Released in 1981, Spyderco’s C01 Worker™ was the first folding knife in history to offer Spyderco's 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 Spyderco's 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 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.

Blast from the past

4 stars just because there are amazing custom and semi-custom knives out there with even better F&F. Really, this one is as good as any Japanese made Spyderco Lockback I have seen, which is to say all the details are extremely well executed! The Worker Sprint is a bit shorter overall than a Delica, but with the same cutting edge length, it also has a thicker blade than the Delica and beefier liners, despite this extra solidity (it definitely feels like a heavier duty knife than the Delica) it really doesn't weigh down your pocket much more, though its extra thickness does make it harder to get at your change or keys if you have pants with tight pockets. I thought the thin tip might be fragile, but it has enough thickness to be quite confidence inspiring, while being acute enough for serious precision work. A great knife and fantastic customer service from National Knives, Thanks!!
