Can‘t wait to see the price dropping....
Me too! Might very well tip the scale for me as it did with the Vrango :)

Well that's unfortunate. It's had a good run though. I guess I know what I'm buying myself for Xmas...

Is the Techno next?
Sal told me at Blade that they'd already be making the Techno 2 based on Slysz's Mouse 2 except that the Techno continues to sell well. I'd bet on seeing the Techno 2 in the '18 catalog, and the Techno discontinued this time next year.

Spyderco has only so much factory capacity, I’m sure they make their choices carefully.

Agree, I’m sure the Bowie eats up capacity with all that finishing work...

They will also need to push over new high end flagship, I understand the decision:I guess the bowie sells well but they cannot have new model that are very similar in the destination market, it will kill The new product.

Happy to see new models. But now my expecations went up!

To be honest i can't really understand the lamentation of models to be discontinued? Simply get one now, or two and move on :)
The ones i lament the most are really old and disco'd donkeys age ago, but the newer ones are still avaliable pretty easily.
