Spyderco Street Beat Lightweight in M390.

Zdp Police 3

A CQI’d Impala, with compression lock, ambi clip carry, and K390 steel. :)

Still want an original slab sided thick bladed lockback Manix but in 3V or Cruwear or maybe 4V. Yes it would be expensive. The new generations are more efficient and better engineered and I'd take one without complaint in these steels but I can dream about what I want to dream about. :)

Swick and Caspian would be nice in LC200N

..Are you talking about the C95 Manix with the "dino jimping"? Because thats what I want as well and in either of those three steels. But like you aaid, Id take a new Manix XL or Manix Backlock if a C95 Sprint wasnt an option.

Yessir. I love that old beast. People complained about the play ( up and down) of the blade when locked open in that design ( and the Chinook) but it didn't bother me. On mine I could feel it but it was so small I couldn't actually see it moving. It had a lot of steel that could be removed to save weight also which they did in the newer designs but I really liked that knife. I admit that I would belt pouch carry it though.

The newer style back locks like the Chapparal are finer designs to be sure. A lot of good engineering went into them and I like them. In the case of the original Manix and Chinook I can see the improvements made since then but I still like that old one. All that needless weight made me feel all secure. :)

The Tuff is a fantastic knife and I like mine but I much prefer EDC'ing a lockback. I have had a lot of liner locks and frame locks and have never really become all that fond of the design. About the only ones I still use are Millies and G.Brady in M4 but even then a lockback design with the same steel and performance would get much more pocket time with me.

C54 Calypso in any of the variations that we have seen the Caly3 in.

Same goes for the Caly3.5. I would love to see one in SS/CF/Damascus as well as one in green g10/HAP40.

^This, and some stainless (SRS-15, unlaminated Super Gold, etc.) would be awesome in the entire Calypso family.

Definitely the Spyderco Caspian Salt. Either exactly as before, or, in Lc200N stainless steel.

Yeah, that is a cool one. Another H1 run would be fine. Id like to see another run of the H1 Warrier as well. H1 is such a great steel in SE. Cant get enough of it.

I’d love to see the mini Persian given the same treatment as the Kiwi & Kopa series.

Calypso, Micarta handles, steel all but irrelevant :)

C54 Calypso - M390 (or one of its US counterparts), carbon fiber scales, wire clip to match the Caly 3 and 3.5.

I think I would like to see a sprint of the Tuff, Bradley Air, or the Dodo. 3 of my favorites

A Ti PPT with lock bar insert and XHP blade :cool:

Gayle Bradley 1 in 3V, 4V, or Cruwear.

CQI'd Junior; bronze washers, pakkawood scales, blackened deep carry clip, HAP-40/Supeblue/ZDP-189 or some other upgraded steel :spyder:

I would SO love my Harpy back in Carbon Fiber!!!!. There never was another like it and I cannot find a replacement! It was unlike any other knife and gave me a lot of enjoyment and pleasure. Its worth $400 to me

Taking back my previous answer to say I'd like a fully serrated H1 catcherman, black handle / black blade.
