I was "part" of designing a forum watch once. Really sheer chaos but it did result in a really nice watch. Sadly though, when all was said and done, I just didn't like it and it was just too huge on my little wrist. But I'm game, what the heck.... My choice would be the UKPK for broadest appeal (althought I really like the design) with a Wharnie blade in S45V steel (since I don't have anything in it) in a nice crimson or maroon G10. But color is least consideration for me as long as it's not yellow.

If the Leaf Jumper is ready, I'd kill for one. Leaf Green FRN, SPY27 steel.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

I'd like to be able to buy a DLC coated Province with Black Canvas Micarta scales similar to that used by Chris Reeve Knives on their Green Beret knife.

A Golden Colorado UKPK in G10 and SPY27.

Classic Spyderco leaf blade, easy to carry, very versatile, not too expensive.

Old model - Military, in a special - non S30V - steel, with a SE, and a special - non-black-G10 - handle color. And add a special logo, but a SE Military would be plenty special already.
Or the same thing but with the Chief. :)

I’m in as long as it’s lefty friendly.
Special steel and handle material is a bonus.

Here is my perfect knife: Ivory white polished G10 with a red Spyder inlay. SPY27 is fine. I'd prefer a UKPK, but a Li'l Native backlock would be okay.
I must say that something along these lines would be pretty cool.

how about a panchenko coin in titanium and lc200n with a spyderco hole in the blade, spyderedge, and the spyderco bug logo covering the back side?

edit: spy27 would also be cool, for obvious reasons.

Reissue of the zero grind Nilakka in AEB-L, OK to keep the tan G10 handle scales (close match to the AEB-L Urban Sprint) and it seems like a polished blade similar to that Sprint would fit.
2021 (or whatever year it happens) Forum graphics on the blade of course.

That would be an expensive knife though and I'm all for Forum knives being more affordable, so that members with smaller toy budgets won't be left out... In light of that a G10 handle UKPK, special steel Para3 LW or even a premium steel value line knife (all of course with non-standard handle colors) would be a nice way to go.

Magna Cut, Millie or shaman, option to get the forum name on there would be great. I also like the idea of a special color on the G10.

Thx y’all!
