Would anyone else like to see spyderco offering more knives with m4 steel? There really isn't much available other than the Bradley knives. I bought the GB and owned it for a month but never ended up using it. Blade shape was all wrong for my uses and was uncomfortable to carry IWB. I still kind of miss the build quality and steel, but I won't replace it because I know it won't get used. I would however LOVE to see some other spydercos being offered in this steel. Paramilitary 2 and military would both be at the top of the list. Endura and delica too! Pretty much anything! So come on spyderco, give me some m4!!

I would love an M4 PM2. It would definitely be highly sought after. Not holding my breath for an M4 Military since that one has already been done.

Agreed, M4 is my favourite steel and would love to see more. I would be extremely happy with an M4 chaparral which will never happen. And a much more realistic request would be for the Phil Wilson bird and trout to be M4 whenever it comes out!

I agree. Don't really care what knife it comes in as long as I like the knife. I would really love a standard production Military in M4.

I haven't experienced M4 yet and I really want to. Everything I hear is that it's a great steel. I would love a PM2 or Native with it.

I have the Air, the Bradley Folder and a Manix2 sprint in M4, and would scoop up a PM2 and/or N5 in this great steel, instantly.

I have the Manix 2 in M4. I'd definitely get in on a PM2 in M4. I'd take a good hard look at almost anything else in M4 too.

I think a N5 LW spring in M4 is pretty realistic. and the Para2 will definitely happen eventually

I missed the caly in super blue, an m4 caly would certainly satisfy my sick hunger...

I would like to see m4 in more models. The Bradley and the Air don't do it for me so I don't have much experience with m4.

A spyderco Bird and Trout in M4 would be incredible. It would be a must buy for me

Yes, please, but not in a lock back knife. Those just aren't my thing.

^ this. I don think the fact that they did the KW exclusive with half ti scales precludes the production of a standard production m4 Millie.

Swap out the heavy stainless liners and back spacer with titanium and that PPT would be perfect :D

I love M4, and would buy pretty much any other offerings Spyderco would produce.

It is just unnatural to me. I'm too used to knives I can open/close with one hand. I love my liner locks and frame locks. I would buy anything with a compression lock though!
