Knives you wish weren't discontinued!

Emerson Mini A-100. That thing would fly off the shelves if it were back in production.
 
Busse TGLB!
I didn't get one beforehand, so now if I want one it's a gajillionty million dollars.
 
not a specific knife but I do wish Kai had not abandoned its MIM process they used on the Offset. I understand CPM steel probably made it a redundant technology but it seemed like a cool idea of which I would have liked to have seen a few more offerings.
 
^I wish they would have done a Boye collaboration before ditching MIM at least.

Yeah. The sintering process seemed to give the benefits of CPM type steels but what I really loved about it was the ability to create blade shapes that were unconventional. Now think about this. What if they could use that "green" blade steel putty from the MIM process and use it in a 3d printer? Then sinter the blade after printing it. The possibilities.
 
Kershaw OD-1. Just a great EDC knife. I'd buy 4 of them if I could. Easy to sharpen Sandvik, quick flipper action with no protrusion once opened. Just a great knife.

I had a ton of those! I'd love to see em come back.
 
Benchmade Ares, Benchmade Skirmish, and the Spyderco Lum Tanto Folder are all contenders, but my number one discontinued knife is the Spyderco Wegner.
 
Spent some time looking for this one. My only knife with a hole. It needed some tweaking, but with a bit of effort I was able to center the blade, strengthen the detent and made a custom back spacer & accent pivot washer. Almost too nice to carry now.

Very much agree. I had a Wegner and it was one hell of a great knife. I miss the Skirmish like crazy too.
