Q Knife Questions

[PKennedy]

I'm interested in information about Spyderco Q knives. I have several Q's with the laser ingraved blades (spider, geometric, fish ...) and would like to know how many different designs were produced and where they can be purchased.

[Joyce Laituri]

They can only be purchased by a private party or possibly a retail outlet that very old stock. We discontinued them a couple years ago and haven't made any since. As for how many designs...50+ designs were made as exclusives for private companies and retailers. I'll ask if our sales department has a list of these that can be posted.

Hope this helps.

I just picked up one with a sheepsfoot blade with a pocket knife and NY on it. I have 17 others all different in my collection. They are cool. I would like to have the one with the fish!

I had some marked Springer. I don't know if they were made for the Jerry Springer show or what. I also had one from Hugh M. Woods.

Also when I was on my tour of the famed Spyderco. I also learned about the handles that alot of people ask about. The "fatter" handles are the early ones. They did not have the spyderco logo on them and the pocket clip didn't stay in as well as hoped. Just a tidbit of info for those that didn't know.

Hey there guys,

I dont want to turn this into a "where can I find [insert "Q" type here] ?" kind of thread, but I sure would appreciate some general advise on good places to look for them. The Spyder logo models seem to pop up quite often but I've seen very few of the others, some of which I would certainly like to get my hands on.
I hope some of you more experienced folk could help me out.

Cheers

Last time I looked, Ricki had them listed on his website at www.outdooredge.com.au.
Happy Hunting!
