Anyone carrying a long-discontinued knife?

Gerber LST with black micarta scales, not sure when the plastic versions started

My initial thought was no--since knives are always being improved, I like to carry the latest and greatest. However, I do carry at work a blackie-collins-designed Camillus 'Crossfire' utility knife that is no longer made since Camillius went belly-up.

I wish that Meyerco or someone would pick up that design, although I was smart enough to buy 3 or 4 of them before they became unavailable.
 
Large regular Sebenza, well I guess it's not long discoed... I carry a Spydie Meerkat once in awhile...
 
Although the Military model is not discontinued, the version I carry is, CF BG-42! The best of the Military Versions.

I used to carry my CS Urban Pal EDC long after it was discontinued. There is a current knife by the same name, but it is a very different knife, more of a larger version of the Mini Pal.

I sometimes carry my zytel clip Endura and my Endura 98, but I consider those older versions of a current production knife more than a discontinued knife.
 
The knife I EDC the most that is discontinued is my trusty Benchmade PE 735BT. It's still a top notch knife!
 
I prefer the Spyderco Delica 3 and Endura 3 the the current model 4 version. Endura 3SE in my pocket right now.
 
Every so often I'll carry an older GERBER BOLT ACTION - mid-80's vintage, as well as my old Cold Steel large Shinobo (I now have a spare).

Had an old Case serpentine "farmer's" knife (serpentine three blade - leather punch, spey, and full-size blade), but destiny took it recently
 
Two favorites I keep in rotation: a SOG Tool-clip (the full size) and a Camillus "Demo" knife (slippie). Oops, almost forgot about the neckers: Becker Necker and Cuda D-2 Arclite. Also Becker Companion.
 
Victorinox Vagabond/Manager, discontinued for at least 7 or 8 years. I do have a few (6 or 7 I think :D) backups.
