Realistic dream knives?

Donut · #41

The street price of the M4 Military was kind of high.

I want more Orange G-10. How about a Native in XHP?

One of my biggest wants is a FFG 154cm Manix 2. They made some as part of the pre-production run, but they're pretty rare. I saw one for sale on USN, but it went for $225ish. Maybe I should have jumped on it. =\

Spyderco, please bring back old heavy Manix C95 with midlock maybe with CTS-204P steel and dark green handles... or just S30 / black G10 and I'll be in heaven :)

"Thank You" :)

Roman, I think I could say Native with clear plastic scales and a KFC butter knife blade and you would be in. :)

Love the look of Gary Graley's customized CF Stretch, so the simplest dream knife for me would be an FRN VG-10 Stretch that "PE Dyad" looking blade shape and either a dark blue (like the 2003 Forum Native III) or tan (like the OIF/OEF C41 Natives) FRN handle. Next step up would be one using a VG-10 blade of that shape in the CF Stretch chassis, with brown G-10 scales like the Sprint Calypso, only 2X thick and polished like the G-10 on the red Sprint Persian.

A polished G10 Stretch would be pretty nice. I'd be down for that.

Bill Moran lightweight in laminate Super Blue or White steel.

Not a knife, however...

Next I would like to see a double sided Sharpmaker Deluxe unit with four inclusive angles: 40, 30, 24 and 20 degrees. This kit would come with Diamond, medium, fine and ultra fine stones standard. The reason for the 24 degree angle would be for sharpening scandi ground blades in the normal "V" rod position instead of using the slots on the bottom which would not be there.

Sage 1.5: Domino-esque CF scale, no liner, skeletonized titanium framelock, S30V, LSCF inserts in the skeletonization holes, lanyard hole in standoff, and maybe with a flipper.

Simple and doable. Stretch in blue G10, ZDP preferred but VG10 will do I'll just swap in. Moved to Taiwan or Golden and steel options open up. Perhaps wilder Stretch builds, Taiwan can better accommodate.

I'm with Roman and Paul's ideas cuz I'd like to see more Stretch n N5's.

Another vote for a G10 Stretch, any color would be fine! I'm very excited to see the new SB sprint come out, and later the Damascus sprints (those two will be beautiful I bet!).

Two others I would like to see would be a black G10/black DLC Dragonfly and a bolstered Caly 3.5 with some snazzy scales (surprise me with a metal but I do love Damascus!). Now I know they've only done a Caly 3 with bolsters, but I hope that doing a 3.5 with them would be very doable. Nice clean bolsters too, just like the Caly 3 Damascus, no screw holes like the Sage 4.

Now if I can get unrealistic, make it a Caly 4!! Maybe with a compression or other type of fast one-handed opening lock? Not that's it hard to operate them now one-handed with the back locks.

A day late & a dollar short:

I saw my first Kiwi years ago at a local knife store. It was a beautiful knife, but it didn't appeal to me at the time.
Now when they are no longer being made, I want one. The newer Kiwi doesn't appeal to me. I saw one advertised
for sale on the Internet a few months ago...its lasted maybe 10 seconds. Everytime I visit...I check out the Deacon's
collection of Kiwis and dream. His custom Kiwi's are some of the most beautiful knives I have ever seen.

Caly 3.5 with titanium bolsters, titanium liners with maroon micarta scales and some sort of real damascus

Would it be "Spyderco, the knives dreams are made of" or "Spyderco, the dreams knives are made of" ? Anyway a CF Para 2 with K390 would be nice. I'm still dreaming of an S90V Para. Sad that we are resigned to carry some of our favorite knives on weekends only.
