I think this is an amazing design and while it is well executed and perfectly serviceable in its current form I would love to see variants. Let the voting commence!

Voted lil native but I would really like a crucarta Kapara.

Same. And I think the Amalgam would make an excellent platform for CruCarta.

I can't believe this thing is only $112. Is a silicon carbide stone (King Neo 800) sufficient for Rex45?

Less expensive than the standard S30V/FRN Native! Might be able to make some headway with the King, but diamond is probably the way to go given the high wear/hardness.

One of my favorite knives. I'm hoping DLT continues with the REX/White despite slow sales and does a REX45 PM2 with White G10 (diamond pattern like the OG Cruwear sprints if I'm getting greedy :) That'd be GPKnives with the REX/White combination. White with diamond milling (or other pattern) would ...

Voted Para 3. Would love to see a Manix 2. It already has the right (exposed liner) construction!

What about an Aqua Salt 2 with full tang construction and bolt on FRN scales?

It is rumoured that it will be the red g10 **drop point** s30v UKPK….

While I would prefer a different steel a red drop point UKPK will likely be in my future if HH has them.

I can tell you with reasonable certainty that there will be more HH UKPK. This is based on the new HH that I have received today. It's not one that they have done before... And that's all I can say at this time. :eyes Keeping my eyes peeled on this. Slept on the leaf blade and regret it. Hoping the...

Sign me up for one of each! Take my money.

OP - How are you planning to shape and heat treat the tools you are making? This may play a big factor in your choice.

CBBL for the win. Bar locks are great however the springs can (and do) fatigue and break. I have had my M2LW for several years and use and carry it often. It has gotten subtly smoother and easier to operate. Function and lockup are as secure and solid as day one. Just my .02¢.

Seems popular. Website got busy fast. I even got a “Bad Gateway” error. Don’t forget the associated sticker for an extra $0.95. https://www.gpknives.com/gpknives-exclusive-spyderco-native-5-frn-black-cpm-rex-45-knife-sticker-009.html https://www.gpknives.com/media/catalog/product/cache/339f82189d9e...

Caly 3.5 for sure. I like the old drop point Stretch and new straight spine but the lines of the Caly win out every time.

What Ladybug93 said: The sweet little Astute cries out for a Dragonfly-sized wire clip! Alas, there is no room for the barrel screw. There aren't really any good aftermarket options, either, that I know of. Tenacious clips from Lynch and MXG would fit, but I'm pretty sure they would overhang the en...

Hi Jim,

I asked for gray FRN, red trainer and a new steel. Any preferences on steel for the live blade. The trainer would be 420J2.

What are our options?
I'd go H1 over VG10. Cruwear or Magnacut seems a solid choice especially for a fixed blade.

Not sure how Magnacut didn't make the poll. I would love a standard or XL (3.5" blade) with G10 and a different steel. Magnacut, Cruwear, 4V, XHP, M4, or S90V.
