That's a good point.
I'm in for a Carbon Fiber Lightweight S110V Manix 2. :)

That's a really interesting idea.

Some very wise members e have here. I couldn't agree more. Make the Caly 3 / Caly 3.5 back into solid FRN (or solid G-10) models.
p.s. I also think a solid FRN (or solid G-10) Police 3 would be a great knife.

And fish scale texture on an FRN Caly just like on the Caly Jr.
Ohhhh yeah.... I though that was understood. I am sure it is universally known and accepted that the fish scale texture is the superior FRN pattern! :D

On a platform as ergonomically sorted as the Caly series, definitely.

The theme is more to showcase 'fancy' handles haha, and for them to make a mold worth it they would need to sell ALOT of them to break even... I can dream tho

I never added to this after being the OP. Mine are an easy one and a hard one.
1. Ayoob (Sal said that moving this to FRN and H1 SE would be a really easy concept since the Ayoob was made at the same plant that also does the H1 knives). I came to Spyderland right as the Ayoob sprints were drying up and I might be overstating how well these would sell. I have said before and will say again, this would be THE H1 folder IMO as the super negative angle would make cleaning fish a breeze and it is large enough to do heavy marine chores. This is easy and would be a grail.
2. Techno. I guess it would have to be either a lockback or CBBL lock and in doing so would widen the folded profile a lot. I just like the idea of a smaller stout thick bladed knife in FRN. This one will never happen but something close would rock
You guys have me so close to pulling the trigger on a Caly of some sort.
There has to be something to it when so many people agree on its goodness. Maybe once my Para 2 204P gets here and I see if you were right about that one being the bees knees, I will fall to the peer pressure.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.
Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.
