A sad revelation

I miss the Catcherman, but my biggest regret is missing out on the Swick 2. I collect Golden-made Spydercos so I'm really disappointed not to have one, and even if I bought one from the USA they're a difficult thing to ship into the UK as Customs can class them as an illegal push-dagger. IF (and it's a big IF with only 600 made) I ever find one in the UK I doubt I'll ever be able to afford the price a British seller would charge :(
 
I wonder if they're ever going to do a catcherman in H1. That'd be sweet. I'd also like to see another Spydersaw.
 
i really wish i they made the q's again. they made them in all those cool patterns. i loved that knife but didnt even knw who made it untill mine was broken and the entire line discontinued

Original Large Manix (have one - afraid of losing it)
ZDP Caly Jr (have one - afraid of losing it)

Pro Venator (lost mine in a cab in Chicago in 1999)
Starmate (shoulda bought one when it was out)
 
I wish I never sold my Kumo, and of course I wish I never lost my SPOT micarta PE, which I've never replaced because they're so hard to find and always too expensive. I had it fastened to my backpack strap, but had to remove it because I was flying. Never saw it again, which to this day baffles me. I have a SWICK (original wharncliffe), but never strapped it to my backpack as the sheath doesn't hold it very tightly, and the finger hole isn't as big.
 
I do miss a Starmate. Tried most of the other ones they have ever made, and secured one of the ones I really like :D

Got a bit of a hope for a rerun of the Starmate sometime in the future. Hopefully made in Golden or Taiwan (wonder fit and finish on my Sages)

No question in my mind; the Mini Manix is a classic. I have a lot of Spydercos –all users– and it's the only knife that I have invested in multiple back-ups. For my use(s) it is the best designed folder I have ever handled. –P
 
I've been lucky enough to be able to snatch up my favorites when they were originally available, the original Manix and the Lil Temperance. I was kind of disappointed when I found out that the Captain was no longer available. I think I like the Breeden Rescue even better though. I need to get one of those since I'm getting a second chance.
 
I really love the A.T.R. and the Adventura. I know Spydercos are meant to be used, but I can't bring myself to pocket either of those two because I want them to last forever. :o

I've been disappointed that I missed out on the Vesuvius, Poliwog, Lava, and original full size Persian (I know there's the Persian 2 now, but no bolsters!) and to a slightly lesser extent, I've always wanted to add the fixed blade Lum Tanto and the Kumo to my collection. :)
