I would love to have a knife like this as a daily utility cutter. The blade design makes it a cake job to touch up and keep and even bevel from the tip to the base of the blade. It's a great design that allows for a slim enough tip to do some delicate work, yet maintain tip strength with a thinner blade, and have plenty of push cut/slice cut power depending on the edge you put and maintain on it.
Basically, I'd love to see Spyderco put out a knife like the CRKT Edgie (I don't care about the self-sharpening gimmick part), but keep the traditional rear lock, and use a high grade steel such as S90V, VG10, S7, D2, etc.
As much as I like the polymer grip panels, having the extra heft of the stainless steel grips, and an Emerson wave hook, would combine to be an ideal knife for my daily uses. Something about the heft of a Buck 110 just feels good in the hands while you work with it.
Tom Krein makes such a knife that's a fixed blade (which would be awesome) - but I do not have that kind of cash to blow with a recent surgery.
A Spyderco blend between this:
and this:
I'm droolin all over it. Now, if only Spyderco offered a custom shop, similar to Buck Knives, where you could blend different blade shapes and materials for a knife body this - I would be even further in the fiscal hole.
