Sharpening choil, even if it's just a small one so your not running your stone across that flat edge that comes on the majority of Spyderco's.

I'd like to see something in the m390/20cv/204p family in the Native 5 LW or Manix 2 LW.

Also, if we're talking kitchen knives: can any of the Japanese foundries do something in HAP40? You could even go outside the standard kitchen knives and offer a more quintessentially Japanese tool. I only know santokus, but I know there are other designs...

I personally would like to see the Manix 2 LW in S30V. A happy medium. Something better than BD1, but not as hard as a S90v or S110v for those of us that aren't sharpening masters.

Another Bob Lum Chinese folder mid way in size between the Lil’ and the “standard” (not the larger one). About the size of a Delica. Lum’s Chinese folders have found a permanent place in my idea of aesthetic designs that combine beauty and utility. A Tai Chung made (fitting, no?) S30V or equivalent, basic G-10 would be the cat’s pajamas. (Boss, cool, bad, awesome, radical, sublime…)

I have been busy so this thread is new to me. I would love to see:

1. More Urban Sprints
2. More Manix 2 back locks (LW, XL,, new steels, new colors, etc.)
3. More Caly3 and 3.5 offerings that I can actually afford. (A bonus would be removal of the choil, but I am okay with it)

I would like to see Carpenter's XHP steel as the standard for at least one model, if availability and profit potential permits.

I would love to see a Clipitool Pro with CTS BD 1 N and gray G 10 scales. Would be willing to pay the difference for premium materials.
Scales for the Mule in different colors of G10. Maybe Carbon Fiber.
The Terzuola Starmate back in production.
Or maybe treatment for my Spyderco obsession/addiction!

I know it will never happen, but a hap40 lil temp3.

And different color palette for the digi camos. Blue/ grey camo would look so nice.

More CTS-XHP and less CPM-S30V.
More clip designs, to suit the handle better, some clips just don't work.

Big knives in interesting steels!
Maxamet Manix 2 XL!
HAP40 Calypso!
Large Caribbeans!
That Native Chief thing!
K390 Pattada!
I'd have to open my wallet for a k390 pattada. Or make a sprint vanadis 10 pattada. That'd be pretty sweet.

I personally like no sharpening choils. It's easy enough to add one if you want one.

I agree with you there! Different color scheme and I'd be sold on a PM2/PM3 camo. Something about the current version just doesn't appeal to me

I would like to see HAP72 (at least HAP50) make an appearance in a sprint run.

I would like to see more cruwear and even 3V in models that don't epitomize the perfect slicer (capable of at least some hard use).

I would like to see Carpenter's XHP steel as the standard for at least one model, if availability and profit potential permits.

I would like to see a MILITARY 2.... Very similarly designed, but with a tip-up carry option. Maybe with thicker full SS liners, open construction, a slightly more robust pivot, and a compression or back lock (although I am FINE with liner and frame locks). And a thicker stop pin depending on the lock.

I would like to see Shaman sprint runs... One toughness steel and one superior edge retention steel.

I would like to see another sprint for the Manix 2 XL.

Just my opinions lol, reading my post I sound pretty demanding haha
Spyderco's knives aren't thinly ground. They're usually a pretty good compromise for those who want knives to cut and dummies who don't know what a knife is for and that many other tools handle things other than cutting better. Oh, and there are already knives made by other companies that don't cut very well selling for a premium...
