Description from the 1998 Spyderco catalog for the C53 Peter Herbst (Titanium)

Peter Herbst, a German knifemaker with over fifteen years of experience, is known for his quality and integrity. He brings European elegance and expertise to his first collaboration with Spyderco. This piece was created especially for the international market, with a sleek rounded handle that is designed to lay comfortably in the hand. Formed of high-tech titanium for exceptional toughness, the handle includes an electrically blued pattern and a Linerlock. The drop-point style blade takes a good edge and accommodates a wide range of uses. The overall size and shape of this folder make it a pleasure to carry and use.
