I'd purchase an updated STARMATE model!

[J Smith]

Same one as before only with flat grind and S30V.

Flat grind and S30V are a few of my favourite things. PE for me.

[JBE]

Definitely!...The Starmate was the only model I found that held a candle to the Military for EDC!

I agree on the S30V, although I'm torn on the flat grind as I really do like the lines on the old blade, including the swedge at the top...

John F Jensen's also got some Starmates on hand (combo edge):

A big ol' flat ground Starmate in either VG-10 or S30V with either FRN or G10 sounds like just the ticket to me.

[silverback]

Personally I'd take what is offered.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
But, since we're making suggestions:
VG-10 or S30V with Micarta handles and steel bolsters.
Nice and hefty.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Flatgrind S30V Starmate is the one. The one and only. The Holy Grail.

I think Patsy at www.beckscutlery.com has a Starmate left. Maybe.

If you do bring back the Starmate, Can you make one an FRN Model????

[John F Jensen]

We have four C55GPS, Starmates with 50/50 blades left in stock on closeout.

I don't post prices here, you need to look at our web site.

The Starmate happens to be my favorite Spyderco. I've been carrying mine since they were first introduced.

i would personally want to keep the grind it has presently, unsure of name. i think it adds to the charactor of the knife itself, putting a flat grind on it would deter from the classic look, but that is one mans personal opion, i can see why the flat grind would be preferred though. thought i would add my 2 cents. Thnx

[steve andrews]

I have a plain edged Starmate, but I never really carry it. Nice knife - but a little too big for me....

[UK KEN]

Hello All!

I think that the original Starmate is a great knife. I would still be interested in a new knife, even more so if it had a nice shell inlay!

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hey you let out the secret of the Starmates left for sale ! I am saving up for one next payday. Hope there will be one left....
