Now that I’d get excited about. I’d have to feel the Shaman, the aesthetics don’t work otherwise. But I know I love Millie! How about a millie in Z-wear?

Literally every task with a knife as comfortable as this one. Food prep and dicing greens is the one thing it is really bad at.

I just love this knife. I had a few quite a while ago - including an orange G10 version - but sold them off because of poverty. Despite their signs of much use, they sold in seconds of course. Recently, I scored versions in M4 and 52100, and the old flame returned. The perfect size for a completely capable knife. I don't really carry much else and, if I do, I carry the Millie anyway.

Red G10 and a workable tool steel ... that's what I'd like to see next. That and more options for aftermarket scales. Though in truth all I actually want is some black replacements for the jade ones.

As to steel, even O1, A1 would be of great interest, and I'd LOVE to see what Spyderco can do with 1095. Something slightly softer, slightly tougher than what we are used to wanting. That 52100 is friendly to use. Sharpens on the kitchen steel, strops back to use on your jeans. Ideal. :)

Mostly all of them! It’s not so hot at trimming hangnails and cuticles, and the negative blade angle makes it a poor choice for kitchen prep. But otherwise it’s really great. Hence pairing it with something like the Urban or Ladybug gives you the spectrum of versatility needed for EDC, especially if you find yourself near those people.
