Straight Ti is perfect for me, I'm not scared of the all-metal handles like the rest of you fellows are. :D

I think I'd have to get one, wouldn't matter much if it was all Ti or Ti/G-10. It'll get fairly spendy if it is Ti and carbon fibre.

I would be in for a beadblasted, full Ti Millie PE. Although the extra grippy G10 on a 1/2 n 1/2 combo would also be cool.

Titanium Para with integral compression lock would be cool, but please don't take the best lock on the market off one of the best folders on the market and make it another framelock.

I have been hoping that Sal would finally see the light . If this news is correct another righty only type knife of this type makes little sense exept economic to me . The Military for those in the field should be completely ambi in my opinion .Time saves lives . Regards MG2

I generally do not like titanium liners, since they wear out way faster than the Steel ones. Also FG is overdone to the point where I don't ever want to get anything in FG again. There are a lot of other colors Spyderco could use for their G-10.

I like the idea of full titanium and while I agree with Vivi that the liner lock on the Millie is one of the best, I really like the idea of a frame version. I think on a Ti Millie, it would be very fitting.

Hey, whats wrong with Foliage Green? :D

However, I am not so sure of any G10/Ti version.

I know I would buy a full Ti version. Not so sure about a combo handled version.

What am I saying?? OK, Ok, I might not like it as much, but I would probably still buy it. :D

I hope this project works out, it's always nice to see another Spydie I can do without.

Trying to picture what I would make........

Ti Framelock, deep tip up carry,
other side Micarta or CF with a nice S90v pain blade
with xtra large bronze washers for butter smooth operation.

Maybe an xtra set of tapped clip holes.
For those who do not want super deep carry.....

Just some thoughts......

That should do it.

Wished I would have ended up designing knife's for a living...... :rolleyes:

More S90v & CF please.......

Awesome! If the handle is all titanium without any g-10 crap on it I'll be sure to buy at least two. Any more details about the knife or when it might be available?

I would buy one full ti or ti/G-10 regardless...

But I would prefer ti/G-10. Full ti handles just don't provide the grip I like especially after owning multiple Strider SnGs and an SMF. Ti/G-10 is the utilmate compromise between strength and tactile ergos IMHO....
