Though I have all the Aqua Salts I will ever need, I wish these would come back for others to enjoy. One of my favorite Spyderco knives. Maybe there's just not enough demand for fixed blade knives? Whenever the question comes up as to Top 5 knives, Aqua Salt is always on my list. Sal designed another classic in this one. They occasionally pop up on the bay.

The Golden Oldies: Spyderco models from 1998 to 2003

#33

Post by JD Spydo »

Being I'm such an avid fan of many of Spyderco's older discontinued models this is an easy one for me. But on the other hand there are a lot of the ones I particular miss from the Golden Era Of Spyders (1998-2003) as I affectionately like to refer to the time period.

For conventional folders my list is:
Massad Ayoob
J.D. Smith
Zowada
C-50 Centofante
C-44 Dyad

For fixed blades & Specialty blades:
Temperance 1 model (PE & SE)
Catcherman
Dodo
H-1, Spyderhawk

and the most missed model of them the G-10 Harpy

And for the life of me I can't understand why we haven't seen the G-10 Harpy return especially with the success the G-10 Police has seen.

The C-44 Dyad to me is the most functional Spyder I've ever EDCed.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!

The original Calypso Jr's were sweet little knives.

The original Starmate in 440V was a heckuva knife in its day and the Chinook 1 was almost bomb-proof.

The Wegners and the Goddards were good knives too.

I'd love to see the original Michael Walker return with a wire clip instead of the molded clip. That would be the $^#+!!!!

I never got a hold of a Captain or Rock Lobster. Sadly both are discontinued.
