Anyone carrying a long-discontinued knife?

Until I got a Para2 and ZT0350, my Benchmade 812SBT mini-AFCK was in my pocket constantly. Kinda getting into bigger folders after all these years.
 
Victorinox alox Soldier. It's been disco'd for a couple years now. I have two spares (plus one Wenger SI) just in case.

I used to carry a Vic SAK that I've never been able to identify. Has the saw and scissors as well as large and small blades, reamer/awl (whatever it is), can opener, bottle opener and corkscrew but no slots for toothpick and tweezers.

Sounds like a discontinued Huntsman Economy. :thumbup: If the awl doesn't have the hole it's from around 1973 to 1987. If it does have a hole it's from around 1987 to 1990.

Spyderco Yojimbo w/blue G-10 scales clipped to my jeans right now. I also bought a "spare" kept NIB for the collection.

Just started carrying my Parker Frost 3 5/8 inch, 3 blade gunboat. Its still rough to look at but works perfectly and sharpens and cuts like nothing else. It is at least 33 years out of production.
 
I sometimes carry an old Cold Steel lockback with San Mai steel, Kraton handle, 31/2 in. American tanto blade. Have never seen this one in the catalogs.
 
I carry a vintage Kershaw Big Foot from the Easy Rider series of 1980 now and then. Damn good knife.

I carry a Buck 186 Titan. It is the Ti version of the Buck 110 folding hunter. The last one was made in 1986. Because the knife was put together with screws, it is quite easy to modify. My EDC has a premium blade and has been modified to be used as a Selector (for quick blade changes). It can also do slow blade changes if you remove the blade pivot screw. I have about 2 dozen different blades for it.
 
I'll take my old Buckmaster fishing on the Columbia River once in awhile.I made an expedient shelter for some shade last year on a smokin' hot day with it,wife was grateful.
 
I just started alternating my new Buck Deuce with the old Diamond Edge (Imperial blade) I got thirty two years ago.

I'm fairly certain its a discontinued model.

:D
