I really dig those scales.
Glad you like them! It's cheesewood.
I really dig those scales.
There were some pictures of the inside last year when folks were swapping scales right away but I can't put my finger on them.I wonder how these compare to the ones from Flytanium? I held just a pair of Flytanium Para 3 copper scales in my hand and they felt quite heavy (also expensive). I still like this look though.
Posted the following today in the Acquisitions Thread in the General Knife Discussion Forum but thought that it would also be worth cross posting here as well.

Didn't really need it but couldn't pass up this EB "find"-- an early pre-2000 version of the Moran Featherweight (FB01) with an upswept VG10 blade and a leather sheath in a white box w/proper markings and an insert consistent w/the period -- for what I considered a "good" price.
The knife has a mirror finish and is in perfect condition. The blade is so well polished that it's hard to photograph it w/o picking up something in the reflection of the blade. The sheath is unused but has some imperfections due to (mis)handling. The box is intact and in generally good condition but there is some water/moisture damage on the label end.
No plans to use the knife; just adding it to the collection as an example the 1st fixed blade knife (if the numbering is to be believed) that Spyderco made.
In order to put this purchase in context, I thought I'd also show photos of my entire Spyderco fixed blade collection below, which includes a couple other early/hard to find model variations, that I hope that some people here will find of interest.

I finally managed to get the Punisher half skull mapped onto the smaller Delica/Lil Matriarch profile...
Can you make a set for the matriarch 2.That is amazing.
Looks awesome.
Wow, nice catch with a bit of history there.
That is a nice collection. Is it stricktly Spyderco blades you collect?
And I was a bit dissapointed/surprised not to see the Waterway in there, not a big fan?

Yes! What are those?

I was thinking some sort of olive or sandlewood.That's a Sage 1 with custom cheesewood scales. I am using it for acidic stuff (fruits) to bring out the patina.
