Your TWO To Return In 2020

[JD Spydo]

I would say the SS-handled H1 Mariner Salt (was that what it was called?), but I don't think it sold well during its run, and probably wouldn't do much better with a re-release. I never did get one; once I decided I might, it was already DQ'd.

Jim I cut my "Spyder-Teeth" on that GIN-1, Full SE MARINER model. It was the very first Spyder I ever owned or used. But believe me the one that followed is even far better than it was. I'm speaking of the Stainless Handled RESCUE model out of the ATS-55 era. I still EDC my Stainless RESCUE to this very day. That Stainless RESCUE model was built like an Abram's Tank. The absolute abuse and hard uses I've put that knife through is beyond belief. And like a well made watch it's still ticking. You would have to go to great lengths to destroy a Stainless RESCUE model.

I can relate to you liking that MARINER model and it was a good one>> But trust me that STAINLESS RESCUE model out of the ATS-55 era was a superior folder in every way. It's one of Spyderco's best folders ever and unfortunately got passed over because of all the great models to emerge in the late 90s/early 2000s. If you ever get a chance to snag one I highly recommend it. If you don't like it for whatever reason I'll buy it from you. Yeah I'm that confident.

Thanks, Joe. I can only imagine it being tank-like, in a way like my two SS Harpy models are (one is ATS-55 and the other is VG-10).

Jim I want a G-10 Harpy probably far more than I do any other Hawkbill at this point. Why the first run of the G-10 Harpy in the ATS-55 era flopped like it did on the sales charts still has me baffled to this very day. But I like the Harpy for more than any other Hawkbill in that size range. That model regardless of which handle material is just a really tough, well made folder. I have no doubt if they ran another run of G-10 Harpy models I doubt if 2000 of them would last more than a month at the most. It truly was a model that was never appreciated until it got discontinued like the KRIS, CAPTAIN, SPYKER and about 10 others I could mention.

The original Ronin fixed blade would be nice, perhaps with micarta scales and Cruwear.

I would really like to see a HAP40 Caly 3.5 with the same green handle as the 3 inch version.

Other than that, either a JD Smith with a hollow ground blade or a Rock Lobster with a contoured handle would both make me happy.

I truly liked the original RONIN much better than I liked the new one. The handle on the original fit my hand almost perfectly. I also liked the original Yojimbo better than I did the newer version of that model as well.

There were so many of the older models that they got it right the first time around. And most of them just need newer/better blade steel IMO.

Slysz Bowie and K2 for me personally.

This.

They've both beeen disco'd long enough to qualify for a Sprint Run I would think. Yeah both of those would be welcome for sure.
