It was recognizeably in the Clipit style, without prybar, made of 440 stainless steel, electropolished for extra corrosion resistance, and with a front-locked sheepfoot SpyderEdge blade of 3.25-inch edge length with a line-cutter built into the back. The scales featured teardrop-shaped drying holes and a lanyard hole and were etched with a measuring scale. The most unusual feature, however, was the snap shackle located at the pivot end of one scale. This type of snap had originally been invented by the Wichard Company in France, which gave Spyderco permission to use it. Due to a design flaw in Spyderco’s version of the snap on the Diver Model, however, the shackle spring suffered from excessive lateral play and could be displaced sideways, allowing it to come gree of what it was hooked to.
