As the title would indicate. What long disco'd Spydie was ahead of it's time and needs to be re-intro'd? I'm going to have to go with the Ayoob. Killer ergos. Nowadays almost impossible to find. Needs to be re-intro'd with production taking place out of Sal's excellent Taiwan shop. SS liners and those killer weave texture CF scales. Tip down (naturally) as the Ayoob benefits greatly from the ability to do Spyder drop blade deployments. The Ayoob, in it's original configuration, was almost perfect (fully flat ground and it basically WOULD have been). The problem was there simply wasn't enough made, as evidenced by the sheer LACK of them on the market. And since sprint runs have to be different from the original runs (to protect the collector market), these minor tweaks wouldn't be a big deal. Street price 130 to 145. And this time around Mas Ayoob could do some promo spots on cable channels. He's on PDTV all the time. Plus the Guns and Ammo show. Ted Nugent doesn't wipe his butt without plugging some kind of product on TV. I swear. Uncle Teddy is gonna be on a box of Wheaties holding a Stihl Chainsaw and wearing a Bear Bow hat before long. Mas could light up cable TV with spots for this up-and-coming re-intro of his "legendary" folding collaboration Spyderco knife.

What say you guys? What model? The Worker? The old "icepick" Centofante? The Jess Horn?

IMO you've already nailed it, the Ayoob must return someday. Personally I'd love to see it sport a FFG and G10 scales in both plain edge and SE.
Also I'd hope the mighty C44 Dyad is not forgotten.

lum tanto with ball bearing lock?
Ti salsa without a cobra hood?
mini police necklace?
 
C27 Horn, sans clip, with interior mammoth ivory scales would be my top choice, and it's always a good time for another run of FRN Calypso Jrs. :D

I'd love to see the Renegade with a compression lock, M4 blade steel, and a deep wire clip!
 
Original large calypso, micarta scales, full serrations. I really hate i missed grabbing one of those when i bought my small, plain.
