Yep, that's why I was darn near shocked by your answer in Starling's purple poll. Scales can always be replaced. :Dbh49 wrote:C83 Persian (will take any flavor)
My personal choice would be the K05P plain edge Pro_culinaire 4.5" Utility Knife. Think there would be major collector interest in a "Spyderco 30th Anniverary" C35 Q. And, like Roman, any excuse to bring back the C83 Schempp Persian, even if only momentarily, works for me. :D

OMFG !
Did I forget to add th C83 in my list :eek: I'll have to go back and fix it.... dunno why I missed it. Any flavour for me also :p but Paul, you stag one is most delicious.
I think in another thread both Roman and myself voted for white micarta to replace the black micarta of the previous iteration. That would most likely be the simplest sprint stock we could ask for on that knife.
If FFG can be done on the blade I would pre-order a dozen before the newspaper gets a chance to cool down :)

yeah but...
I'd have to agree with the Deac's suggestion above. I believe that these type of anniversary or commemorative models seem to do very well, the one exception is perhaps the worker, as dealers had them for a very long time after introduction, and they appear to still be readily available in the aftermarket.Think there would be major collector interest in a "Spyderco 30th Anniverary" C35 Q.
I am doubtful about the financial viability of a simple re-introduction from a strictly business point of view, as I believe is evidenced by the " unannounced sale ( ends today )" of the co-pilot sprint from two years ago. Many dealers still have new stock on hand, and the SFO is trying to move them with a sale this weekend, all this for a quantity of only 1200 units.

I do agree with many of the suggestion. I believe we should really think about the knives which truly are super rare and which are hard to come by in the marketplace.

The above are the only ones I have had trouble getting a hold of. The rest which have been mentioned quite frequently come up for sale at one time or another. I believe the above represent models represent a lot of history and should once again make a comeback. Same everything but a newer and better steel.
