime later.

Handwrecker,
Congrats, it is a great knife. I love it. I carry it every day since I got it four years ago. C83 fits to my hand like a glove.
Enjoy one of the greatest :spyder: ever made.
