priceguide
This is something I’ve been working on for quite some time now. I’ve put a small price guide together that covers a little more than 100 models (new and old) with their most recent MSRP’s plus a short description and the year when the model was first released and when it became discontinued.
Although I already put quite a lot knives on the list it is far from complete. I almost always find some new info when I’m just done with updating the list so this is work in progress. As soon as I get more information I’ll make an update. Originally the plan was to update it about twice a month but this proved itself to be impossible. So the updates are not done within a schedule, but whenever enough new information is available to me.
To view the list you need Adobe Reader installed. If you don’t have it by now, you can download it for free at www.adobe.com or use simlar software like Foxit. If you find my price guide useful and want to have the latest version check back from time to time or subscribe to my page via RSS-feed as I will post whenever the next version is ready for download! Since I put the guide first online on my old website, nearly 6.000 people downloaded it and many people helped me by sending me information about missing models or the like. Thank you guys! If anyone of you wants to contribute, feel free to either post here or send me an email.
rob’s calendar 2008
After my calendar for 2006 I got a lot of mails from visitors of my site, asking if I was going to make another one for 2007. Unfortunately I lacked of sparetime massively so it took me nearly a year to put another calendar together. Well, here it is for 2008! It is in PDF-format too and the quality of the file should be good enough to make excellent colour prints up to A4. I know that it already has been printed in A3 format by a friend and he reported the quality to be OK but despite of that I would not recommend it. The file is ~ 3 MB so it could take a little while to download it! Again Adobe-Reader or similar like Foxit Reader is needed to view the file!
all C28 models in a heartbeat
This file contains a list with all the variants of the Dragonfly from 1994 until today. It’s the same as provided in the History of the C28 Dragonfly from the review section of my page. I just thought I put it up here too just in case anyone missed it. Again this is a PDF file, so the same applies to this one as to the previous downloads!
I have a spyderco police titanium ats34 steel new in the pouch and was curious as to the price it would bring when sold as it is up for auction sale now on craigslist ,it is a beatiful knife but i will never carry it as i know it is worth too much to scratch. Thanks David
Hi David! Recently I got the information from a fellow collector that the Ti Police had a MSRP of around $ 300 and the ones that I’ve seen in the past couple of years were sold within a range of $ 200 - 350. It’s a beautiful knife and not too many were made… Cheers, Rob
Fantastic efforts, Rob! I for one have had great use of your list and appreciate the work you’ve put into it very, very much!
Hi, Rob…great site! I am looking for any info you may have on the experimental 2 G-10 CX02Gs…current value, history…anything! I’m having a tough time finding info on it.
Thanks!!!
Hi Heidi! Unfortunately I don’t have much more info on the CX02 myself other than it later became the C62 Navigator. An old Ironstone catalog (available on Ted’s site) states that the MSRP of the CX02 was $ 74,95 in (probably) 1998. As for the current value I only can give you a guess as I’ve seen the last ones for sale a couple of years ago. Back then they sold somewhere between $ 60 and $ 80 on eBay. I hope that helps at least a little
Cheers, Rob
Rob, this is a first time I visited your new web site. I always admired your creativity as well as the highest quality of your pictures. Very, very impressive! Your new calendar is a work of art! I also like taking pictures of my knives but so far I cannot get quality pictures without natural light. I use simple Olympus C7000, but I do not think my camera is the one to blame for this. I hope I can do better. What kind of camera do you use?
Regards, Mark aka WhyNot.
Hi Mark! Thank you for your kind words! I use a Canon Powershot A700. Nothing fancy
I find using natural light much more difficult than artificial (I use 3 daylight-lamps and diffusors as setup). See you on the forums! Cheers, Rob
Interestingly I found some more news regarding the first comment by David Stokes on this page about the Ti-Police. Sal Glesser wrote on Bladeforums that the first 500 pieces batch was sold for $ 125. I wish this would still be the case
You can read the whole thread HERE Cheers, Rob
Hi,
Great website, I was interested in the C26 Snap-It you own, I managed to buy one the other day with a combo edge and a black handle of dull material. I have been trying to identify clearly by sites such as yours to determine the handle material. All I can find apart from your picture is listings of Snap-Its with clips on. My one has a ATS-55 blade. Would you know more about it or refer me to a site with more information.
Thanks Lea
Lea, The Snap-It has a handle made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) which most likely is the “dull” material you are refering to. They were made in black, red and orange but the orange one is very rarely seen. All of these had black Kraton (some sort of rubber) inserts which featured Spyderco’s “volcano texture” in their handles.
They did not have a regular pocket clip like so many other Spydercos. All they hat to attach them to clothing or gear was a spring loaded snap-shackle which was located lear the pivot of the knife.
A Great ressource for identifying Spyderco knives is Ted’s list. To find out more about older models, Ted’s scanned catalogs can be very helpful. Other than that, you’ll find lots of info at Spyderco’s own forum and if you don’t, there’s a great number of knowledgeable and helpful people you can ask. In most of the cases you’ll get an answer there rather quickly for questions you were investigating for some time
I hope that helps a bit, Rob
