What are some of your guys' favorite knives no longer in production? Mine have to be the Kershaw 1745, Bone Collector axis folder, and Spyderso street bowie
 
The Buck Strider collabs

Just bought a Michael Walker Gerber off EBay. It was the first nice folder I had and I lost it on a night that I ran my truck off the road. I don't think it was the greatest knife, but I miss it.
 
Original Al Mar SERE series.

Emerson HD-7

Cold Steel Ti-Lite in titanium handles.
 
Spyderco Manix lockback. The 2 is nice and all but I like a lockback.

I almost snagged a carbon fiber benchmade bob terzoula collab, never had a chance to handle the Buck/Strider ones!
 
Original Old Timer knives, made in the USA with 1095 blades. One of the most popular brands in the history of American knives, last produced in 2004.
 
The Benchmade 600, 650 and 970. Well-designed, well-executed knives that, while not perfect, are what I consider to be nearly ideal 'user' knives. They take apart and go back together easily. They are sturdy while maintaining a light weight.

Also the original aluminum handled, liner lock Microtech Socom. No annoying glassbreaker, no proprietary hardware, no obnoxious grip tape. Just a subdued matte all the way around the knife, with smaller, more understated screws, clip, and grip inserts. To this day the handles of the original Socoms are the best ergonomics I've experienced on a folder.
 
A.G. Russell DeerHunter. I never actually owned/used one, but its one I was want to pickup but for some reason never did, and now its gone.

Seemed like an excellent, low cost, light weight slicing machine (.06in thick, with a ffg :)).
 
Benchmade 42, Bradley mayhem, Emerson super roadhouse in satin. I guess the 4x series ended because bm's titanium casting molds wore out? The entire bradley line-up died all together, and the super roadhouse..who knows.

The Spyderco Sage 3 in G10 Blue. Even though the Sage 3 is still being made in CF, love the scales on the original.. feels like a different knife. from time to time you will see one come up on BF.
 
Kershaw RAM, TiLT, Groove (especially the tanto variant)

Spyderco Captain (One of the first knives to catch my eye, way back in the day), Centofante IV

And a recent acquisition: Byrd Cara Cara Rescue PE
