Blue G10 Manix 2 FFG. Missed out on that one.

The benchmade 705. I had two, cause 2 is 1 and 1 is ...well you know. I love the size, the 710 is just to big for EDC to me. The little 705 just disappears clipped to my pocket. Of course my 2 is one strategy came into play when I lost one.

Luckily it was the one the the off center blade. I misplaced the remaining one for months. I got a mini grip to fill the hole that was left but I like the 705 blade shape better than the sheepsfoot mini grip.

Thank goodness I found it a couple weeks ago!!! I'm almost afraid to carry it. I know they make a model that was supposed to replace it but it didn't need replacing and I don't care for what looks like a slick handle.



tldl: benchmade 705.

Spyderco Dodo and Chinook 1

The dodo is useless to me, except at work where it completes me. I had the for sight to get 2 before the price shot up to 300 bucks!!

I am at a loss as to why they discontinued the chinook.

You beat me! Should have read the whole thread. I'm still reading.

Benchmade 806 in D2 steel with the axis lock. I understand the love people have for the liner lock, but I do find personally that the axis lock is superior. When compared to the 710 it's hard to understand why you would put such a large bannanna in your pocket, but when held in hand the 806 is far more comfortable for my large hand. AFCK all the way. The knifeworks exclusive 806-1101 may not have sold as fast as bench made hoped, but that was just one of many of those blue and black G-10 exclusives they released for knifeworks. It makes me sad because I don't believe that was an accurate register of how much demand is out there for the 806. I have both, and by far I prefer the ergo's on the original D2 with the thinner scales.

Benchmade 705. Was my first good pocket knife. Lost the dang thing. The newer 707 has aluminum �� handles.

Most folks liked the 710. Maybe they discontinued it due to lack of interest. We all should form a support group!

Spyderco Rock Salt...really want one, but the only store that still has it in my country asks $400 for it.
I don't wanna risk paying it since we might see it re-released some day. Who knows?

Definitely the ZT 0600 and the Benchmade Skirmish. I'm not surprised that ZT is discontinuing the 0560 and 0561 -- with the 0562 and 0562CF, they've been pushed aside -- but I think it's too bad. The 0600 is one that needs to be resurrected. I don't know if the 0801CF was ever a regular release, but that's another one I'd like a chance at. Lastly, the Kershaw Tilt.

REKAT SIFU (top knife) because it has grooves for all five fingers...

 

[AntDog]

I loved the Sifu, but the locks on 2 of mine didn't work. Somebody should bring back that design with a dependable lock. (I'm looking at you Cold Steel...)
