You would have definitely had some cutting leverage with it.

Now that one puzzles me. Why the huge ricasso? Looks like it could have nearly 50% more cutting edge if that portion had been ground with the rest of the blade. :confused:

I miss this one. It was a great knife and very interesting aesthetically. The foliage green G10 era was one I truly enjoyed, despite the widespread criticism of the color.

Are you talking in reference to that Karambit I was talking about. Hey I'm not making that up either. I know a few woodworkers in the area and I stay in touch with them because their suppliers have lots of good sharpening tools.

But yes I can sort of see how that Spyderco Karambit would have the potential to do intricate carving. There is a company that has been advertising a lot in the knife magazines>> the name of the company is "Flexcut" and I must admit that they have several interesting carving tools. I'm also sure that several other Karambits made by other companies would also make for good woodworking tools as well.

That's what I like about any type of Hawkbill type blade. Because "Pull Cutting" for sure has a lot of advantages for certain jobs.

I never owned one of those "Barong" models but I have been on the lookout for one I could trade for. I wouldn't even mind having a used one because I'm sure that there would be jobs that Barong would be good for. Since it was discontinued I haven't heard much talk about it.

Many of those Ed Schempp designs have a cult following but mainly a small crowd for the most part. I would still like to see his KRIS model in a Sprint Run at some point. That's another "Recurve" model I would like to see with TEETH :cool:

The Barong is one of the traditional martial blades of our country and I hope that someday, Spyderco would produce a new, updated one like the upcoming Ayoob, or maybe even reissue the Schempp design with newer blade steels.

Not completely forgotten but possibly fading from memory.



I carry my Almite version a few times a year. The Nishijin version is in my pocket today for the first time in many years.

There is something about all the Spyderco models that were designed by Bob Lum. I didn't even like Tanto blades until I got one designed by Bob Lum and I ended up loving his. He was an excellent knife designer and his concepts were quite unique.

That Chinese model is one I owned a couple of times but I never found it nearly as useful as I do my C-46 Lum Tanto folder. The Lum fixed blade is a great one too.

[bearrowland]

Yes JD, the Karambit. The shape of that blade looks like it would be a great woodworking knife. I really like the different updates on traditional knives that Spyderco put out.

Reject if you keep this up you're going to be charged with "torment" :D It's just not fair to torment me with all these "Golden Oldies" you keep putting on the table :o

I'm kind of surprised you haven't shown us any "two screw Worker" models. They are as rare as a hen's tooth but I still figure if anyone here has one it would be you or the Deacon :D

I'm doubtful if even one the Glesser family could top what you've been showing us :cool: But don't stop now just keep them coming :)

[Reject]

Sorry; no two screw Workers in my collection. I would love to see it posted there too.

But this thread is about "Completely Forgotten Spyderco Models: Your Favorites?". :eek: What Spydie fan would forget about the C01 Worker.

In my opinion, any reverie about the folding knife ethnic series of Mr. Ed Schempp
must include his Bowie.

You know, the Schempp Bowie was on my list of knives to buy at the Second's Sale. None made it, though. Just from looking at it, it strikes me as an underrated user knife.

I keep coming back to the Tusk and the Rookie. My son is a sailor, and loves Spyderco. I love the looks of the Rookie. I envy you all that have been in the Spyderco universe for awhile. So many gorgeous, truly unique knives.

I had two of those Shabaria models at one time. And later on I acquired a used one that I thought I would try to carry for a while. But that handle configuration and overall design just didn't fit my hand at all. The Shabaria was a most interesting design and I would love to have been able to ask the man who designed it what inspired him to do so.

Glad you shared that photo with us. You don't see or hear of the Shabaria much at all anymore,. This has become a most interesting thread. Don't stop now whatever you guys do :)
