+1 Wilson and Gayle Bradley are by far my favouriteskennethsime wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 2:43 pmHere's where I show my loyalties, my favorite designer is Sal. :)
That said, I think Gayle Bradley and Phil Wilson are my favorite Spyderco collaborators so far.

Who has the Ouija board? The last I heard, Frank Centofante and Howard Viele were both among the departed. I would think that would present some difficulties in collaborating.

Sign me up for this one.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?
Phil Wilson and Gayle Bradley for me too.
I’d like to see a version of Phil’s Coyote Meadow, thinly ground and in K390, and a return to the Wilson fillet knife that never made it into production.
Perhaps SPY27 would be a good steel to try out for that kind of knife?

Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?
I haven't even thought of those Hossom models in quite some time now. I haven't even seen one or heard one talked about for at least 4 years that I can remember. And when those Hossom models were around it seemed like almost everyone was trying to make trades for them.
I would like to see what type or variant of a Gurkha Kukri that Hossom would come up with. I also bet he could come up with an awesome "razel" type blade. You see Hossom occasionally in the knife magazines but not like I did about 10 years ago.
Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?
Don't give them any ideas YAB :eek: As much as a lot of the guys liked Frank Centofante they might just try it :Dyablanowitz wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 10:28 pmWho has the Ouija board?

I was almost sick when Sal said some time back that they had destroyed all the tooling for the C-50 Centofante model. I held out hope for a long time that we would see a Sprint Run of the C-50 only to find out the bad news. I traded both of my C-50 models some time back and I've never had the opportunity to get another one. That C-50 reminded me so much of that classic Phil Boguszewski Spike model which was a Benchmade model that I cut my teeth on with high end blades.
Those C-25 Centofante models used to be quite easy to find. I bet it would be a hard job to find one now.
Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?
I still want to see both the C-111 Captain and Breeden Rescue return in in full SE. I won't give up hope on that idea. Why they never made either one or both of those Breeden models with a full Spyderedge always confused me. Because both of those models would have sold like Rolling Stones tickets had they been made available in full SE.VooDooChild wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 10:36 pmGoddard

And the ULIZE would have been an awesome model in full SE as well. Why Spyderco doesn't do at least one of their great recurve models in full Spyderedge has always baffled me :confused:

Those are my two biggest hang-ups with that brand too.

Easiest decision all day... Peter Rassenti (Nirvana & Paysan)
I have the Paysan and have been window shopping for a Nirvana and a couple of his custom pieces, his work is absolutely amazing.

Mike Read. The integral spring/torsion bar design is too brilliant to only be used on once. Even if the PITS itself gets another run some day, I’d love to see another design.

Painfully true, but I'd happily settle for sprints of their previous models.

Yeah, I’d add Jess Horn there too. Still hope we see a full size g10 version to go with the Recent Baby Horn sprint eventually.

Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?
I want to see a new Paul Alexander design, though I know his collaborations are still recent.
Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?
I'm a big fan of Gayle Bradley's GB2, Jim Ankerson and Darrin Sanders.

Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?
The Glessers are my #1 favorite designers of any product ever, of all time. I would like to see more original Glesser designs :)
I think Gayle Bradley would be the collaborator I'm most excited to see more of. The GB2 is one of the most flawlessly executed knives in my small collection. It's uniquely Spyderco, but has great aesthetic balance and is a hard worker.
I would also like to see what Jony Ive could do in the cutlery space. He's made plenty of terrible things, but coming from outside of the knife world I could imagine some unique perspective. Dieter Rams could be a nice sub in, too :)

Kevin Smock & Serge Panchenko. More than any other.
I'm a big big fan of collaborations, and there are many more makers that made extremely cool knives together with Spyderco. But Smock and Panchenko, I would kill for more collab knives with Spyderco. Well, not actually kill, but... :rolleyes:
