I’d love to see a Worker with some grey G10 and REX45.

I don't know about this one. It looks like Tristan_david2001's Temperance after a heavy batonning session.

While it looks very interesting, it would be low on my list of desires due to its less than practical nature.

Those were good ones. It is a practical blade shape though. The curves add more edge length in a smaller package. The changing angles of the edge can aid in cutting like serration. Also it has some of the advantages of a hawkbill with the inner curve to gather material, and a skinner with the outer curve. As for sharpening, a sharpmaker would make easy work of it. I'll probably use my Wicked Edge. Anything but a wide stone should work. The WE stones are like a 1/2 inch wide. I sharpen Hawkbills and recurves with it all the time. Just did a Spyderco Zulu. You could use the flats of the Sharpmaker stone if you wanted.

I will keep tooting my horn for a Des Horn sprint! And a new DH design.

Yeah I missed the boat on that Des Horn model and have been looking to pick one up for years now. It was one of the few Wharnie models that I really loved the overall design.

Two other models from that era that I would also love to see return are the C-111 Captain ( SE ONLY) and the other Jason Breeden model being the Breeden RESCUE ( Also SE ONLY).

I've even wondered what a full SE version of the Des Horn would be like. But with the Des Horn I would want both edge types for sure.

Yes! A Lil Kris flash batch would be amazing too!

Really though, ANY Ed Schempp sprint run would be highly desirable!

More Ed Schempp designs please!

It's funny because Evil D and I used to wonder which recurve would be best for full SE. He was stuck on the ULIZE and I myself would love to see the ULIZE with TEETH. But I can't help but wonder what a KRIS would be like with TEETH as well.

I'm sort of surprised that there hasn't been a Sprint Run of the KRIS. Similar to the G-10 Harpy the KRIS model also pops up in conversation quite a bit. The G-10 Harpy and the KRIS both get about equal requests it seems throughout the years.

Both being specialty type models I have no doubt that sales would not be a problem. At this point I wouldn't care which recurve model that they would do a Sprint Run of.

Hearing a lot of buzz about the Slysz Bowie.

Yeah I think that the Slysz Bowie and the Kris would both be excellent for a Sprint Run. But I'm not giving up on a G-10 Handled HARPY model. We are just way overdue for a new G-10 HARPY.

Bow river in Lc200n or magnacut.

How about the old Salsa with an upgraded steel from the AUS8 it originally came with?

One of the biggest regrets in my knife collecting career is when I traded both of my Titanium Salsa models. I truly wish I would have kept one even for a user. The Ti Salsa had ATS-34 blade steel instead of the AUS-8 which most of them had and the Ti Salsa really stood out in the vast Salsa selection.

I could go 100% for another Titanium Salsa. Now I did love the looks of the Cranberry Salsa too but the Titanium version was a hidden classic.

I would love to pick up a titanium Salsa!

OK here's what we got up to this point. The most requested Sprint Run candidates are The Slysz Bowie, The KRIS, The G-10 HARPY, An SE Dodo, a Titanium SALSA, and an updated version of the C-56 Zowada.

These are all good quality selections. And all within reason. But maybe we should narrow it down to 2 or 3 models.

I dug up an old Hawkbill thread and after reading it I've decided to add a full SE SUPERHAWK to that list just above this post. I do believe that a full SE version of the SUPERHAWK would probably sell out extremely fast.

Again I could never understand why the SUPERHAWK was never offered in full SE from the get-go. It's high time to correct that oversight.

I would be in favor of a revival of the Superhawk if it was offered in PE and SE . Actually the SE would be my first choice . MG2

Yeah, I’d love to see another titanium Salsa, with upgraded steel. More knives should have the cobra hood.

Most interesting that you bring up the "Cobra Hood". Because there were a few models that I dearly loved with the Cobra Hood. My Assist I with the Carbide Glass Breaker along with my old Titanium ATR were two I dearly loved. And also the Titanium Salsa as well.

I would guess that "sales" were probably the culprit that probably spelled the demise of the Cobra Hood. Just a wild guess anyway. But for a Sprint Run of a certain model I sure wouldn't dismiss it either.

Yeah Manixguy we probably need to start a thread on "Hawkbill uses" or something along those lines. Because to this day all the uses I've found for a plain edged Hawkbill I could name on one hand. And I do own a few of them. But very rarely ever use one for anything. But a serrated Hawkbill I truly think has endless amounts of uses I've discovered.

The Superhawk was kind of dead in the water from the get-go. With all the sales they had from full SE Hawkbill blades I'm still stumped as to why they only offered the Superhawk in PE only. If they were to do a Sprint Run of the SUPEHAWK in SE only I think they would marvel at the difference in sales.

As is so eloquently stated on the FRN handle of the model we need to see another sprint run of: JESSHORNJESSHORNJESSHORN

I wouldn't all mind that 2006 Burgundy, ZDP-189 Jess Horn to come back again in a Sprint Run. That's another trade I wish I could take back. Along with my Delica with the ZDP-189 blade. Some of those earlier Sprint runs were some of the best. The Burgundy, ZDP-189 Caly JR. is one of my top 5 favorite Sprint Runs ever.

It would also be cool if Spyderco would do a remake of the C-27 Jess Horn which is my all time fav of all the Jess Horn models.

A sprint run of the old Spyderco Navigator II would be really nice to see happen.
