It was a serrated-edge CoPilot (C09S), just like this one:

I reckoned the short blade would be OK for work, and it pretty much was.

Once or twice some lemming raised their eyebrows over that wicked, 'jagged' edge, but they were usually persuaded to 'put it in their pipe and smoke it' without too much trouble. :-D

I liked the knife so much, I got another one for 'play', so I had two of them for many years. Then, a few years ago, the work knife turned up spare, so I gave it to a friend.

I had also found this one on Blade Forums, the plain-edge variation of the CoPilot (C09P), and I really didn't 'need' three of them. :-D

It was NIB, but still just $45, and that was cheap even then (about five or six years ago).

I normally carry the Kiwi nowadays, but all my Spydercos remain on-duty; in folders, it's my favorite brand.
