Spyderco D'Holder Collaboration Knife

In 1999 Spyderco introduced D'Alton Holder's very popular custom collaboration model, the C57 Toad. The 1-7/8" blade made of AUS-8 stainless steel made this the smallest Spyderco knife, but you can be sure that this little guy carries as much cutting power as the full-sized pocket knife. The handle was made of lightweight aluminum and the overall length was 4". This model featured a linerlock and was available in both plain and SpyderEdge blade configurations. www.spyderco.com
