The C93 Navigator II is a small knife with a short blade designed for travel by air and business carry. It is a direct descendant of the C61 Pegasus/C62 Navigator and can also be viewed as an indirect descendant of the C09 CoPilot.
The C92 was introduced in 2005 and produced as a "Limited Run"[1].
Appearance in catalogs

History, mentionings etc. from the forums
- Review of the Navigator II by "Mr Blonde".
- "Limited run navigator II?" thread on the Spyderco forums ("Limited Run" explanation and possibilities for a future Navigator model).
Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
"We live in a world today where using a full-sized pocketknife in public can at times create notice. Spyderco has invested effort in developing a small-stature folder with ample blade strength and handle leverage for full-sized and large cutting jobs. The C93 Navigator II focuses on three features found in larger, hard-use pocketknives: A strong lock, robust blade and ergonomically advanced handle. Combined, these features convey the tactile sensation and performance features of a full-sized knife packing significant cutting power yet the Navigator II’s blade is just 2-1/4" long. Made from VG-10 stainless the blade is available SpyderEdged or PlainEdged. Its cutting edge is saber-ground on both sides of the blade for superior cutting capacity. Positioned above the Spyderco Round Hole a spine cusp forms a stable leveraging point on which the thumb rests. On the underside of the all-steel handle are a series of sculpted angles cut away to optimally settle the hand and fingers into grip position. The pocket clip carries the folder tip-down or can be used unobtrusively as a money-clip or tie tack."[2]
Variations
The C93 Navigator II is made in Seki-City, Japan.
There seems to be at least three minor variations of the C93 that differ in clip screw sizes and thumb ramp shape[3].
The 2005 catalog supplement describes the blade shape as "flat-ground" whereas it's listed as "full flat" in the 2006 Spyderco catalog. The grind could be best described as a very high flat saber.
