Re: If you could pick one discontinued knife to turn into a sprint..
It is a truly fantastinc design. Open frame construction, compression lock, solid thick stock (allowing for regrinds :D), not to mention a really secure grip and thumb ramp. It is a hard use knife by all of my definitions. I was a fan of the Superhawk when the Superleaf dropped so it was an obvious win in my eyes and hand. Always wanteda really high hollow grind to maximize geometry for slicing. If you find one on the secondary marketi recommend jumping on it.Richierich252000 wrote:I've posed this question a few other places and the Superleaf seems to keep showing up.

Considering Eric's a master flipper, it's a shame they don't make the Spyderfly or Smallfly anymore.

I knew that there were other Brethren besides me that had fallen in love with the TEMPERANCE 1 model :cool: That blade design with a supersteel would just be outright awesome IMO.jtoler_9 wrote:Original Temperance 1 with either 3v, hap40 or Cruwear. I would prefer one of each.
I would also like to see anything in burnt orange G10
But don't overlook the value of the TEMP 1 in PE & SE both>> it is an awesome fixed blade>> Spyderco truly got it right the first time :cool:

How about some of that K390 in a Delica Wharnie where it'll get USED? Goldenrod yellow?
- best wishes, Jazz.

Spyderco Kumo, because it's a small and compact fixed blade knife. :)

Hmmm. Might have to pull out my super leaf and carry it for a while before I chime in on this topic. :)
Re: If you could pick one discontinued knife to turn into a sprint..
Full sized Jess Horn (not baby). Full CF scales and a nice stainless steel, maybe S30V or SRS15? Keep the swedge!

Thank you for bringing up. How could I forget Kumo?jacala wrote:Spyderco Kumo, because it's a small and compact fixed blade knife. :)

Re: If you could pick one discontinued knife to turn into a sprint..
Agreed! SRS15 is my first choice for Japanese steel, although if you're going to include non-Japanese I'd say B75P or RWL34 (XHP would be sweet as well). I'd throw in smooth, black G10 to emulate the old micarta.elena86 wrote:Calypso jr. in SRS15 or CTS-XHP
Calypso Jr. is the ultimate Spyderco design for me (bottom knife in borrowed photo). If the Moki plant can't cut it anymore, move the design to another plant rather than let it die!
