Just for fun/daydreaming. I guess there's the chance some could gain steam.

Cruwear PM2 and I'd be ok if some of the run were serrated. ;) Navy blue G10.

Oh and "rust-proof" PM2 Salt with yellow G10. Some of these serrated as well.

The C36 Military with a full flat ground plain edge Sheepfoot blade in Cru-Wear.
Just for a different but very useable blade option in an already great knife model. :)

My pick is a full flat ground Ladybug3 with g10 and torx screws not pins. Don't care what steel, don't care what color g10. No bolsters!

No bolsters?! Surely this must be a typo. :p

My personal choice would be for another C22 Michael Walker Sprint. I don't care what type of steel or handle material. I just know I'd buy a lot of these--probably at least four or five. :D Make them available in either PE or SE and I'd be the happiest man in the world. :)

Polished or even satin bolsters get scratched up and look terrible after awhile. I know lots of people like bolsters though. But I no likey :p

let me riff on that thought...

G10 and screw together, with no bolsters (like the Jester sprint) Manbug, tan or brown G10 scales and any high performance non-stainless in laminate or solid stock (52100, Blue Super, CruWear, etc.), at near max RC for that alloy.

Bolsters add too much weight for my taste and are pretty much cosmetic with modern construction methods/materials.

Realistically...meaning not asking for something that never existed or that would require a completely new design to make a reality, asking for knives with different locks than they were ever made with, exotic unobtanium type materials, or requests that are so specific that only the person asking for it would buy one, etc etc...

1. Centofante 4 - Superblue or ZDP - British Racing Green scales or the previously used dark blue or burgundy red

2. Kiwi 4 - Superblue or ZDP - I'd love to see rounded/polished G10 scales and I'd be just fine with that, but would also love to see bolsters and all the other fancy inlays that the previous Kiwi had, and would even be interested in an all stainless version but I REALLY think above all else this model really really really just needs to be rounded and polished..the blocky G10 is really taking away from how amazing this design is. Heck I'd be happy with VG10 if the handle was just rounded and polished G10. That said, if they did rounded and polished carbon fiber with Superblue steel and Ti bolsters...oh my.

3. Ulize - Full SE. Not much else I'd ask for in this one, just give it a full set of teeth.

4. Manbug - Sheepsfoot/wharnie blade - H1/SE or VG10/ZDP PE - Not sure this qualifies as a sprint and it seems to be somewhat in the making since Sal himself has spoken of interest in it and has asked for some input on the design.

5. This one is extra credit, and probably never going to happen, but I would love to see a new grind for all of the H1 knives. At least make them higher hollow grinds so they wedge less. This would open up my interest in a lot of those knives. I just can't live with those low hollow/saber grinds after having experienced what SE can do on a nice FFG blade.

I understand. No worries here. :) I'll still take one of those C22's, though. :D

First colab of Spyderco, the Turzuola.
Military style nested liner lock, G10 handles.
Either full Spyderedge (preferably of course) or plain edge.
Like any Spydie won't be able to buy it if it should ever came out, but a man has got to dream right? ;)
