Bring back the Starmate!
Bring back the Starmate!
I recently managed to pick up this gem of a knife and I have to say this model is definitely among Spyderco's best discontinued knives. I would like to see a sprint run of this, in any color!
And if you guys would make a downsized version of this, frame lock and slightly larger than the Delica, it would be my dream EDC!
Oh, and if you add a choil, that would be lovely too.

I'm pretty sure there was a smaller Terzuola but it wasn't the Starmate and it wasn't really quite the same knife.RIOT wrote:my starmate has the smoothest action out of all my spydercos, it fling out with the slightest wrist flick
a smaller version would be very cool, actually i think the older ones are smaller now that i think of it

I just looked it up, and you're right, it is a Terzuola Jr. Not quite the same great flowing lines as the Terzuola Starmate, but a seemingly nice knife all the same.
I really love the design of the Starmate because it's like a cross between the Military and a knife I've been drooling over for a long time, the Terzuola TTF-3A.
Nothing like having a Spyderco in the pocket. A great reliable knife that won't cost you an arm and a leg to replace. Well, except for the hard-to-find discontinued models anyway.
A return of the Starmate, perhaps in a different G-10 color would let me carry without fear of never being able to replace this one.

Ah, the Starmate. A knife which is comfortable, strong and good looking. Maybe one of the nicest in the Spyderco collaborations line.
Since Spyderco made short runs with the Goddard, Viele and Lum, maybe we'll see an updated Starmate (say ZDP-189 and blue G-10?) in the near future. :)

No i don't have all the variations they are hard to find even in used condition(which i don't mind as all mine are users),but i am always on the lookout for one.RIOT wrote:thats a really cool pic with all those different models, seems like you got them all, do you ?
Terzuolas are one of my favorite spydercos & i wouldn't mind a sprint run of either model especially the starmate !
Or maybe even a new larger Terzuola spyderco collaboration(please Sal & Bob!)

Sorry for re-opening this old thread - BUT I WANT THE STARMATE BACK!!!!
Mine has been stolen some years ago and I never found an adequate replacement, not in all the optics and specs....
I make do with a BM Vex, but it's a sad compromise (being not bad a knife at all), compared to the Starmate.
So, PLEEEAAASEEE - do something, dear people at Spyderco! A sprint run, different steel or handle color, whatever, but revive it!!!
Regards form Germany,
Oliver
