Spyders That Just MUST Return

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

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.

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

The ones you and "Standard78" both suggested are really nice :thumbsup: That TUFF model was one that kind of slipped through the cracks for me. I was undergoing a lot of high dollar medical stuff at that time and wasn't even able to buy a knife for about 14 months. I've said for the past 4 years now that I want one of those TUFF models and if they would do a Sprint Run in a newer/better blade steel then that would be A-OK with me :thumbsup:

Dude!! I don't know you but I can't help but believe that you and I must be related somehow. Everything on your list is a "HIGH FIVE" and a "SLAM DUNK" and I do have two more I could add to that unbelievably great list you put up. Also everything on your list are models I've loved for years. Now I would also add a C-60 Ayoob with CF scales ( or G-10 if need be) and either a HAP-40 or Cowry X blade. Also I would add an outdoor version of the old but great TEMPERANCE 1 model>> one of the very few Spyderco fixed blades also available in Spyderedge>> and it is a beast in SE too. But I would also want the TEMP 1 in SE & PE both>> and that would be another great Sprint Run for LC200N>> and they could even do a few in combo edge as good as that fixed blade is. It's still my favorite Spyderco fixed blade of all time and I've had 4 of them since 2004 ( 2 SE and 2 PE versions) when they were first released.
Yeah if you would add those two models to the great list you laid on us then I would even take that list over to the Spyderco.com forum where I also frequent. That list could garner some great support over there I can assure you. The older Spyders brought back in newer/better blade steels could be a marketing gem for Spyderco if they would step out in faith and do it. Thank you for such an excellent list of suggestions Brother :thumbsup::cool:

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.
