Spyderco Tusk – C06
Model Name: Tusk
Model Reference: C06
Designer: Eric Glesser
MSRP: $399.95
Description: Initially this model was rumored to be named the Spyderco C06 Yachtsman but was never produced. It was rumored to be a Marlin Spike folder to use for untying and tying knots, and now the Tusk is exactly what the Yachtsman was rumored to be.. a useful folder for marine use with a marlin spike and a shackle key. This model was designed by Eric Glesser, after picking up the long abandoned project by Sal Glesser in the mid-80’s – thus the low model number.
