What Spydie models were DISCONTINUED that in your humble opinion were great knives?

Here are two oldies that I really like:

G10 Police

Large Dyad
 
I think both sizes of the Calypso have been discontinued. I just hung up the phone with Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Got a Junior on the way. :D
 
At the top of my list, as always, is the Wegner Jr. I got a G-10 Police about a month ago and really like it as well.
 
The Wegner would have to be at the top of the list, followed by the Starmate.
 
The large Calypso (micarta scales, VG-10) is a favorite of mine. Sure wish they still made these!

Another one I would like to see would be the small Calypso with micarta scales, only with VG-10 or S30V this time :)

have you guys ever held the aluminum police model? they are so light and comfortable...and the golden tone the tuffram had...wow. that one gets my vote.
 
Not importing MOKI anymore:( . For the spyderco line, the J.D. Smith. But, hey they have a business to run! Not to complain, but they should be a little more definitive about the "rounded tip" issue with the 204. I watched the video, (not recently) and I remember Sal specifically talking about the tip. He PROBABLY said to use the flats for the tip, but that should really be emphasized.
 
Although I was never a big fan from a preformance standpoint. The "Q" was interesting from a collectors veiwpoint. It would have been cool, to have been able to buy a few differnt blade patterns(without the handle) to mix and match. I beleive this could still be a real winner if it was picked back up. The street value of these pieces have gone through the roof.
