Sweet knives, bug! I'm not usually one for serrated blades, but those two are very cool.

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.

Re: official SPYDERCO : Pick Ups , Pics , & Q&A thread
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".

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
