I am really happy that they have something that will port over to a straight razor this year. I've been waiting for that.

I'm with you on that!
I have a dream where we can get an electronic "Universal Encyclopedia of All Knives Ever Produced", that lists literally EVERY knife EVER made in a human factory (as well as PRE Industrial Hand Made Knives), and then, a matter assembler able to produce each and every one of them we wanted.

I totally agree with your statement..... I own enough late models, Caly Jr. included :spyder:
I'm always hoping to see a lefty cricket whenever a new catalogue comes out. It's the only non-ambidextrous spydie knife that really grabs me. I don't know about other lefties out there, but I'd pay handsomely for a sprint run lefty cricket, in whatever scale they make it with. Probably buy several, just in case of loss/destruction of such a rare gem.
It's also exciting to think of new designs in the Sage line that might be coming down the pike.
To the best of my knowledge Worker was never made with G10 scales, most likely the knife has liners. Cost of new tooling, new CNC programing need to be absorbed by fairly small run of knives.
BTW, every year we are getting surprised by cost of new knives, but somehow they are getting sold.

I would love to see Titanium RIL Native 5 and I'd say that it would probably be my dream knife. I'm thinking Sage 2 construction but give it the Native 5 blade and handle profile and voila! That would be a perfect EDC spydie in my book. Or maybe a CF compression lock Native 5? That would also be a contender for Greatest EDC Ever!

A compression lock Native 5 would go directly into my pocket, and probably wouldn't ever be deposed. I like the lockback, it's full-time in my pocket, but a compression lock would be sweet. The minor points it would lose for lack of lefty-friendliness (not that it's all that unfriendly, just a little) would be more than offset by the ease of cleaning and the smoothness inherent to the compression lock.

I am not sure about compression lock. I was really looking forward dark green 204P Para2, but found compression lock a little more difficult to operate than midlock. probably this is just a matter of habit. Titanium RIL, especially, if opposite scale will be G10 (dark green :p :p) or fluted Ti can be interesting. Flat metal scales I found too slippery, even dangerous, if the hand get wet.
