Spyderco Help

[Paladin]

Guys,
In a recent batch of knives I got a customized Spyderco and I'll attach photos. The mark side handle is nicely engraved silver (I think) and brass (again, I think). The lettering is LVJRA and there is an image of team roping and the date 2001. Now, I have done my share of rodeo activities but no roping in my past so I have no clue as to what the initials stand for.
I am guessing the last 3 stand for 'junior rodeo or junior roping' association. I have no ideas as to the LV part of the initials might be. I Googled and I Binged but got nothing helpful.
I am not a Spyderco collector so I have no ideas as to what this pattern knife might be. If you could give me some help on that, it would be appreciated. Closed length is just a hair under 4 inches.

Guys.....

Maybe the L V stands for Las Vegas?

Skip,
You may have hit the nail with your head! I punched that in and got some hits. I'll make calls tomorrow.

Thanks,

How about Las Vegas Junior Rodeo Association ?

The knife appears to be a Delica.

Thank you, David. I hate to be so ignorant about a knife. I sure appreciate your help. And thank you Tom. I just got off the phone trying to contact the folks at JRA.
