Popular support for another full-sized Jess Horn in super steel?

[DoctorAutomatic]

I love the Jess Horn models. By far my favorite Spydercos and my favorite overall across brands. So many Spyderco knives are too fat/tall in their profile for me, and from reading some other critics, I'm not alone. However, there's a few rare models that are more narrow, like the Jess Horn models, which is absolutely perfect in my opinion. Very capable, slim profile when closed, and has a classiness & elegance that so many others in the lineup don't have. I love the current baby horn but is anyone else yearning for a new full sized? I would be all over a full sized in a super steel and micarta scales! What are the odds of this happening soon?

This is very timely to say the least especially when I just launched a thread asking for the return or Sprint Run of the ROOKIE model. But what the heck the JESS HORN models are another old school icon I've always enjoyed.

I still have one of the Burgundy ZDP-189 models which I'm surprised didn't go over better than it did at that time. But it was competing against the Burgundy Caly JR ZDP and the Green ZDP Delica. But there were a lot of things I liked about the ZDP Burgundy Jess Horn model.

The Jess Horn would do really well with one of the supersteels. i always really loved that one that A.G. Russell had with the white Micarta handle.

How long of a blade does the full size have? I like the design but the current sprint is too small for me. The GB2 is a good slim profile design.

I believe the full sized model has a 3.1" blade. 90% sure but I'm guessing someone will be along shortly if that's not correct. Overall, I think it's a hair longer than the delica but a slimmer profile when closed.

I see two problems. First is that, for the past few years, Sal has been reluctant to use micarta due to some issues with shrinkage in the past. Second is that all Sprints of models that originally had unlined micarta handles have been weighted down with steel liners, which reduces their appeal considerably.
