If model _____ had been ___ it would have been perfect
Thought this might be fun- what model, if you could have changed a few things like lock, screw construction,or size, would have been perfect to you?
In the spirit of the question, the Pingo with a lock back and the size of the Delica, would have been a Mt Rushmore EDC for me. Who else has one?

Mantra 1 on PB washers sans flipper would have been perfect in my eyes...
So it goes.

Manix 2 lightweight/
Had been made with chamferred or rounded handle edges.
Police 4 lightweight/
Had been given a boye dent and lanyard hole.
Endura 4, pacific salt/
Had more of a forward finger guard.
Im sure theres more stuff but these are the ones off of the top of my head. None of them are deal breakers but I would prefer a slightly modified design on some spydies.

If the Gayle Bradley 1 had a more prominent hook at the front of the finger choil it would have been perfect and I would own one.
If the Para 2 handle was reshaped so the butt end didn't have a hook like the Shaman (so it would accommodate larger hands) it would be perfect.
If the Autonomy 1 had a bayonet style blade shape like the sketch I did it would be so perfect.
I could probably list a dozen that have "choils" on the heel of the blade that I'd never buy that would at least be better for me without them.

If the Kapara had a back lock or liner lock, it would be perfect.
Too little to pinch with slippery scales for a compression lock.

Re: If model _____ had been ___ it would have been perfect
If Mule knives put 4.5-5 inch blade on the same type handle and produced as a finished product, this would be great. Even if this was not all the newest top of the line steels, but a standard production fixed blade.
You would still have the option of using all the Mule handles in a great camping/allaround knife.
Spyderco should start with Magnacut on 63 +/-0.5 HRC and a kydex sheet (great for us lefties too).
MSRP 200-250 and I take it right away.
Edit: with the same design of the blade

If all g10 scales were chamfered that’d be great

If the Nilakka had been something with huge edge strength and stability like rex 45, that would have been super.
I like using my brain around people smarter than myself.
