If the Stretch 2 XL were a Salt, and had much better build quality, it would be perfect!

If the K390 Endela were in G10 or contoured micarta scales it would be perfect.

Would like my Southard to be on phospor bronze washers.
Also would like my Canis in M4, K390 or similar.

If the Yojumbo had been 5" long it would have been perfect.
For me.
I know most people can't carry over 4" but the design of that knife is perfect for an even longer blade.

Endura 4, finger choil compression lock. Perhaps Magna-cut as well.

If the Para 3 had contoured scales and a clip positioned like the P3LW, it would have been perfect.

If the Para 3 LW had double washers to prevent horrible centering, it would have been perfect.

I love my Para 2s (especially the compression locks) but prefer larger blades if possible. I would have to say if the military model had a compression lock it would be a perfect choice.

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?
For me, the size of a Chaparral with the same thickness of blade or a thin high hollow grind.

If the Kapara had a back lock or liner lock, it would be perfect.
....

Exactly!

For me also a NON deep carry wire clip, but that would be not too hard to do aftermarket (perhaps even a Manix 2 LW clip would fit)
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

If the bolstered Schempp Persian had been made with a FFG blade and without a Boye dent, it would have been perfect.

If the stock standard Military with S30V blade and black G10 scales had a Maxamet blade and white G10 scales it would be much more betterer and more perfecterer. :spiral-eyes

Said in advance: Most of the following knives are almost perfect and great models already, but just for "joining the game":

- If the regular blade shape ffg V G10 Endura had serrations (shallow like on the Endela SE) it would be perfect
- If the RockJumper and Endela SE had a more "handlefilling" longer blade they´d both be perfect
- The Chaparral FRN actually IS perfect, but if it came stretched to Endela size (leaving everything else the same) it would be even "perfecter"...
- If the Manix 2 LW came in SE it would be perfect
- If the Tenacious S35VN LW came as a REAL lightweight (so almost linerless like the Millie) it would be perfect

Two more where I can just assume (never owned those models):

- If the Caribbean SE had a backlock or linerlock and FRN scales it would be perfect
- If the Siren came in FRN and SE it would be perfect
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

If Taichung models in general didn't have rattling lanyard tubes and stop pins, they would be perfect.
