I realized today that over a third of the 15 Spydercos I own in this category have been discontinued or are slated to be disco'd this year :eek: I really like every single one of these models :)I kind of understand why this is so. Roughly whenever a model falls below a certain sales threshold it is discontinued and soon another new model pops in. Given the perpetual evolution of materials and styles this makes sense. Given the disco rate I see, I imagine Spyderco's development pipeline must be quite busy
These observations in no way keep me from using and enjoying the disco'd models I'm fortunate enough to have :) It might go week by week, or day by day, but everyoine of these disco'd models are used, enjoyed and appreciated :D
I latched onto the Caspian Salt yesterday :D I've had this simple piece of sculpted H-1 a few years now. Despite it's being designed as a dive knife I find it very useful for a variety of other tasks. The Caspian is light, simple, capable and tough. I thoroughly enjoy the negative blade angle and the properties of H-1. The large finger hole and hollow grind are also appealing. You can't break this model unless you push the H-1 to the breaking point :D
I'll leave with a pic of the Caspian when it was new, also hoping folks with disco'd models to not be scared to use them
Let them do what they were designed to do :D [ATTACH]21095[/ATTACH]
