Revision as of 19:09, 14 March 2009
The C34 Jess Horn II was introduced in 1995. It was the second of three Jess Horn designs produced as collaboration models by Spyderco, the others being the C27 Jess Horn and the C38 Jess Horn Lightweight. The production versions have a Hollow sabre grind blade with a prominent Swedge grind and a black Micarta handle. In addition to the standard production version which was available in PE and SE, several special versions of the C34 Jess Horn II were produced exclusively for A.G. Russell. Two of these models had the same dimensions as the production model, but featured Full Flat grind blades with a Swedge grind and different colors of micarta. The other three were of a reduced size and are unique, in that there was no production equivalent in any form. They are known as "Baby Horns" and were made in white Micarta with a Full Flat grind blade like those of the full size A.G. Russell Specials, and in black Micarta and all stainless steel with Hollow sabre grind blades like those of the production C34.
Appearance in catalogs
The C34 Jess Horn II first appeared in the 1997 pocket catalog. Prior to that, it was noted as "coming soon" in the 1995 Spyderco Retail Price Sheet.
Designer
History, mentionings from the forums, etc.
Information from the 1997 Spyderco catalog
Description from 1997 Pocket Catalog:
"For those who desire a custom design without the associated cost or lengthy wait, Spyderco introduces the second CLIPIT collaboration with Jess Horn. This refined pattern incorporates Jess' precise lines throughout. The scales are made of Micarta in a comfortable shape for everyday use, and the hand-finished premium stainless steel blade is formed in a spearpoint style. The elegant look of this gentleman's lightweight folder makes it worthy of carry for any occasion."
Variations
Plain and serrated versions of the production model, plus the five A.G. Russell Specials noted above and below.

Most collectible variation
All five of the A.G. Russell Specials command higher prices than the production versions and, as with most collectible Spydercos, there is more collector interest in the
PE production version than in th SE production version.
Questions regarding collecting the C34 Jess Horn II
- Collectors Club numbered examples of at least two of the A.G. Russell Special variants exist, are there Collectors Club numbered specimens of all of them?
- Production dates for the A.G. Russell Specials? The box for my black Baby Horn is dated 1/97.
