Re: Throwback Thursday Carry

I carry my Goddard LW or micarta most days. Such an amazing model! Don’t know why it doesn’t get more love. But good for me as it keeps secondary market prices reasonable.

Re: Paysan?

The same thing happened to a much lesser degree with the Schempp Bowie. People were listing used ones on eBay for like $300 saying it was discontinued. In the end patience won out.

Sure would be fun to get a peek in their warehouse, wouldn’t it. Who knows what we’d find :)

Re: Spyderco Folder Models You Would Like To See In A Fixed Blade

With a really good thread currently at this time asking for the return of For years now I've also been saying how nice it would be to have a fixed blade, full SE Hawkbill would be. A fixed blade version ( or slightly larger) of the SE SPYDERHAWK model would be a very useful sheath knife. Also it se...

I think the Mule Team will be the only limited run. We have quite a bit of steel coming in and plan to exploit Larrin's creation to the best of our ability.

Re: What's your "dream" spyderco? What combo of design/materials would you love to see?

I would just love to see the Goddard LW come back with updated steel (K390 maybe) and screw construction. A blue handle to make it match the rest of the K390 line would be amazing.

Shout out to the firefighters

I live in NorCal and we’re blanketed in smoke right now. Just wanted to say thank you to all the firefighters out there trying to hold the line. I know a couple of wild land firefighters frequent this forum. So thank you!

I'd rather like to see the Caly 3.5 return, with a new Japanese steel... ;)

The ratio of blade length vs width is more appealing in my eyes.
Sorry, but you’re wrong :winking-tongue

Re: Please bring back the C54GPBN Calypso!!!

Just curious - the Calypso was made by Moki right? I haven’t seen any Spydies come from Moki in quite some time (correct me if I’m wrong) - would this make a sprint more difficult or less likely?

Re: Please bring back the C54GPBN Calypso!!!

I absolutely love the Calypso line. I have 3 Calypso Jrs but not a full size. I would love to see its return, especially with linerless FRN like the Calypso Jr. And please use the fish scale FRN pattern!

Re: Is anybody interested in Renegade Chief? (saber grind clip point)

I’d love to see this! I’ve been considering picking up a used Renegade but I would be great to have something similar with more modern blade steel.

Does this mean that they will soon be available through other dealers as well?
I would expect so. I’ve started to see them pop up at various dealers.
