Speaking of golden-era Spydies, I’d really like a new Wayne Goddard.

Re: Bring back the J.D. Smith?
The JD Smith is an amazing model, both the original Micarta versions and the foliage green G10 sprint from 2009. Size-wise it’s very similar to the full size Calypso and the Native Chief. I’d be in for another sprint run, especially if it was linerless Micarta again (in K390!), but I’m pretty happy with this one. I also have the different size Goddards and find the JD Smith to be more elegant and frankly better-looking. I’d really like to update the group shot below with the new Massad Ayoob sprint, hopefully soon! Cheers, Radioactive

Re: Bring back the J.D. Smith?
I agree with Evil D that the original Micarta version of the JD Smith was truly something special. I've thought several times tht the JD Smith with a Titanium handle would be extremely cool.
The JD Smith is such a useful design and would make a very versatile EDC folder. Again I would love to test drive one with a Supersteel blade.
