We’ve had the S45VN Forest Green G-10 (Diamond Arc Pattern) flavors for the ParaMilitary2 and Para3 thus far as Sprint Runs.
How about new flavors of S45VN Forest Green G-10 (Diamond Arc Pattern) Sprint Runs for some or all of the following granted they’re not as popular as ParaMilitary2 and Para3 and there’s no shortage of S45VN:
Native5
Military
Yojimbo2
Shaman
Manix2
Lil’ Native
Native Chief

Yes I'd really love this. The new textured pattern really justifies the retail prices of Spyderco knives in my opinion. One thing that always makes me look at other companies is that their scales have some sort of design or pattern to them that distinguishes them aside from their blade and lock styles. I think it gives more value to the price of the knife.
Don't get me wrong, I love Spyderco G10, but having some sort of textured pattern really makes the knives more desirable, moreso than just different colored plain G10 scales.
Some may complain that these patterns can be rough on the pockets, but in my experience with the Para3, it's no more rough on my pocket than fresh G10...i think the DLT exclusive Manix 2 red G10 scales were much rougher on my pockets than the diamond arc pattern.
I'd love it on the Manix 2 if possible, please. :)
I like the idea, and I'm very sure we're gonna see S45VN all over the place with time.
Jojimbo2, Lil' Native are still missing in my collection. Chief as well, but I'm not quite sure I'd be able to give it the love it sure deserves.
Michael 48 Spydies, 44 different models, 43 different steels . Grail knife, still to be acquired: original Tuff by Ed SchemppFeel free to help me find one at a reasonable price...
I will definitely buy a Military, but probably not interested in other Golden models. S45VN in some Forest Green FRN Seki models like the Endura on the other hand... :D

CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
I love the diamond arc texture and would be excited to see it on other models and in other colors. Manix and Yojimbo would definitely be buys and I'd be curious how it works in something big and chamfered like the Shaman, though I'd really like it on something else slim and without jimping like the Smock. No issue with pocket shredding for me even before they smoothed out wonderfully around the edges with some use, and the grip and aesthetic are both excellent in my opinion. Also really pleased with S45vn so far!

There are other Spyderco knives with textured pattern G-10. I know I have a CruWear Manix and a Native (forum knife?) that have textured G-10.
