Knives you wish they still made

I wish Case would do the red bone like they did in the 60's and 70's.
 
Another vote for the AFCK in any configuration. I have one that is my weekend EDC and several that are
safe queens/backups. Never liked a tactical design more than this one.
 
ZT0500 MUDD....starting getting into knives after they were disco'd and it puts a knot in my gut every time I think about it.
Also bummed that the Kershaw RAM is being done away with. (I hadn't realized I was such a fan of the Hawk boys 'til now)!
Kershaw's Speed/Spec Bump in it's various configurations, too. A quirky knife, but I've found it useful....it'd just be nice to know I could get another one
if I ever happen to kill mine.
I'd like to see Case bring back the large Sodbuster in CV.
 
Benchmade all the AFCK and Skirmish variations

Spyderco ATR, Aqua Salt, G10 Delica

Camillus Dominator

For me...

Benchmade Skirmish and Rukus, Cuda Maxx (7"&9" models), Becker Brute (had a new one early in my knife education, but sold it).

Finally, the Gerber Gators, I've been buying them every chance I get from you know where. The nice ones with ATS-34 steel, made in Portland, OR.

Benchmade Mini AFCK. Great little pocket soldier.

Benchmade Ares. Can't believe they discontinued that model. It's still very popular.

Microtech Mini Socom. Great knife. Both the blade and liner lock are made from 154CM.

Microtech Dragonfly. The $90 version of the Tachyon. The guy that designed it, left MT and tried making his own chinese $15 knock-off. It failed.
 
Funny, but in my limited collection of factory knives, I have an original plain edge AFCK in ATS34, a first run Tigershark, and original pre-production Osborne Axis lock folder, an early 70's forged L6 Gerber Mk II and a Blackjack Warner-Moran Rio Grande. The only know that I can think of would be an L6 Mark I. Mine got stolen in 1980 and by the time I replaced it, they had gone over to stainless. If SOG doesn't make their original blued carbon steel "bowie" model anymore that would be a good one to bring back.
 
Yet another vote for the AFCK. And the Al Mar Shadow. I got into knives too late to have a shot at owning one.
