Tip up, backlock military. I guess it wouldn't be a military anymore, but I can dream...

I may dream with you... ;)

It is a fine dream... As long as it is in fluted titanium. :D

I would love a Kapara or GB2 in this configuration. I really like both those knives but I'm not crazy about their scales, and I love micarta, so that would be a huge win. Cruwear is just a bonus!

I really hope we see a Kapara and/or GB2 exclusive/sprint at some point.

IDK about the Kapara, but I saw many photos of a GB2 with aftermarket micarta scales. Looks great!

A cru-carta Kapara would be great! But in that configuration for me it should get a liner- instead of the comp.lock

All of them! Probably not feasible, but I'd like to see as many models as possible offered in 3 standard varieties; g10/s30v (or s45vn), cruwear/micarta, and CF/s90v, then run whatever sprint offerings you want in other steels/scales. That is my dream.

No FRN? :o

Welcome to the forum! :)

Right, Micarta (and Cruwear) would fit the Tanto PM2 very well indeed. Clip non-coated would be nice too, but for me still not shiny but something like stonewashed (the clip).

Well, I wish I had seen this thread before replying to a 1 1/2yo thread. haha

Anyway, the Native has my vote! It would be my ideal knife. Been even considering buying a Native in s35vn (w/ liners) just so I could make my own. I have no idea what a cru-carta Native would cost from the factory, but making my own would be (at minimum) ~$165 for a linered G10 Native + ~$75 for custom micarta scales = $240. And that's only for s35vn. And no warranty.

Good point! Lightweight/frn definitely merits inclusion in this standard production lineup I'm dreaming of! Maybe frn/bd1n, g10/s30v, CF/S90V, and Cruwear/micarta. Frn sprints in premium steels. Then we have the salts to consider...

Initially I voted Military. Then I changed my vote to Native, then to the Chief (or was it the other way around?)... It just means I would like to see at least three different models in this config.
