Slyz Bowie and any of the Jerry Hossom designed fixed blades! I love my Forester!

.

I’d love if they brought back the fluted Ti Native! CQI floating lockbar pin and 20CV would be icing on the cake!

 

It would be hard for me to pass on the slyz if they brought it back. +1

 

Or keep the g10 but use rust proof hardware and LC200N and it’s be a great hard use salt knife. Basically the Native salt treatment but keeping the g10

 

Chinook 1 and Tuff. Best knives Spyderco ever made

 

The Micarta handled Street Beat,

Spyderco Kumo (!!!)

The FRN Goddard.

 

There are a few classic models that really should be in the permanent lineup. I like the idea of a calling it a "retro series" as mentioned above. I think that alone would drive some sales from a marketing perspective.

Catcherman Salt in PE, SE, and CE FFG LC200N
Spyderhawk Salt in SE and PE FFG LC200N
Jester as a LW Salt model with PE and SE H1 or LC200N with glow in the dark FRN scales
Worker as a LW Salt model with PE, SE, and CE Saber ground LC200N or H1
Dodo in full SE and PE with CPM-CRUWEAR (tough and easier to sharpen on that curved blade profile) and Grey G10 scales

 

I paid $305 brand new from BladeHQ before they were discontinued

 

Hah, I sold mine for what would now be considered a rare bargain, so we've both made questionable choices
What did they originally retail for? I though it was $300, but I might be off.

 

I think like $299. BHQ at the time was little more expensive but my dealer of choice. This was in 2015.

 

I really wish id never sold my street beat. It seems like there is a demand for it through the forums. It often seems like once something goes away, then the demand comes into play.

I think the vg-10 SB wouldn't do great though. It would need to be something knife nuts are hungrier for; zdp-189, sb, hap40, etc.

I would also like a pe g10(or synthetic handle) Harpy and a 154/s90 pm2.

 

To this day the Street Beat is likely my favourite small city sized fixed blade. I don’t know why but on the side positions inside waistband carry configurations the knife is so comfortable to the point I will actually forget I’m carrying it.

The liteweight SB is in terms of practicality just as good. (except the micarta version has a better sheath) The Micarta SB is damn near custom knife in quality though and an absolute fixed blade treasure in my collection.

 

How about a new Salsa?

 

Tuff but in 4V and with a 3D machined CF scale and on bearings.

 

3v Schempp Tuff and the D2 Paramilitary

If they redo the Tuff I would like to see them fix the lockup issues caused by the overly short lockbar. It was actually the Tuff that first alerted me to the potential problems such a short lockbar can cause on a knife of that size.
