Well here's another example...how popular the Alpha Hunter fixed blade by Buck became.I handled one in a store and thought 'this was obsolete versus some older original Schrade models or the vintage Kershaw hunting knives (the 1030 model is a good example).Lo and behold the Gerber Metolius Series came out and offered a more versatile hunting knife...and it lasted only a handful of years with little popularity.Thankfully they dished out the Myth Series to keep up with that versatility.But even with the Myth line...you hear very little about them.
