If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
The usual suspects: Jester, Dodo and Persian. Any - or all - of them, please.

The Dodo 2 with a Pearl colored CBBL.
Make time for the important things in life, and learn to enjoy the little things more.
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
Catcherman is my pick. Full SE H1. I want to replace my Pacific Salt SE with one. It's lighter, has much more cutting edge, and the thinner blade would slice through cardboard with less resistance.
May you find peace in this life and the next.
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
I just like the BIG folder aspect in the Spyderco. I know Fish Hunter, Aqua Salt and Jump master have their lace
but the folding aspect with large long blade and serrations would be awesome.
I would still keep my Pacific Salt SE.
3 x Endura 1 SE, 1 x Endura ? CE and a Black Pacific Salt. Want Aqua Salt, Fish Hunter and a Pacific Salt Yellow.

Another vote for the Slysz Bowie
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
Just wanted to create a thread with almost the same title by myself, luckily I found yours on time... ;-)
Ok, my choice would be the Stretch 1 FRN, no question. The VG 10, HAP 40 (burnt orange) and ZDP 189 versions.
The current stretch 2 is not a bad knife, but the Stretch 1 was better imho:
Shorter closed length, but more cutting edge than the Stretch 2
For me personally better ergos, I really liked the "hook" / "parot beak like feature" on the end of the handle.
In a regular, not choked up grip (so not using the choil) hand closer to the edge
More acute tip than the stretch 2
Only thing I prefer in the stretch 2: The blade is wider above the cutting edge, so there is no "step" between the Ricasso and the cutting edge.

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)

I would second the recommendation for the Stretch 1 and for the Rookie. I would like to see a version of the Rookie in something like ZDP189.

The Spyderco Caspian Salt.
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
There're quite a few discontinued models I'd like to see done as sprints, but the only one that I think really makes sense as a part of the ongoing lineup is the Slysz Bowie. (The only one that I'm interested in, I mean. There are probably others that make sense that just don't happen to be on my radar.)
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
Definitely the Temperance II, maybe in one of the current “super” steels. I think that around a $200 pricepoint it would find more buyers. Such a beautiful, elegant design.

Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
I want a compression Dodo so bad lol
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
Superhawk C116. But with a serrated blade.
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
I know they haven't been gone long but the sprig and southfork were both great!
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
For me either the Mouse or the Navigator. I really like the idea of either of them in a premium steel and a micarta handle scales. The Salsa would be another great choice!
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
LC I love your selection of the Dodo model. It's truly one of my all time favorites. The original Dodo was made in full Spyderedge and it was a super great serrated blade and I do hope at some point we see another Spyderedged Dodo. I would also love for Spyderco to consider a bigger scale version of the Dodo model. If they made a Dodo with a bigger, wider, longer blade and just a larger scale Dodo model maybe about twice or one and a half times as big as the original I think everyone would be blown away at how great that short Reverse S blade is for all kinds of demanding cutting jobs.
There are about 4 Spyderco models I would love to see in a larger scale but the Dodo is at the very top of my list.
Re: If you could resurrect one discontinued model what would it be?
The Q ball is about that size and also has a good ergonomic handle. How would you feel about a reverse s blade in a Q ball? Most of the design is already done.
