My vote is for something not likely to get done...an LBK.
Navigator with either CF (smooth or textured) of G10 and deep carry wire clip.
Steel? No preference - whatever would make it appeal to majority of folks.
LBKs need a little more love and the Navigator handle has the best ergos of any of the LBKs - even better than the Dfly (IMHO...). This upgrade would make the perfect gents/office carry knife!!

Since we are wishing....
A tan CF handle, PE or fully serrated, Military model, in S90V blade steel (stainless blade) with OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM and either the start and end dates of the war or a scorpion or the crossed scimitars of their "Arch of Triumph" war monument in Baghdad, laser engraved on the blade under the writing.
...I know it would be a "niche" item and not everyone would be interested, but I certainly would. :)

:spyder: Centofante3 (C66PBK3), ParaMilitary2 (C81GPCMO), Endura4 (C10P), GrassHopper (C138P), Military (C36GPCMO), Perrin PPT (C135GP), Squeak (C154PBK), Dragonfly 2 Salt (C28PYL2), Military M390 CF (C36CFM390P), R (C67GF), ParaMilitary2 CTS-XHP (C81GPOR2), Tuff (C151GTIP), Ladybug & Perrin Street Bowie (FB04PBB)being the newest.
Sal showed the prototype of the Caly jr. micarta this year in amsterdam, but I'm more exited about the Big Calypso sprint with G-10-scales.Donut wrote:It has been mentioned that a Micarta sprint is in the works.
BTW: The Caly jr. sprint was clipless.

Wow!! I haven't even heard anyone even mention this great old classic in quite some time. Hey Brother I loved the C-25 and it's big brother the C-50 both. That earlier Centofante model is one of the older classics from an era gone way by>> but I would sure like to see a C-25 or C-50 in one of the supersteels with G-10 scales. Man you hit that one on the nail head.jujigatame wrote:C25 with plain scales (no rubber inserts or secondary lock) made of polished micarta, Ti standoffs, Mnandi style clip, and that pointy flat ground blade done in XHP.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!

That sucks on the Caly Jr being clipless. I'm glad to hear about the Calypso, that's like a dream knife for me.MarcusH wrote:Sal showed the prototype of the Caly jr. micarta this year in amsterdam, but I'm more exited about the Big Calypso sprint with G-10-scales.

Or, given that Mr Blonde didn't post photos of it in his Amsterdam show report, it may just be an early concept piece. Features sometimes get changed/added between the prototype and production stages and that happen even more often between the concept model and production stages.Donut wrote:That sucks on the Caly Jr being clipless.
