Description: Rare Early Spyderco Clipit Merlin Lockback Knife Discontinued and Highly Sought After! I've had difficulty finding any information on the manufacture of this knife. From what I've gleaned, SpyderCo was growing quickly, remodeling and renaming products at a furious pace. If you have any info or insight, or if I've made a mistake in the listing description, please let me know. Found with other valuable knives in a West Tennessee estate, this vintage Spyderco Clipit Merlin is a true collector's item. Featuring a serrated hawkbill blade and a unique plastic molded clip, this handle is an seldom seen version of the only slightly more common Clipit Merlin design. This is an early "Clipit" design, made before "EDC" was "a thing". Sal at Spyderco, I think, invented the pocket knife with a clip, and this is a knife that's representative of a major step in the evolution of pocket knives. Here's your chance to grab an early classic. Key Features: Serrated Hawkbill Blade: Approximately 3 inches long, offering superior cutting power. Black Nylon Handle: Durable and comfortable handle measuring around 4 inches. Plastic Molded Clip: A distinctive feature not found on many other Clipit Merlins. Grid Patterned Grip: Provides excellent grip and traction. Lanyard Hole: Allows for easy attachment of a lanyard. Spyderco G2 Stainless Steel Blade: Ensures durability and corrosion resistance. Thumb Hole for Easy Opening: Quick and efficient one-handed operation. Condition: ***The tip of this knife is flat, about 1 mm wide, please look before purchase. See picture #2, white background. This could be from manufacture, as this is an otherwise unused knife.*** These knives were purchased and removed from their boxes, then placed in a display case. The blade is in excellent condition, with a factory edge and was never carried or used. There is a slight circular abrasion near the pivot pin on the back side of the blade caused by (me probably) opening the knife. I've tried to take plenty of pictures with light at different angles to show that the blade and handle are in unused, never carried condition, but to also show the mark on the back of the blade clearly. Please take a close look at the pics and ill try to answer any questions you may have. Don't miss this opportunity to own a rare and collectible Plastic Molded Clip Spyderco C08 Clipit Merlin!
