Question says it. Not asking for a commitment, just curious if there is ANY chance this could happen?

Anyone else in??

We have nothing planned, but anything is possible.

After having used my Tom Krein custom in CPM M4 for over a year I am a huge fan of the steel. I would love to see it in a Spyderco folder, especially the Millie or Para.

M4 Mule is currently ridding horizontally on my belt. A CF/M4 para maybe? If I can't get one production I might have to get some scales made.... which would suck cause I don't know if anyone can do the liner inlays and stuff.....

While I know I'd love the CF handles, if it helps keep the cost down I'd be more than happy with G10.

I could do either. But I'd love a pair of a CF millie and para. :D

I'd love most any Spyderco in M4. Keeping the cost down as much as possible would be nice, but I'd be forced to buy one anyway even if it's expensive.It's really a very impressive steel. Joe

A Para-Military with Carbon Fiber and M4 steel coupled with tip-up carry. This would be an ideal EDC for restricted Colorado carry laws. ;)

Those are my thoughts exactly. I just blew a llot of my knife budget in the last 2 weeks on a Police G-10 that is off to Tom Krein for a pointier tip and a Superhawk, so the cheaper the better. However, I just know an M4 folder will be real pricy, but after using the steel a lot for over a year it will be worth every penny.

Mike, It's really good to see you posting here again.

The first time I sharpened an M4 bladed knife to my desired angle ( below 20 degrees inclusive) and got to the final strop with diamond powder on a barbers leather strop I was hooked. Joe

Thanks for the welcome back, Joe! I was really busy with work and recently had been down in the dumps about needing back surgery, but I am back to being hooked on knives again and much happier.

My M4 Krein Ultimate Caper takes a spooky sharp edge at very thin angles, and is strong enough to not roll, it doesn't chip out, and it holds the edge a very long time. It is a great knife steel. It just plain gets sharper than any other steel I have (even the 52100 Mule) and holds that edge commendably, the only issue with it is it needs to be wiped down to keep the rust away. A blade coating should help with that.

Well my D2 Para hasn't got out my pocket in 6 months. I know now that only another Para could replace it. I'm still hoping an M4 version could take its place some day!

Why not ask for a dlc finish and carbon fiber scales with tritium inserts while you're at it?? :) lol I'll take 2.. Better make it 3... While were at it I'd also like mine to be a mid back lock... :) Can I get a screwdriver and can opener and an awl in the package? hahaha Anything is possible and a guy has to have some dreams... lolol :)

I'd certainly be up for any clipit in M4. The Para would be lovely. : )
