Give us a sketch or a mockup of what you're thinking...
😂 give me five minutes to finish eating this crayon and I’ll get started.

You shouldn't eat crayons raw. They're best melted into water (the brown ones at least) and then you have a nice cuppa coffee. Melt a white one in, if you like cream and sugar.

I like the bowie-blade-on-manix idea (and sketch!). More than one blade shape on one of Spyderco's most popular models makes sense to me. And the Bowie blade is a perpetual crowd pleaser.*

(*Even though what is known as the Bowie blade, is unlikely what Jim Bowie's famous Sandbar knife actually looked like.)
Your wisdom knows no bounds! I’m English so have a natural suspicion of any warm beverage that doesn’t come out of either a teabag or a Bovril tub, but I could get behind a nice tan crayon melted into a pot full of hot water with an amusing tea cosy on top. It would go beautifully with some chocolate Hobnobs made of play dough.

Regarding a Bowie Manix 2 xl I agree that it would be more aesthetically pleasing if the deployment hole could be integrated into a more authentic flat top. I’ve been eyeing the Respect Bowie covetously but I’d be in the same boat as Pete (of Cedric and Ada youtube fame) in that I’d have to “find” uses for it in my house or run the risk of getting arrested carrying it to work.

Yeah, but just think of the odd places basing a knife on this might go:

I’d buy one just for posterity, especially if it had a big lightning bolt worked into its design. If I hadn’t already eaten all my crayons I’d be tempted to draw one out just for fun.
