Models you'd like to see return.

[JRinFL]

Persian, both sizes and not in G10 like the last sprints. Bolsters without screws are a must.

Like others, I think the JD Smith in a newer steel and with ambi clips, 2 way only!

Micro Dyad in bone with bolsters.

Kopa series, minus the clip.

That’s all for now.

[Robbob]

Rookie G-10 and the R.

Ditto.

Most fishermen are cheap bastids and they targeted the wrong demographic. Kinda joking here, but there are all kinds of low to moderately priced filet knives out there so it might be a tough nut to crack. I've often wondered if they had targeted an upscale market perhaps it might have been a different story.

Maybe I'm just biased because I've discovered that knives can be a hobby and that there is great enjoyment to be had from using quality tools, but it's my impression that more and more people are finding an interest in knives, and that if Spyderco test the waters with sprints of old models from time to time, some of them will eventually catch on fire. There's so many good designs in their back catalog, I think it's mostly just a matter of timing and the market being ready for them.

Ohh, and if the Catcherman returned, I'll try to get my hands on at least a couple, but I left that out from my original post as to not steal thunder from the Rookie, which might not be as useful, but still my undisputed favorite to return.

[JRinFL]

Wow, I forgot to add the Rookie on my list as well. How could I forget that?

Small Persian

Yes pls.

Would re-continued discontinued models be better, with screws in place of pins, with newer steels in place of older ones, etc.?

And, would it matter to anyone that modernized older models will deny us an appreciation of the decisions that got us to this point in Spyderco’s history?

I'm probably repeating what others have posted, but usually reruns come with new steel options or at least a different handle, so there's always something new about them. In cases where manufacturing can be upgraded or improved I would be all for screw construction, but that isn't always a case of "inferior manufacturing", because pins are used in situations where you need to put the fasteners close to the edge of the handle and Sal has said this can't always be done with screws. So for example, an all screw construction Kiwi 4 may just be impossible.

If there is only one pin and the rest are all screws, maybe still good for maintenance if the scales can rotate out of the way..

I'm glad to see this topic is still running.

It's nice to see everybody has fond feelings of models since gone.

Would love to see the return of the South Fork, Sprig, and Perrin PPT

I've always been a fan of the original Spyderco C95 Manix and would welcome its return.

The C95 Manix is a nice, big, BEEFY knife with the reliability of a lockback mechanism. When I first came upon the Spyderco website, the C95 Manix PE was amongst the first s that I ordered. There is just something practical, comfortable, and reliable about the C95 Manix that I don't quite feel with the current line of Spyderco Manixs.

Good call! This is the other one I have brought up many times. Remaking the original C95 in Cru-carta with the original dino jimping would be a dream for me!

+2!

I'll second that motion but I will say that I would like to see all three of those with different blade steels the next go-around.

I think that most all of the Sprint Runs should be considered with newer/better blade steels. In my way of thinking that just creates an all new demand for these great models.

Military with Full Serrated blade,,, ideal would be in K390 SE.

I have an early SE Military with 440V, excellent performer.

Anyone mention the Dialex Junior?

I asked for this a few times also. Hope dies last.

[BigTinVA]

A Dodo is one that I really regret not purchasing when I had the chance. I'd sure like to see it return even if for a limited run. Maybe K390 and G10 in something other than natural.

[Blue72]

Another vote for the centofante 4

[vivi]

Swick.

[5-by-5]

Man I sure wish they'd do a Paramilitary 2 again.

[ladybug93]

Swick.

oof

[ladybug93]

dodo (in a more balanced steel)
manix 2 backlock (with thinner blade stock and thinner g10)
ayoob
lc200n mule
manix 2 (regular production run)

there are a few production models i'm currently waiting on to restock as well. i'd rather have those than any disco'd models make a comeback, especially as exclusives.

I had always dreamed of a Dialex Senior
