If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?

I'd like to see another run of the Rookie, perhaps with CF instead of G10. A runner up would be the smaller bolstered Persian.

I'd love to see the Ironstone Hunter once again. Stainless steel drop point. Yes please...

For me, the Rock Lobster or Phoenix

I like yours with the handle mod and the pointy blade. I rarely use mine as the handle isn't great for me.Evil D wrote:Yeah, high price, non exotic materials and a funky looking handle makes for hard sales.

Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
C31 Europa was never really discontinued, but is a sprint run of it really too much to ask? :D
Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
Centofante 4 and Rock Lobster are near the top of my list too.Evil D wrote:Idk that's a tough one. Probably either the Centofante 4 or Rock Lobster. Both are knives I would use a heck of a lot more if they were readily available at low prices.
I think my first choice would be the SuperHawk.
Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
Michael Walker and Howard Viele have already been mentioned and those are a couple of my favorites but I'd also like to see the Jerry Hossom fixed blades make another run. Just too pricey for my blood on the secondary.
Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
I would buy this knife, but my choice would be to keep an original grind, no dent will be a plus. VG10 if great.The Deacon wrote:Orginal bolstered C83 Schempp Persian, but with the FFG blade of the "dash 2" tactical version, without a Boye dent, and dressed in whatever wood graces this prototype...
...VG-10 would be my preferred steel, unless the folks at Moki have suddenly become more amenable to Odin's Eye Damasteel.
Second choice: Clipless Kopa with 2 mm thick blade, no dent and olive wood or ancient ivory micarta or smooth bone (ancient ivory micarta color) scales.

Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
I love the handle and blade shape on the Standard. I'd like to see a modern FFG and G-10 rerelease of the Standard model. Not picky about steel type, VG-10 would be fine!
Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
The Centofante 4.
What would I change? I would love to see a Cento 4 with burgundy g10 scales with skeletonized liners, ffg vg10 blade (keep the thin blade, please), and, a compression lock.
Sign me up for 10!

Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
I got mine when they were closed out. Think I paid about $100 for the Forrester ... Traded them later because they weren't the best design for me use :oBarman wrote:Michael Walker and Howard Viele have already been mentioned and those are a couple of my favorites but I'd also like to see the Jerry Hossom fixed blades make another run.

I would like to see a Lil Temperance folder with an integral one piece G10 frame/handle. Bigger pivot and metal washers and about half inch longer blade.

Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
I cannot limit the selection to only one choice.
Here's what I would choose:
1. Michael Walker (CF, FRN, Ti--or any configuration)
2. Centofante II (C50)
3. Jess Horn (any configuration)
4. Dyad Jr.
5. C15 or C19 Terzuola

This would be a good one too. :cool:

Re: If you could bring one discontinued Spyderco back?
The R is one of my favorite Spyderco designs, but the one with the skeleonized blade seems like it wouldn't be the most practical user in the bunch, but I would like to see a regular production R (although that's never been the case so it really doesn't count for this discussion).
I always liked the looks of the Herbst, but never felt like paying the aftermarket price to check it out, so I guess that'd be my answer for this question.
