Well Brad Southard was one of my top fav custom makers, so why not another, with Todd Rexford :p [I know he has a boker collab, not sure if they are able to work with others?]. I know the thought of a Kbit had been floating around, back and forth [albeit it may not be the best given it is a niche market. I suppose a Ti and SS variations could come out, but given his style of Ti [with cool anno!] + Cf, I know people will voice opposition due to price. Albeit I would love to see/have one!], another WT collab would be nice in that respect.

And with Strider, I understand the appeal, but just wondering what would be the "new"/different design usage? a change in HT of the blade? the CC/lego style handles? Just trying to imagine a design from them that you would like them to collaborate upon [well i guess besides a brand new one, but most collabs tend to be creating a new design from the custom makers previous design]. Not trying to knock it down, I am just filling a blank when trying to imagine a collaborate work between the two.

My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.

I would like to see a custom collaboration with Dutch maker Dirk de Wit, in all fairness probably the best folding knife maker we have in the Netherlands.
Here is an example of his work:

I'd like to see a collaboration between Medford and Sal because I think they're they're too of the coolest knife makers to watch and listen to. Their thought processes, their demeanor and the knives they think up are all some of my favorites. Plus I think a stout folder I could actually afford may be nice too.
...I have no knives I keep in a safe but there are one or two that don't leave the house...

Dirk does make some beautiful knives. I really like his pocket clips on some of his designs

RJ Martin's flippers are interesting.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Another Southard maybe loosely based off the Downing this time.

Or maybe a Ray Laconico http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showt ... an-One-off
