Do old style Spyderco knives ever come back?
Do old style Spyderco knives ever come back?
Do any of you ever see an old model Spyderco, like the Jester, Meerkat, Salsa, Catcherman, etc. ever come back, I don't think I have seen any. Spyderco is improving their products every day. So I don't think we will ever see old ones come back maybe a newer improved version but that would be it. Or am I wrong?

yes but that is a special knife that launched spyderco to what it is right now, I am talking about much more common production models.

Yes, they do come back... Mostly in the form of Sprints and/or special runs, though. It's interesting to note that these new, "reincarnated" models usually feature a few upgrades from the original models too (e.g. higher grade steel, better locking mechanisms, handle materials, etc.).
Having said that, I'm still a big 'ol fan of the old school Spyders from about 10+ years ago. That's the good stuff right there.

The Jester came back and there are plans for another sprint (i think), the Meerkat got a sprint, the Salsa is getting a sprint. Not sure about the Catcherman.opusxpn wrote:Do any of you ever see an old model Spyderco, like the Jester, Meerkat, Salsa, Catcherman, etc. ever come back, I don't think I have seen any.

Even the ATR is coming back as a sprint (Which is causing anticipation the like of which I'm at odds trying to describe), and I do seem to remember reading in a thread that the Salsa may make a comeback with or without the cobra hood (I'm hoping it will remain).

Yeah, I'm "kinda" excited about the ATR sprint.3rdGenRigger wrote:Even the ATR is coming back as a sprint (Which is causing anticipation the like of which I'm at odds trying to describe), and I do seem to remember reading in a thread that the Salsa may make a comeback with or without the cobra hood (I'm hoping it will remain).

I'm as excited as I could be...I want an ATR sprint more than any other model, and just about jumped out of my socks when we got confirmation that there would indeed be a sprint. I do hope they retain the cobra hood...it wouldn't be a deal breaker, but I don't think it would be the same without it. I recently found a Titanium Salsa, and couldn't imagine it without a cobra hood...it just works ergonomically with the handle shape/thickness.

Yeah that was great!! We have our good Brother Clovisc to thank for that one. Haven't heard from him lately either I hope he is doing well. Also the reincarnation of the Spyderhawk in H-1 steel sold much better than the original VG-10 model from back in 2003. I just hope we can get another G-10 Harpy back in production again. And we have a lot of people sabre rattling over that one.yablanowitz wrote:And let's not forget we talked Sal into bringing back the SpyderHawk with the original tooling but H-1 steel. I believe the Salt version stayed around longer than the original.
I think what this Brother is wondering is if older models are coming back exactly the same as when they were discontinued>> I'm pretty sure that's what he is asking us. But to me that would just be stupid in most cases because if the model was a good one then why wouldn't you use a better steel and handle material. That's why I personally like most Sprint runs because they are usually an improvement over the old/original model.
Interesting subject to discuss but I want to see knives evolve into something better than the original myself.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!
