Anybody know if there is a Yojimbo 1 re release on the horizon?

I saw a YouTube Short from Spyderco of the Yojimbo 1. I'm sure hoping that means that a re release is coming soon. Anybody know anything?

Haven't heard any news but I'd be interested. The ergos worked better for me than gen 2. Could use an updated clip though IMO.

I completely agree with you. A deep pocket clip would be excellent on it also.

That's wishful thinking, but there is nothing in the works.

Stay safe,

That video simply shows a gen-1 Yojimbo. It doesn't say anything about re-introducing it.

Our in-house videographer does "blade of the day" videos of various Spyderco knives and likes featuring discontinued models. Personally, I think those are best reserved for "Throwback Thursdays" so people know its a retro reference, but my realm of influence is small. It's both nice and disconcerting to know I was right...

Stay safe,

Mike

There was s thread recently posted. I believe it's related, in an unrelated sort of way...That's an awesome knife... Where can I buy it?

I like where LuckyM's head is at though. It's a killer looking knife!

“Teaser” would imply that there are plans for this to happen in the future, which there is not.

All I have to say is ☹️. I was soooo wishing that they were going to do a re release. To me that model is perfect. I do like the 2 also but number one is the one.

Yes, there is a chance. There is also a chance that the moon will fall out of the sky.

Hard to believe I paid $72 for this when it was new...seemed expensive at the time.

I think I paid $85 for my old smurf. If I could buy back some of the spydies I sold off over the years, I think that and my old lil temp s60v leaf would be my first two picks.

That's the great thing about being a hoarder like me. If you never sell them off, you never regret selling them off. I still have my smurfbone Yojimbo and S60V leaf L'il Temp.
