Best Spyderco knives that ever got discontinued

[Evil D]

Just like it says...what would you say are the best knives in the lineup to ever get discontinued?

Just by browsing the disco list on the catalog website, I'd have to say:

VG10 Caly 3 (including the SE version)
Centofante 4
Kiwi 3 (the SS VG10 locking version)
Kopa

[Liquid Cobra]

Hmm... I think you will get many different responses according to people's taste. I'm expecting a lot of people to say the caly jr.

My pick would be for the Bob Lum Tanto Folder. I can say that because I own one and I really dig it. But there are many models that have been discontinued that I've never seen or held in person which makes this harder to answer. The one I lust after most is the A.T.R.

[Evil D]

Yeah there really are no wrong answers here.

I own every knife in your list so I can't disagree with it, howevr I would have to add:

Caly Jr.
Spyderhawk
Barong
Superleaf
HOSSOM!

I agree with you on the G-10 Caly 3. Some people seem to like the 3.5 more, though.

C95, the original, full sized, 4mm thick blade, Manix.
Calypso.
Captain.
Dodo.
Pride Integrity Guts Police.

[dgebler]

-C95 Manix
-Catcherman H1
-Chinook 1
-Kiwi 3/Kopa

[Surfingringo]

Ive never had a chance to own a catcherman but I would sure like to, so that's my vote.

Edit: h1 version with a metal pocket clip as long as I'm wishing.

Good call on the Manix and especially the Captain.

[Invective]

Centofante 4

Barong
HOSSOM!

Captain.

These are all on my list as well. But I would add the SE 440V workhorses, the Native and Military. These are some of the hardest working knives I've got, durable as all get out and that 440V steel is one of the best steels for SE that I have used. I'd also add in the Schempp Khukuri, such a unique but useful knife, and I regret selling mine, but it went to a good cause.

The D'Allara

Tom

[vaisforlovers]

For me...

1. Caly 3 G10 with VG-10 steel
2. Jester
3. Kopa

Just off the podium would be Barong and Phoenix

in that order

[nccole]

I don't have any I wish would come back. Phoenix, Barong, Centofante 4, Superleaf, and PPT.

[razorsharp]

Perrin PPT and superleaf/hawk and Khukuri

Of knives I havent handled, I would say dodo, Adventura and phoenix

[SpyderEdgeForever]

[bh49]

C83 Bolstered Black micartaPersian
Kopa
Caly3
Dodo
Jester
ATR
C95 ( I like my XL, but missing 4 mm blade)
LiL T
Ronin
Adventura
Lava
Spyderhawk SE

[OldSarSwmr]

Renegade

[bearfacedkiller]

I would like to see the Centofante 4 come back.

The Merlin in ZDP or VG10.

Doggone it man, you stole most of my list! The only one I would have omitted would have been the police. The first 4 listed were all that I would have named - plus maybe the Caly 3.

Lil Temp, both Leaf and Rhino
