Still loving the Worker. Of course that doesn't mean I had to leave it alone. Here it is now with a set of Bocote wood scales.
I used polyurethane on them and that provides a very good grip even though it's smooth. The smooth finish also makes it easier to pull out of my pocket when clipped. Also it won't do as much damage to my pants pocket over time. I may need to make several sets of scales for this knife. :)

I got this Spyderco worker sprint run (VG-10, G-10) a month or two ago. I fell in love with it after having it for about 3 days. When I think about the individual features of this knife like blade steel, handle material, ergonomics, etc. none of the individual features jump out at me as "the best" in each category. But as a whole this is just a GREAT knife. I've loved other knives but I don't remember feeling about them like I feel about this worker sprint. It's even hard to explain. Anyway, here's a picture.
Here's another picture of the worker with my new Carter fixed blade for size comparison. The blade on the Carter is 85mm or 3 3/8". I don't remember the actual length of the worker. Everything about the worker "JUST WORKS". LOL

Yeah, hang onto to them, Patrik. They're like money in the bank and they will only go up in value with the passing of time. As I'm sure you know, the knife market is going crazy right now -- especially on eBay. Everyday I see knives that I bought just a year or two ago selling in auctions for two and three times what I paid for them. Spyderco sprint runs are really ridiculous! *sigh*
Cheers, my friend!
Thanks Ron and you are right they will be more valuable in lets say 10 years. So for now I'm not in hurry to sell them so they will be a proud part of my collection and who know maybe one day when the time and price is right I will sell them to get something else.
Spyderco Pride ~ C72 originally had an MSRP of $49.95

As you know Patrik, a knife or anything of value, is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I see sellers with "buy it now" prices on these for, as you mention, between 150 and 275. That doesn't mean they're actually being bought at those prices, though. You can ask whatever you want for something. That doesn't mean you'll get it. One way to determine their worth is to list them in a "no reserve" auction starting at 0.99 cents and let those people who are interested bid them up to whatever their desire to own one dictates. Personally, I would place a value of somewhere between 50 and 125 tops. But that's just me. I'd like to get one for much less, of course. *grin* But, then again, if I owned them I'd probably just hang onto to them. They're 10 years old, now. Keep 'em for another 10 and their value will probably double or triple?
That's about all I can add. Which still leaves you right where you started. Sorry.
