That’s a good question , I don’t see why they would destroy them . I had the Gray and gifted it last year to my granddaughter’s fiancé. He grinned ear to ear it’s his first Spyderco. The Goddard just feels so right in my hand . MG2bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 6:47 amC54 Calypso

Are there still molds for Goddard LW? That could be a cool sprint.

Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
Allow me to also echo a few that I’d like to see again:
C66 Vesuvius- with and without inlay!
C53 Herbst - the ergos on this model are awesome, I love it!
C22 Walker - so many options, but my favorite iteration was the blue Almite version. The early Klotzli versions are so special and rare that I’d hesitate to recommend that Carbon Fibre be used.
I’ll shake a stick at a few others, too: C110 Lava, c87 Scorpius, and c102 Adventura. I know they are out of the timeframe by a bit, but all 3 knives are exercises in ergonomics, are rare, and are so unique.

Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
JD, I’ve asked you before but I’ll say it again JD Smith all the way! It’s one of the the best looking knives from that time! It needs to follow the original form of hollow grind and micarta though. I prefer stainless like Magnacut, but SE SPY27 and Denim Micarta sounds awesome too.

Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
I would love to see a thoroughly modern version of the C-50 Centofante. I always though that knife was a real slicer.
I would also like to see the original Temperance fixed blade brought back with the original handle and blade pattern in a super steel. This is a fantastic knife. I think a steel like S90V or S110V would be amazing.

C139G Breeden Rescue.
C51FG Rookie.
And lastly.....
C48 Wegner. I've read here that this will likely never ever happen, for what reason I'm not sure? A modern version of the C48 would get me way more excited than this upcoming Ayoob, and I'm pretty excited about the Ayoob!

I'm pretty sure he went on to start his own knife company and the designs went with him. Spyderco does not run old models again without input from the designer or their family if the designer has passed. At least from what I have gathered over the years.benben wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 7:58 amC139G Breeden Rescue.

I'd be really happy to see another run of G-10 Rookies. Never tried or even held one, but it looks very much like a knife I would enjoy.
I don't know the back story on why the single liner was added, but I'm sure they had good reason to. I wouldn't mind if they found a way to make it work as a fully linerless design though.

I'm pretty sure there is a Goddard exclusive in the works in in a popular combo...

Spyderhawk and Catcherman for me as well!
When was the FRN Cricket? I really want one of those as well.
All of these could use an update though to new scales with the Bi-directional texturing and latest clips, jimping, boye dents, etc.

Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
I know very little about that old(er) models.
But there is one old linerlock Spydie that Vivi once recommended to me and of which he said it would be hard to hunt down.
Looked it up and liked a lot what I saw, just can´t remember how the model is called...

Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
How about a Blackhawk?
Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
YEah you and I both can't get enough of the Dodo model. I've still got two but I want another full SE version so badly. The Dodo in full SE is truly thee most aggressive cutting short blade Spyderco ever made.ladybug93 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 5:44 ami'd really love a shot at the dodo. in 2003, i was just starting to actually edc a knife and it wasn't anything as cool as the dodo is. i like weird things and i think i need a dodo in my collection.
edit: i just checked ebay and people want $300+ for a dodo. that's insane.
Not to mention it was Eric Glessers literal masterpiece design. Always liked his stuff anyway.
Yeah it's borderline obscene what people even want for a used Dodo. I had a guy locally get disappointed with me when I turned down a used full SE Dodo a couple of years back and he was firm at $190. There are very very few used blades that I would pay anywhere near that much for. But somebody must be paying it or else they would go for that much on the secondary markets. Crazy market for Golden Era Spyders now a days for sure.
Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
Glad you brought up the BLACKHAWK model Mr. Blonde. But I won't stop there>> because I would also want the Blackhawk & Renegade both together. For those of you who are not familiar with those two models. They are basically the same design, one bigger, one smaller. They are brothers for all intent and purposes. They were originally marketed to the motorcycle crowd back in the late 90s when first released. Not sure how that panned out.
I carried and EDCed a Renegade model for almost a year at one time. I would do it again if I could get one with a supersteel blade like M390, XHP or even K390 for that matter. Yeah both of those were super-classics from the GOLDEN ERA of SPyders ( 1998-2004)
Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
My heart is with you BenBen and it does seem like we have similar tastes in blades. However both of those Breeden models were introduces way after the Golden Era of Spyders. Now I guess there could be a case to be made that the C-111 Captain was close enough for horseshoes and hand Grenades because I believe it came about 2007 or -08. The Breeden RESCUE I think was after the 2010 timeline. But I do agree that both Breeden models were two that I liked as well.benben wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:52 amThe Breeden Rescue has the perfect amount of belly, fully serrated LC200N would be a perfect fit!VooDooChild wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:22 amSpyderhawk salt

No objection there at all Dazen. Actually the idea is growing on me quickly with everything you listed. I'm in for a jazzed up version of the JD Smith for sure.Dazen wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 7:50 amJD, I’ve asked you before but I’ll say it again JD Smith all the way!

Re: Which GOLDEN ERA Model Should Be Next?
What I like most about the Goddard LW is the fact that it is a large blade in linerless FRN. Outside of the PAC Salt that’s something you don’t see too much. I also really like the overall design - it has a classic, old-school feel that reminds me of a Buck 110, just far lighter and in better materials (in my opinion). So overall it’s just a nice classic design. It also took a minute for it to grow on me... I was honestly a little underwhelmed when I first got one but I quickly came to love it’s simplicity and easy carry.JD Spydo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 3:01 amThat's most interesting "Samdasnake" but could you please tell us what it is about the GODDARD model that you like so much?samdasnake wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 12:18 amIt’s funny you mention the Goddard.

I had a Gray Goddard once with a VG-10 blade and I must admit it kind of grew on you. I would love to see a Goddard in full Spyderedge.
