2018 Discontinued List
Re: 2018 Discontinued List
Might have to finally pull the trigger on the Manix backlock and sprig (although I have little use for it TBH).
Re: 2018 Discontinued List
Is the stretch 3 coming in g10, or a stretch 2 frn?
Hate losing a zdp model
Also, losing the nicer version of the Benchmade grip sucks, I hope the 4 will be back with a vengeance

Yes, I considered adding that as another reason, but ultimately decided not to as the price in a few years will likely be higher than it was new. People will pay it.

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
The stealth Chaparral had a good run, It's my most oft used Spyderco. I am generally opposed to buying pre-need replacements but I am sorely tempted to get another before they are gone for good.
But then I'm planning on the Mcnees, the Ankerson/Sanders Bowie, and strongly considering the new hatchet...decisions, decisions.

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
Really glad I recently picked up a Pattada. I actually already have quite a few on this years list. Few!
The Euroedge, Mantra and ManixBL are all tempting. I am trying to talk myself out of all of them. The Euroedge isn't very practical but it is dead sexy. Ugh... I don't like bearings but I LOVE M4 and I LOvVE the Delica. Ugh... The ManixBL will soon be gone forever. Do I really want to miss out on it? Ugh...
Time to liquidate some funds me thinks!

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
The Sliverax may have killed the Ouroboros. When you compared the two it was a no brainer.Liquid Cobra wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:14 pmSpydergirl88 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 12:59 pmAnd priceLiquid Cobra wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 12:50 pmThe ouroboros will be something collectors hunt for someday that’s for sure.

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
So there's the opportunity to add PSF27 and O1 at friendly prices. The Bushcraft is a beauty. The Junction, imho not so much. Problem is, fixed blades really need the outdoors, and I'm a townie...
I tend to replace my FRN Stretch with the G10 version, and that'll be all. Unless they add more models.

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
I'm trying really hard not to get caught in the "hype" for lack of better word to panic-buy some knife i really never intended to in the first place.. Why is it that every time the fact that something will be disco'd trigger the "Darn, i must buy one" reflex?!

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
The Euroedge is awesome. I already own one. At that price...wow.
I might have to give the D'Allara 3 another shot.
I'm surprised the Lil' Temp 3 and Q Ball were not disco'd.
Very surprised the Manix 2 back lock was already cut. Somewhat surprised about the ATR 2 too.

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
Ironically I was about to order the Chefs Knife anyway, but it was out of stock on this continent, so have just ordered it from KC.
Re: 2018 Discontinued List
I hear you. I fought it and missed out on the Southfork. I also really wish I had bought a backup Slyz Bowie. Now I never carry mine because I'm afraid to lose it.Larry_Mott wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:36 pmI'm trying really hard not to get caught in the "hype" for lack of better word to panic-buy some knife i really never intended to in the first place..

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
Because I missed out on the Slysz Bowie, Southfork, Street Beat Micarta, many more. Also buying it discounted now feels better than paying double or triple next year when I decide oh hey I want that knife now. Honestly though I was going to buy the Sprig this morning but held off and then magically 2 hrs later it became discontinued so I couldn't pass that up. Wish I would've seen knifecenter's prices before I "panic-bought" at GP. :pLarry_Mott wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:36 pmI'm trying really hard not to get caught in the "hype" for lack of better word to panic-buy some knife i really never intended to in the first place..

Re: 2018 Discontinued List
Believe me, i know all about missing out on disco'd models and paying premium for it *Kopa cough cough* However i feel (in my case) that the mere fact that a model will be discontinued makes me pull the trigger on models i wouldn't really care for. If you have the money, by all means buy now and probably get your money back later! All im saying is in my case it is a "created/circumstantial" desire/need :)Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 3:00 pmBecause I missed out on the Slysz Bowie, Southfork, Street Beat Micarta, many more.

Its probably my most carried 3 incher over the last 5 years. Excellent knife.

The Sage 2 was something like $20 cheaper on KC. Thanks for that. I now have one on the way.archangel wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:29 pmAnd on KC
