They already made an almite Cricket but it wasn't very thin. In fact, it was probably as thick as two of the current Crickets put together:

While thinking about the design ideas I had, i realized that a tip up wire clip may prevent a lanyard hole. I use a lanyard on my current cricket and would probably prefer to retain that option, even if the clip had to be tip down only. How do others feel about clip vs lanyard hole?

Although on my caly/ukpk/urban I just put the lanyard under the wire clip.

Rockerarm, I got to tell you I love that Grey, the Burgundy looks really good too, but I'm partial on the Green.

That's a nice green. I also dig the gray. Thanks for the drawings.

I'm on board. Well I'm always on board for crickets. It truly is a great knife and I'm quite sure sooner or later Sal will take a stab at it.
