- a Caly 3 with FRN and Delica-like liners
- an original large and small Terzuola in aluminum with backlocks instead of linerlocks
- FRN Worker
- titanium UKPK with a lock (there are subtle differences from these to Calys that I like better)
- best wishes, Jazz.

-Centofante 4, s110v blade with a higher hollow grind, drilled for right hand tip up only, both sides of the handle have the nice design on it instead of just the non clip side.

-FRN Native with CPM M4 steel, bi directional pattern like on the caly jr, dark gray frn, wire clip.

-Caly Jr with super blue steel, non laminated, Burgundy scales.

I'd like to see a 20CP Military and Manix 2, and a ZDP Centofante 4.

Oh, and fix the compression lock issues on the Vesuvius and bring it back in ZDP with Brittish racing green G10.

I've imagined a "dirty" Chaparral, with more agressive jimping, some worn looking green linen or canvas micarta, and m4 or maybe cru-wear steel.

Would also love to see a left hand compression lock, preferably P2 :) Also, would an integral frame/compression lock be possible???

Not likely, but a guy can dream right?

Right now I'm feeling Stretch 2, but with a modified spine as mentioned in a previous post of mine. ZDP or Super Blue. Carbon Fiber.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

+1 on Lil' Temp with wire clip. Make the steel 3V or Cruware. The original production model had a blade length of 3 1/4" - stretch that to 3 1/2" and it will be perfect.

With the Stretch being my most carried and used folder, I'm all for any version of the knife I can get.

I've seen pictures of the Stretch custom ground to a modified spine on bladeforums, it's sexier and easier on the eye for the masses. I think it would be a hit.

on second thought this doesn't qualify as a sprint at all I think, not being an existing model...

But we established, this can't be a Sprint as it's a commissioned piece, so, you're fine. ;)
