Knives We Would Like to See "UNVANISH"

[Papa_K]

The one I'm currently looking for:
Caly3 with VG-10 blade (plain edge) and black G-10 scales

[jackknifeh]

I think it's time for another Michael Walker model.

[dialex]

I would very much like a yellow FRN Calypso jr. with an H1 blade (even in saber grind if full flat isn't feasible).

[JD Spydo]

Lil Temp Rhino/Trailing point.

Just cause... :D

Blerv I got to give you a huge "HIGH FIVE" on that one :cool: The Rhino Horn Lil T was truly a Spyderco Ultra-Classic in every sense of the word. Now I did also like the leaf blade Lil T as well but there was something very special about that Rhino Horn Lil T that few Spyders could come up to in the category of "super unique">> not to mention it is/was a functional dream to use as well. It was built like a NYC skyscraper and was close to being completely indestructible.

The knife really showed me the ruggedness of 440V blade steel and I would love to see how it would hold up with either M-4 or S90V. The Rhino Horn Lil T is truly a hidden classic that few knife afficionados even know about>> actually very few Spyderco fans even know about it. It's almost as hidden as the original R model or the Titanium Herbst.

This is truly a huge candidate for a Sprint Run!! With a new blade steel of course. And make it available in Spyderedge as well.

Time to unleash the new and improved Pro-Grip, modern FRN with SS clip, combo edge in VG-10, and a sprint run in micarta, fully lined, in whatever the latest and greatest steel is.

YES! You hit the nail on the head with this one. I'd take two--one in PE and one in SE. :)

Oh yeah!!!! I want this BAAAAAAAD!

[dwong]

Jester in micarta.

[enduraguy]

I liked the G10 (linerless) Police that came out several years ago.

[Catarrh]

Poliwog ~ C98, preferably in G-10 (possibly even orange G-10 that seems to so much the style lately).

Scorpius ~ C87, another great, overlooked design. I already have one of these--an early model with the superior "dolphin" handle. If they were ever to bring this back, the dolphin is key to its success.

I agree wholeheartedly, sir. The C22CF in particular. I've been on the lookout for one of these for what seems like forever. Occasionally they show up on the Bay, but usually go for way more than I'm willing to pay.

Okay, now I'm really curious... I have a knife exactly like the Pro-Grip clip-it pictured, but mine has G-2 blade steel... What exactly do I have ? I've thought for the longest time that it was a Pro-Venator.....

I have forgotten more about this than I care to admit, but if I recall correctly, G-2, also known as Gin-1(I think) was a commonly used steel in several of Spyderco's models, until the switchover to "better" steels in the late 90s. I believe it was primarily used on Seki made knives. I could be wrong about any or all of this though, so take it with a grain of salt.

[GSO]

Firstly, I am very glad to see a Lava sprint flowing our way this year. :D

+1 old Kiwi. Actually, any of the models before 8Cr...14...MoVOMGWTFBBQ.. I give up.

[Milkman]

I would really like to see the return of the Centofante IV.

I also wouldn't mind another Scorpius or Adventura, or even an ATR.

[defenestrate]

yes on the Swick. I'd ask for an SE hawkbill version, but i'd take anything. My S2 is awesome.

ZDP Kris with wood or polished micarta scales.

[defenestrate]

oh, and while I'm dreaming, H1 SE SuperHawk. Yes, *super*hawk integral TI comp lock with maybe a lightly textured CF or textured TI on non-lock side

[bh49]

Caly3 G10/VG10.
Yesterday somehow I grab this knife, which I didn't use for at least a year and realized that this is not just a very good knife, but one of the greatest. I feel sorry for new Spydernuts, who cannot get it to try. Of cause there are Caly3.5 and even Caly3 in ZDP/CF. But with all my love Caly3.5 feels a little different and I really never cared about CF/ZDP189 Caly3. So sprint would be nice. Dark green scales will be fantastic.

Amen, amen, JD! I actually carry mine every now and again, and there is NO mistaking what you have in your hand! I LOVE that trailing point shape!

Sure, new steel choices would be awesome to see, but I never had an issue with the edge retention or cutting power.

As usual, you and I see eye to eye on the oldies!

While I am replying to this thread, allow me to request the rebirth of the WORKER with G-10 and a modern, High Performance Steel! I always love the shape of the classic Worker, opened or closed. The superb tip allows for precision cuts. Its the one that deserves a reissue,to be sure!

I just started buying Spyderco's fairly recently, and with so many nice knives in the current catalog, it would be churlish to complain about having missed something. Still, the Calypso Jr with the burgundy FRN handles looks pretty cool in the pictures I've seen of it.
