Finally got my bride to let go of her pink Spyderco to let me get a couple of pictures.Bought this at Menard's in Indianapolis about 20 years ago.I offered to let her sotre it with my Spyders but the look I got precluded me from pursuing that line again. :mrgreen:

Here's one just like what Jerryd posted that his cousin got in Hawaii. Got mine from a chemical salesman in LA many years ago. The box is stamped "Copyright 1997". This little knife has a chisel grind and as you can see is serrated. Open it measures 6 3/4", closed it is 3 3/8". The locking device is a piece of spring wire, works very well and is super sharp! The clip can be moved to 4 different positions, they must have been pretty cheap for the salesman to be givin' 'em out as "bait". :roll:

junebug, that's good to know! Never paid much attention to this knife, have used it as a scalpel on occasion :) . That E-bay page had some interesting blades for that model. What do reckon they sold for when they 1st came out?

Centofante 3
C66


The Frank Centofante designed Spyderco Vesuvius is a beautifully contoured knife that has become a great reliable permanent knife in the Spyderco line-up with four different generations already. The fourth generation Vesuvius has the Wharncliffe blade and is not meant to replace third genertaion models, but offer an alternative blade shape. The first generation of this popular folder was designed with a compression lock, which was functionally problematic due to the design of the FRN handles, prompting a change to a lockback design after two years, making the first generation compression lock Vesuvius a collectible knife. Generation 1 folders were also available with a Shell insert on the handle.

Generation 2 folders were similar to Generation 1 folders with the change of the lock type. Generation 3 folders added an addition groove chanel to the handle, a switch to VG-10 steel and an adjustment to the location of the back lock.

Blade Length: 3 1/8″
Closed Length: 4 1/2″
Overall Length: 7 9/16″
Weight: 2.5oz, 3.4oz (Gen1)

Blade Material:ATS-34, VG-10
Blade Finish: Satin Finish
Blade Grind: Hollow Ground
Handle Material: FRN w/Silver Inlay Bug
Locking Mechanism: Lock Back, Compression Lock

Years Produced: 2001-Current
Manufacture Location: Golden, Colorado (Gen 1, 2), Seki-City Japan (Gen 3,4)

Variations:
C66PBK – Plain Edge
C66PSBK – Plain Edge
C66PBK3 – Plain Edge, Generation 3
C66PBK4 – Plain Edge, Generation 4

I dismissed Spyderco long ago as just a keychain knife. I traded for this last year just to see what all the hub bub is with Spyderco. This Delica is a little to small for me but I have to admit for a knife that's probably 20 years old it still feels tight. With all the knives I have around here now it doesn't make sense for me to buy another one. I think I'd trade for another Spyderco if one comes along. Something a little bigger.

I just spent a little time looking over this thread. You Guys have some pretty cool knives, even Junebug's phallic symbol :lol: Spyderco's H-1 steel intrigues me. I'm on the water several times a month so I know what saltwater will do to a knife. From what I see if Spyderco says it won't rust, it won't rust. I just wonder how H-1 holds an edge and how easy it is to re-sharpen. I might just have to spring for a pacific salt.
I'd have to go with the plain edge because I use my knife for more than cutting mooring line. I think the full Spydie edge would be great for cut bait but it would tear up a fillet.

Wazu I've flirted with the idea of getting one of those H1 knives myself. So far, my inner tightwad has not allowed me to have one, but perhaps someday...... ::smirk::

One other thing to worry about is all the counterfeit Spyderco knives out there. I read that even Cabelas had a batch of fake Paramilitary 2's. I've seen counterfeits connected to Amazon and of course ebay is loaded with them. So you can't shop around for a better price. You have to spend whatever and buy from a trusted dealer. I wouldn't know a fake Spyderco if it bit me in the butt.

I'd be interested in the Salt 1 from the perspective of checking the way H1 reacts to my needs but ultimately I'd have to get a Pacific salt mainly because of size. I don't see many little fish in my travels so the 3 3/4" blade is a must. I know you can get more for the Salt 1 than I'd be looking to spend.
Thanks for the offer,
Mike

Great knives, guys!

I'm gonna have to bust out the camera and toss my little pile in the ring …

I don't have nearly the rare and interesting pieces you fellas have though - you are showing some really cool knives … !
