Discontinued Knives you wished had a re-run/update on?

As far as the American market: Victorinox Excelsior & Alox Bantam.
AG Russell Pinched Peanut in a cover other than Mammoth Ivory
Al Mar Hawk Ultralight, ZDP-189 Eagle. Heck, just put stuff out again.
Spyderco Caly 3 or Caly Jr
GEC & Queen Sodbusters

There are probably more, but I try not to dwell too much on what I missed out on.
 
I was going to say Bark River Evo 1, but searching for it, I see they sell a Blackjack Mamba II - it looks similar.
 
I definitely wish I would have bought an extra Cold Steel Talwar. As far as changes I would prefer the handle to be about half an inch longer. I'm referring to the 4" model.

If the handle had been a half inch longer I would still own one. Just about the only knife I tried twice and I gave up on both times due to the cramped handle.
 
Columbia River Knife & Tool/Greg Lightfoot M1

I was a Lightfoot fanboi, but I was also in my mid teens, and $500+ was just way out of reach for me.

Even now, it's not out of reach exactly, but I would be afraid to actually use a custom knife.

The M1 was a high point for CRKT, but that is mostly due to Mr. Lightfoot knowing what he's doing, and the Tualatin boys not messing with it. It helps that mine is one of the ones where they got the HT right.

I know it man. The only reason I can deal with it is because most of the time I choke up and use the front of the handle as sort of a pseudo choil. I definitely regret not buying the XL though, don't think handle length would have been a problem on that one. :D
 
Sanrenmu 605. Wouldn't mind if they lengthened it by 1/2-3/4", ungraded steel/heat treat, milled the liners, & put in the quality they do for Spyderco Byrd.
At any rate, a surprisingly useful little knife.
 
Link & Dividend in M390? I definitely have seen people mourning the XHP era of Cold Steel, but do you know what I found in my new brick and mortar that I want to be brought back?
Cold Steel TRIPLE ACTION
P.S.: Did you know that CS also created an actual balisong called the arc angel? I am learning so much tonight haha
