I'm gonna miss the Stainless Steel Rescue the most by far, then the Stainless Worker.
heres some tissues for ya sammo.
Puffs (with aloe) for that red, sore, spydie missing nose of yours. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I'll miss the Centofantes, particularly the Jr. I find the thin Wharncliffe style blade is very useful for my daily tasks such as cutting out clippings, peeling fruit, removing splinters and sharpening pencils.
I have one of the micarta-Wayne Goddards, and I think it has to be one of the best looking blade designs Spyderco has ever produced! Got to admit most of those big holes make it hard to streamline a blade...so even though Goddards are fairly large,it is very flat and a good looking blade as well as very serviceable!
I had to replace my very old Endura this past summer as I lost it white water rafting at Glacier national park,I never went anywhere without that blade...just glad it didn't open on the way down!Sure do miss that old knife!
treb, I agree with you. At another forum I posted that it will be unfortunate that there will be a number of Spyderco fans both longtime and new who will not have the experience of handling the "original" Peter Herbst. Both you and I know how smooth that knife cycles--I guess we're among the lucky few.
!WHAT! No tears for the Q-Knife?!?!? The weight,size,blade shape,edges & of course those skeltonized handles & blades with their'cute'patterns made them a hit with my crew!I collected them for my sons & gifted a few:the consistant reply was"Where can I get one!?!?" Come on;Bring 'Em Back!!!
Thanks to a tip from Sharp1... I just got a "Q" H&K for 55.00 from this site (see below) Since you're "into" guns this might be desirable to you.
Also got an "R" from johnfjensen for 96.00 both great knives!
Well Hoosierdaddy, someone out there is a "Q-natic!" Seems to be having all them specially made blades for different companies.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
