The Stretch blade is a great idea and close to perfect in shape and size for an EDC folder :D

- Retain the Compression Lock
- Twill Carbon Fiber as in the Sage I and Terzuola slipit
- A leaf/Millie/Stretch shaped blade
- Full Flat Ground
- In S90V (the ultimate, all around, usable steel)
- Deep riding Wire Clip (subdued finish)
- Make its action as smooth as the D2 Para

= Instant classic and most desirable Spyderco for generations to come. Not to mention my certain pocket companion for the foreseeable future.

Can't disagree with anything you said. I would prefer the Millie blade to the Stretch, though.

I love Superhawk lock and handle and I will be happy to see Calypso style blade on it, but I would pass on foliage green G10. :(

I love leafs among other shapes but think a 3.5" clip point would have real reeooow factor. I guess i might look a bit too much like the chinook for marketing sake unles it was a shallow clip.

Will it be built in seki again? If so it might make sense with a comparable high end JDM steel (while maybe not zdp). Price point is often the deal killer and shipping cpm can't be free. Hitachi blue? /ponder
