Most collectible variation
Spyderco has made a so-called WarriorChip Challenge Coins around 2012 as part of Spyderco's Op-Focus program and promotion, as explained by Michael Janich on the Spyderco online discussion forum[2]. And around 2015, Spyderco also made a more traditional Spyderco challenge coin. A picture can be seen on the Spyderco online discussion forum[3]. Both of these coins were never offered commercially.
