The C73 Impala by Ed Scott was introduced in 2002 and discontinued in 2006.

==Appearance in catalogs==

The C73 Impala appeared in the 2003, 2004, and 2005 [http://www.spydie.nl/catalogs/ Spyderco product catalogs].

==Designer==

Ed Scott

==History, mentionings etc. from the forums==

* [http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6273 Mini-review] by "shootist16" on the Spyderco forum's shortly after introducing the Impala (2002).
* A more recent [http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33688 discussion] on the Spyderco forum's about the reason why Impalas are not so popular (2008).

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

C73GPS:

"''Ed Scott is a South African custom knifemaker who himself hunts and makes custom knives for professional hunters. When using a knife repeatedly for the same type of cutting jobs it quickly becomes apparent what features work best. Ed took his own ideas, added to the suggestions he had from his fellow hunters, pouring them into a knife design catering specifically to the hunter. Spyderco loved the design and conducted its own testing on a good sized Muley taken one cold, fall morning near our Golden facility. What we discovered was Ed's design worked and worked incredibly well. So we released two versions of Ed's design he calls the Impala.''

''The blade on the C73G has a double beveled gut hook sharpened on both sides of the inside radius. Positioned above the guthook, a section of unsharpened serrations make a slip resistant resting spot for the index finger while controlling the tip and guthook.''

''The blade is VG-10 with a Walker liner lock. Low-profile steel clip is nested into the black G-10 handle scale keeping the folder firmly clipped without destroying cloth pockets. Carries tip-down.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C73GPS Impala by Ed Scott in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=56 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>,
