Spyderco C13PS Pro VENATOR Folding Knife Spyderco Second. (See the notch on the spine) I am not sure why it’s a second; I can’t find anything wrong with it. The blade is made out of ATS-55.
Stainless steel handle and clip with Kraton inserts. Probably made in the late nineties. From my personal collection. Not Carried or sharpened. This is a good sturdy knife in very good unused shape.

I bought this at one of the first Spyderco second sales here in Colorado.

 I went on a Spyderco tour with Rocky Mountain Blade Collectors before they moved into their new building and the lady giving the tour had one of these and so naturally I had to have one.

Probably one of the more interesting times in Spyder history is when they elected to use ATS-55 as their main blade steel for all their high end Japan made blades. It was a brief but interesting era needless to say and some of the blades made with ATS-55 are getting quite desirable for collecting."

"Some of the better known icons of that era are the C-44 Dyad, C-39 Dyad Jr., The G-10 Harpy, The original G-10 Police, The Rookie, ect, ect,. It also took place in what I personally refer to as the Golden Era of Spyders (1998-2003). What was very interesting to me about ATS-55 is that I don't recall any other production knife company ever using the blade steel here in the USA. It was probably the shortest of all the blade steel tenures during Spyderco's growth as a company but still produced some of the more interesting classics." 3DSpydo
