Anybody know if there is a Yojimbo 1 re release on the horizon?

That's the great thing about being a hoarder like me. If you never sell them off, you never regret selling them off. I still have my smurfbone Yojimbo and S60V leaf L'il Temp.

Didn't happen without a photo...
You'll have to wait until I get home, don't have either with me.

I saw that and thought the same thing. I would love a Yojimbo 1 sprint. The handle and overall ergonomics fit my hands a lot better, I could never get along with the Yo2.

The Yo1 is among the rarest Spydercos as well. I watched like a hawk for a few years and they come up for sale less often than any other mainline discontinued model. Can't imagine we'll ever see a sprint but it's nice to imagine. They could put it in line with a extra-pointy-tip E3/D3 sprint haha.

Hard to believe I paid $72 for this when it was new...seemed expensive at the time.

I think I paid $85 for my old smurf. If I could buy back some of the spydies I sold off over the years, I think that and my old lil temp s60v leaf would be my first two picks.
I found a NOS Lil Temp Leaf S60V and passed it to a forum member here. The pocket clip was just bad. I want a Yo 1 worse than any other Spyderco I have missed. Would buy a black and denim day 1

If Michael made it how he wanted to make it in the first instance, with the flat spine, he could call it...

I'm really wondering how the new Micro Jimbo is going to be ergonomically. To my understanding one of the main reasons they came out with it is to get back under the 3 inch blade mark. I wouldn't have minded just a re release of the Gen 1. It's sub 3 inch.

Touche. You weren't kidding. They look excellent. I'm the same way, all my Spydercos are users.

There was s thread recently posted. I believe it's related, in an unrelated sort of way...That's an awesome knife... Where can I buy it?

I like where LuckyM's head is at though. It's a killer looking knife!
Yes. This was the point of that thread.
