Spyderco C01GPGR Worker
The Spyderco C01GPGR Worker knife was released this week and we just got our hands on them. Wylaco is lucky to be located just minutes from Spyderco’s factory, so when new releases come out, we get them quick. No need to wait on UPS to deliver them to us, our drivers pick them up the day they are released. Here is a quick overview.
Released in 1981, Spyderco’s C01 Worker™ was the first folding knife in history to offer our Trademark Round Hole™ for ambidextrous one-handed opening and a pocket clip for convenient carry and ready access. Initially available only with a PlainEdge™ cutting edge and a short sharpened false edge, it later became the vehicle to introduce our fully serrated SpyderEdge™. Together, these three features revolutionized the concept of the modern folding knife and set a new world standard of pocketknife performance.
This limited-edition C01GPGR Worker Sprint Run™ of the Worker pays homage to its pivotal role in cutlery history while revitalizing the original design with a number of modern improvements. Its blade is hollow ground from VG-10 stainless steel and features an unsharpened swedge instead of a false edge.
Unlike the original stainless-steel-handled Worker, this version features skeletonized full stainless steel liners and dark green textured G-10 scales. While original Workers were configured for right-side, tip-down carry (dedicated left-hand models were also offered later), this expression of the Worker has a sleek hourglass clip that can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry on both sides of the handle. Together with the knife’s convenient forward-positioned back lock mechanism and the blade’s Round Hole, the four-position clip makes the operation of this state-of-the-art Spyderco Worker completely ambidextrous.
