What discontinued Spydies would you buy if you still could? I'm not talking about inflated secondary market prices.

For me it would be: Barong, C83 Persian or a large Persian, Cruwear Military and Manix.
 
I snagged both cruwears at dealer price, if they come about again jump on them!

Wish I could grab the gray Para 2 in carpenters version of s90v, I sold that one like a dummy.

The g-10 TI millie in m4 was one I wish I had as well as
Carbon fiber s90v Para 2 or millie.

The orange PM2 forget the stesl but believe it was ctsxhp, best action of any Para 2 ever.

Chinook! Any version ,I love that knife.

The tuff! That ugly tank of a knife was amazing. It had to grow on me for awhile, when it finally did it was a great performer. Dummy moment again sold it.
 
Szabofly, Bifold, & Embassy.

Not that any of them are kosher up here anyway so I'm safe from the temptation of the secondary market.
 
Super Blue everything, particularly the Caly's. Have one, need another.

Really wish I got the HAP 40 endura for a fair price as well.
 
Rock lobster wish they'd do a sprint. In terms of new I can wait for the swayback I hope it sees the light of day in the near future.
 
I'll agree with the Barong and Khukuri. Luckily I have a couple of the Khukuri...

SuperHawk.

M4 RIL Military.
M4 Manix 2.

Original Mini-Manix.

Maybe the Michael Walker Klotzli version.

Dialex Junior.

Caly 3 G10.

K390 Mule Team.

20CP PM2.




Fortunately, I do have many models that I still use and enjoy thoroughly, which are now long disco'ed, so I should be thankful for that. :)
 
Citadel, I wish I had a black plain edge 92mm for EDC and about 8 others to sell these days. One was recently on the exchange and sold for like $450; it is maddenning to look on BladeHQ and see them still listed with their price (from 2012) of $148 brand new. The Embassy would be a close second, saw one in a store about a year ago selling for $350.

The Spyderhawk Salt is another cool one...wish I had been into knives back when these were in production.
 
I'm on the heavy hunt, for a Barong and rock lobster!

Only 2 Foliage Green, G10 Spydies, I don't own, Yet!

A gray G10 Jester..

I think I have everything else covered..

Great question and thread! I'd buy more than one Kopa for sure. More than one Caly 3 of every variety (G10, Super Blue and Damascus--heck even another CF before the prices went up) . And perhaps a UKPK in titanium.
 
M390 Millie. Shouldn't have sold it.

Maybe I'll pick up a KW exclusive CTS-204P Millie to make up for it.
 
I kinda wish I had bought a Tuff... But now I'm getting the chance to pick one up for a little over 200 and Im not doing it... I don't know.
 
Well, I missed the hap40 Delicas. Thought they would be around for awhile. Did manage to pick up a Dragonfly, so I'll live.
