Re: If you could pick one discontinued knife to turn into a sprint..
So many...I would REALLY like to see a couple of runs of Japan-made knives in G10 with Hap40, Superblue, VTOKU, and then whatever the hot steel of the year is each year after that. So what they are doing with the Seki FRN family of knives, but in G10. G10 Delica, Endura, Stretch, Dragonfly, Jester, Rookie, Worker, Caly 3, Caly 3.5, and Caly Jr. One run a year in the same steel with matching G10 colors. I'd buy a couple sets each year! Can we please start with laminated Superblue and Blurple G10????

I also would LOVE to see a run of these models as full Salts with transluscent yellow G10, and full serrated H1 blades! :eek:steelcity16 wrote:So many...I would REALLY like to see a couple of runs of Japan-made knives in G10 with Hap40, Superblue, VTOKU, and then whatever the hot steel of the year is each year after that.

This is a hard one, but I think I pick the Phoenix.
Re: If you could pick one discontinued knife to turn into a sprint..
Double Bevel without the tanto .... actually without the double bevel either - Starmate shaped blade in a Double Bevel chassis ... or a FFG mini Starmate with 3mm blade stock and a 3.2 inch blade

If I only get one pick, I'd take an LC200N Catcherman. I'd love to see it updated to a wire clip while I’m dreaming.
Re: If you could pick one discontinued knife to turn into a sprint..
Exactly that. That very thread got me to round the cutting edge on my Double Bevel. I don’t have the skill, tools or patience to regrind the whole thing flat but getting rid of the tanto makes a big difference to me already. It also made me re-evaluate my desire for a Lum Tanto .... and I’m thinking of rounding off the tanto on my LFTi .... more of a challenge due to the coating.T_MAC686 wrote:You mean like this?PSquared wrote:Double Bevel without the tanto .... actually without the double bevel either - Starmate shaped blade in a Double Bevel chassis ...

Probably the Dodo. I know it already got a couple of sprints, but there's no need for it stay extinct, right?!
